Abstract: This study promotes the use of the economic centroid method, which calculates the mean of the coordinates of the regions in an area weighted by a socioeconomic variable. It applies this method to world population and economic data from 1950 to 2100. Supported by the deviations from proportional growth approach and a newly developed Quantum GIS Python tool, it successfully visualises structural changes in the world population and economy. The economic centroid method needs further development to add the ability to minimise the influence of the geographical location of a region on the centroid’s movement.
