So this afternoon when I was doing my grammar homework, I realised that there is 2 reasonable answers for 1 question. It is 'The world population....' and 'The world's population.....'. I asked my teacher and he said the answer was the 'the world's population', but he didn't really know why that is the answer. So I just want to figure this out. Please help me!

    You should give the question so we have the context

  • The Ngram indicates similar usage for both expressions and no difference between AmE and BrE. (Click on 'search lots of books', please - the Ngram is being silly.)
