India population 2022

In a significant development, India may have already surpassed China as the world's most populous country. According to projections from the World Population Review (WPR), India’s population was 141.7 crore as of the end of 2022. That's a little more than 50 lakh more than the 141.2 crore declared by China on January 17, when there was the first fall since the 1960s, according to official announcements. India, a country where 50 percent of the population is under 30, is anticipated to have the world's fastest-growing major economy. The milestone was supposed to be reached later this year, according to the UN. According to WPR, India's population increased to 142.3 crore people as of January 18. WPR predicts that, though India's population growth has slowed, it will still climb until at least 2050. The largest programme of its kind in the world, free food rations are still used by around 80 crore people in India, despite the country's relatively good recovery from the pandemic and its rapid economic expansion prior to COVID-19. The third-largest economy in Asia is currently self-sufficient in In his January 18 report, Bloomberg Economist Eric Zhu referred to the minor recession that China is currently experiencing as a "growth crushing headwind for a long time". According to information made public by the National Statistics Bureau, China's population decreased by 8.5 lakh in 2022 compared to the previous year. (With agency inputs)

Visualizing India’s Population Growth from 2022-2100 For years, India has been on track to overtake China as the world’s most populated country. In fact, we’ve covered this phenomenon in However, according to the UN’s latest population prospects, this takeover is projected to happen sooner than previously expected—as early as next year. This graphic by Pablo Alvarez provides an up-to-date chart of India’s population growth projections compared to other countries. Projection data from Some Historical Context For over three centuries, China has had the largest population of any country in the world. In the 1800s, China’s population was about 322 million, which was nearly double India’s at the time. And until the mid-20th century, both countries’ populations stayed relatively stable. However, in 1949, China’s population started to experience dramatic growth. This occurred after the Chinese Civil War when the People’s Republic of China was first established. Around the same time, India’s population had also started to increase. Since both countries were experiencing population booms, the status quo remained the same, and China kept its position as the world’s most populated country.

The dimensions of India’s young population The A large majority of these young Indians were born after the economic liberalization of the early 1990s, signifying this group to be the largest consumer and source of labor – creating a large talent pool not just for India, but the world. This was evident in the Adjusting family structures with a booming economy Urbanization to keep up with a competitive economy changed the traditional Indian family structure. While still primarily patrilinear, the large joint families of over eight members have disintegrated over the decades to smaller nuclear setups. The average household consisted of four members, headed usually by a male member. Moreover, The de-centralization of the large Indian family as a primary source of economic support, arguably reduced it to a social institution. This impacted fertility rates, postponed age of marriage, and The balance between the talent pool and opportunity Whether the composition of India’s population is a pro or con for the economy is dependent on Among the more affluent Indians, millions go abroad to study and/or work every year.

The latest UN projections suggest that the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050, before reaching a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s. The population is expected to remain at that level until 2100. Slowest growth rate since 1950s However, the annual the global population is growing at its slowest rate since 1950, having fallen to less that one per cent in 2020. Fertility, the report declares, has fallen markedly in recent decades for many countries: today, two-thirds of the global population lives in a country or area where lifetime fertility is below 2.1 births per woman, roughly the level required for zero growth in the long run, for a population with low mortality. In 61 countries or areas, the population is expected to decrease by at least one per cent over the next three decades, as a result of sustained low levels of fertility and, in some cases, elevated rates of emigration. The “Further actions by Governments aimed at reducing fertility would have little impact on the pace of population growth between now and mid-century, because of the youthful age structure of today’s global population,” said John Wilmoth, Director of the Population Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA). “Nevertheless, the cumulative effect of lower fertility, if maintained over several decades, could be a more substantial deceleration of global population growth in the second half of the century”.
