India, which is facing a population explosion, will overtake China in terms of population next year. In fact, on the occasion of World Population Day on Monday, the United Nations (UN) released a report, which states that by 2023, India will become the most populous country in the world.
At present, the population of China is 1.426 billion and that of India is 1.412 billion. It is believed that the population of India is going to increase to 1.429 billion in 2023. Also by 2050, this figure will reach 1.668 billion. At the same time, China's population will see a decline in the middle of the century. The population here will come down to 1.317 billion.
On November 15th we will be 8 billion
The UN estimates that the world population will touch 8 billion on 15 November 2022. However, it is a matter of relief that the world's population is growing at the lowest rate since 1950. If the report is to be believed, the rate of population growth has declined by 1% in 2020.
The latest estimates also suggest that the world population will cross 8.5 billion by 2030 and 9.7 billion by 2050. John Wilmoth, director of the Population Division at the UN, said that in 2080, the population will be at its peak and will reach 10.4 billion.
By 2050 50% of the population will be in 8 countries
According to the report, by 2050, half of the world's population will be in just 8 countries. These include Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Philippines, and Tanzania. At present, the population of 46 developed countries is growing the fastest, of which 32 countries are in sub-Saharan Africa.
It is estimated that by 2050, more than half of the world's population will live in this region. On the other hand, there are 61 countries whose population will decrease between 2022 and 2050. Most of these countries will be included in Europe.
Women and elders will increase in the world
According to the report, currently, 50.3% of the world is male and 49.7% female, but by 2050 both the numbers will be equal. In addition, people aged 65 and over currently account for 10% of the global population. This will increase to 12% between 2022 and 2030 and to 16% by 2050. During this time in Europe and North America, one out of every 4 people will be over 65 years of age.
