Description

"Based on the projections, India’s population by mid-year will reach 1.4286 billion, compared to China’s 1.4257 billion – 2.9 million fewer – according to the United Nations Population Fund’s (UNFPA) “State of World Population Report” for 2023. The United States is a very distant third, with an estimated population of 340 million, the data, which reflects information available as of February, showed. By 2050, eight countries will account for half the projected growth in global population: The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and Tanzania, according to the UNFPA report. China has held the distinction of most populous country since at least 1950, when the UN population records began. China and India together will account for more than a third of the estimated global population, which is expected to hit 8.045 billion by mid-year, the UN report said. But, contrary to public perception, population growth has been slowing in both countries – particularly in China, which recorded a population decline for the first time in six decades last year." 29/04/23 Check the full article copying the link: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/19/asia/india-china-population-intl/index.html
