India will surpass China to become the world’s most populated country which will have 1.7 billion people by the year 2050, new predictions from the United Nations (UN) indicate.
Analysts, on the other hand, caution that India could possibly be bringing down its fertility at a quicker rate compared to what the U.N.’s projections show.
The 2015 review to the U.N.’s World Population Projections was unveiled on Thursday.
The world populace reached 7.3 billion at the time of mid-2015, adding roughly one billion people in the past 12 years.
The world population, on the other hand, keeps growing less quickly currently; a decade back, the growth rate was 1.24 % a year, while presently, it is growing by 1.18 per cent, or somewhere around, an additional 83 million people yearly.
As report says, it’s going to take Fifteen years to add the next billion people, taking the world population to 8.5 billion in 2030.
By the year 2050, the world will likely have 9.7 billion people and 11.2 billion by 2100.
China’s population will begin turning down by the 2030s, while India’s is predicted to drop only after 2069 when its population is close to 1.75 billion.
