World Population Day: India will overtake China in 2023, says the UN

India is set to become the world's most populous country next year, overtaking China with its 1.4bn people, according to UN figures.But population growth is not as rapid as it used to be.

At the same time, some of the world's most developed economies are already seeing population decline as fertility rates fall below 2.1 children per woman, which is known as the "replacement rate". In 61 countries, the report says, populations will decline by at least 1% by 2050. As India's population continues to grow it will almost certainly overtake China as the country with the biggest population in the world.

China + India: great hope for a better world!

Wow

The reason for the high population is the elderly population, if you look at the birth to rates (in Turkey) it is ~ 1.70 now. This was almost double (~2.38) 20 years ago. If you look 40 years ago, it is 4 times (~4.28). This is the case almost all over the world.

We know, already. Overtaking the world - it is worrying.
