Overtaking China, India has become the most populous country in the world

China is one of the most interesting countries in the world with its deep history and ancient culture. On the other hand, for a long time it was the most populous country in the world. However, the ranking has changed in the list of countries with the most populous population. According to the UN, India has overtaken China to become the most populous country in the world. Let’s look at the details together.

According to data recently released by the United Nations, India has become the new most populous country in the world, overtaking China.

According to the United Nations World Population Dashboard, India’s population has surpassed 1.428 billion.

The population of China, which until recently held the title of the most populous country in the world, remained at the level of 1 billion 425 million people. About one-fifth of the world’s population lives in India. The population of India exceeds the combined population of the countries of Europe, Africa and America.

While India’s status as the world’s most populous country brings some benefits, it also poses significant challenges.

For example, due to the ever-growing population, the government is struggling with a serious employment problem. However, the number of people employed in agriculture in India is decreasing day by day. For this reason, it is stated that a serious food crisis may arise in the country in the future. However, if India takes the right steps economically, it could become one of the fastest growing countries in the world.

India, with half of its population under the age of 30, could become one of the world’s largest economies in the coming years.

India is currently the 3rd largest economy in Asia. It is argued that if it can properly utilize the growing human resources, it can have an extremely strong economy in the coming period. Because it is stated that the population of India will continue to grow in the coming period.

While the population of India is increasing, the population of China is decreasing. China’s population is expected to drop to 1.317 billion by 2050.

According to experts, the population of India on the same day will reach 1 billion 668 million people. China’s National Bureau of Statistics announced that the country’s population declined in 2022 for the first time in 62 years. 2022 was the year China’s birth rate was at its lowest since 1961.
