Not surprisingly, the largest countries in the world in terms of population are However, a number of countries considered by the International Monetary Fund to be developing countries (that is, having not achieved a high degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and where the population typically has a medium to low standard of living) also have sizeable populations, including It is notable that a number of the largest economies in the world have smaller populations, particularly in Furthermore, several extremely small countries, such as

The cry of a baby born in Yet the story of India’s population boom is really two stories. In the north, led by just two states, the population is still rising. In the richer south, numbers are stabilising and in some areas declining. The deepening divisions between these regions mean the government must eventually grapple with a unique problem: the consequences of a baby boom and an ageing population, all inside one nation. Thank you for your feedback. On 15 November the world’s population will reach a total of 8 billion people. Between now and 2050, over half of the projected increase in the global population will happen in just eight countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, the United Republic of Tanzania – and India. The growth will place huge pressure on India’s resources, economic stability and society, and the repercussions will reach far beyond its borders. As a country on the forefront of the climate crisis, already grappling with extreme weather events 80% of the year, diminishing resources such as water could become decisive factors in what India’s future population looks like. One country, two stories Fears of “population explosion” in India – where development caves in beneath the weight of an uncontrollably expanding population and the country’s resources are overrun, leaving millions to starve – have abounded for over a century. Post independence, India’s population grew at a significant pace; betwe...

India will replace China as the most populous country in the world in 2023, and it will continue to have that distinction till 2100, according to the latest population projections by the United Nations. India will replace China as the most populous country in the world in 2023, and it will continue to have that distinction till 2100, according to the latest population projections by the United Nations. (PTI) The UN numbers also predict that the global population is expected to cross the 8 billion mark this year, even though it has already entered a phase of significant deceleration. According to the World Population Prospects 2022 (WPP), released by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) on Monday, India’s population will reach 1.428 billion on July 1, 2023, which will be marginally higher than the 1.426 billion figure for China at the time. This will catapult India to the top of the population ranking, with a peak figure likely being hit in 2064 when the country is predicted to have 1.697 billion people. By 2100, the number will gradually come down to 1.53 billion. China’s population, which is expected to have peaked at 1.425 in 2021, will decline significantly to reach just 0.77 billion by 2100. According to the report, India’s population stands at 1.412 billion in 2022. “The relationship between population growth and sustainable development is complex and multidimensional” said Liu Zhenmin, UN under-secretary-general for Economic and Socia...
