Jewish population refers to the number of Jews in the world. Precise figures are difficult to calculate because the definition of "Who is a Jew" is a source of controversy. Worldwide, there are about 14.0 million Jews (with an enlarged Jewish population of approximately 15.2 million), or about 0.2% of the world population. Below is a list of significant Jewish populations in the world by country:
