20 Least Diverse Countries in the World

1. Japan

Racial Diversity: 1.9%

Topping our list of the least diverse countries in the world is Japan. The country is renowned for its remarkable ethnic homogeneity, with Japanese people constituting a significant 98.5% of the country’s population. Globally, the Japanese consist of around 126 million individuals, ranking them among the largest ethnic groups worldwide. This ethnic composition is partly attributed to Japan’s stringent immigration policies, which allow only a mere 1.9% of its population to be comprised of people from other racial or cultural backgrounds.
