India is on its way to become the world’s most populous country, overtaking China with almost 3 million more people in the middle of this year, data by UN shows
India's annual population growth has averaged 1.2 percent since 2011, compared with 1.7 percent in the 10 years previously, according to government data.
India is on its way to become the world’s most populous country, overtaking China with almost 3 million more people in the middle of this year, data released by the United Nations has shown. The demographic data released on Wednesday from the United Nations Population Fund’s “State of World Population Report, 2023” estimates India’s population at 1.4286 billion against 1.4257 billion for China.The data reflects information available as of February 2023, the report said.
Population experts using previous data from the UN have projected India would go past China this month. But the latest report from the global body did not specify a date for when the change would take place. UN population officials have said it was impossible to specify a date due to “uncertainty” about the data coming out of India and China, especially since India’s last census was conducted in 2011 and the next one due in 2021 has been delayed due to the pandemic.These are the wrong questions.
