Governments come in all shapes and sizes, but can ultimately be divided into two broad categories:Â democracies and autocracies.
Using the Regimes of the World classification system developed by political scientists Anna LĂŒhrmann, Marcus Tannenberg, and Staffan Lindberg and data from V-Dem, itâs estimated that 2.3 billion people – about 29% of the global population – lived in a democracy in 2021.
By contrast, as Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld details below, that means 71% of people lived under what can be considered an autocratic regime.
