Demography in early modern period

In the early modern phase there is evidence in rise of the population. Human numbers increased more or less steadily with an accelerating rate in till the eighteenth century. And according to sources which estimated the world population grew by 350-550 million over 300 years. Viewed as a whole, the demographic curves of the globe‘s various population was look quite unalike except perhaps for a fairly universal rise in the 19th and 20th centuries. Furthermore, even between 1500 and 1800 the various population rates of increase and decrease vary widely. China grows faster than Europe, and Europe grows faster than India. But exception central America and in Japan , the shapes of the various population curves in the 16th century and the first part of the 17th century are similar to a remarkable degree. And even Central America shares the 17th century global dip in the curve.
