Population of india

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.

Types: • Expansive - pyramid with a wide base (larger percentage of people in younger age groups, indicating high birth rates and high fertility rates) and narrow top (high death rate and lower life expectancies). It suggests a growing population. Example: • Constrictive - pyramid with a narrow base (lower percentage of younger people, indicating declining birth rates with each succeeding age group getting smaller than the previous one). Example: • Stationary - with a somewhat equal proportion of the population in each age group. The population is stable, neither increasing nor decreasing.

India is number 1 in global population. This clock board outside the International Institute for Population Sciences in Mumbai keeps track of the numbers. The photo is from June 2, 2023. Punit Paranjpe/AFP via Getty Images India is now the world's most populous nation with 1.486 billion people, passing China in April according to The sheer numbers might bring to mind images of city streets choked with automobiles and pedestrians, of commuter train cars with passengers packed in right up to the doors — and of food shortages and environmental destruction. Indeed, for decades, India ran massive public health campaigns to slow down the population growth. At times they resorted to But the population boom is no longer necessarily seen as a population bomb. "I think with India, the story has to be, what will India do with its population?" says 8 Billion and Counting: How Sex, Death and Migration Shape our World. "We've got this 1.4 billion people in India, and it's up to India to decide whether or not that becomes a resource or a burden." With about a sixth of the world's eight billion people living in India, some people do "India's total fertility has reached replacement levels, which means that two children replace two parents," says And in fact, she says, having a large young population can be seen as an "advantage." People are increasingly optimistic that this large cohort of young people will drive further economic growth. But it all depends on how the country manages its ow...
