Hi,





According to the United States Census Bureau, the world population is roughly 6,625,514,293. The United States population is roughly 299,398,484. Some quick division tells us that Americans currently make up about 4.5% of the world's population.

MikeWhat percentage of the worlds population do americans make up?
not enough, heres a rough estimate, we have about 250 mil, and the world has about 6.5bill, so thats about 3.8%ish
i know that someone already answered ur question so ill just add that we also are the third most populous country in the world
When five percent of the world's population (the U.S.) dominates the world's culture, currency and policy, that's a recipe for building animosity. When that five percent cares little about the world outside its borders, that's a recipe for disaster.





i found that on this website

it's the only one i could find
its very small. most of the worlds population is in Asia, India being the biggest people wise. China is big too. so big they can only have one kid.
World Population 6,600,000,000


USA Population 302,000,000





302,000,000/6,600,000,000 x 100= 4.5%
Americans make up a little less than 5 percent of the world population
ANerican just hit what, 303 Million and change





THere are 6.6 Billion people in the world.





SO divide and get about 4.6%
