India overtakes China as world’s most populous country
India has overtaken China to become the world’s most populous country nation, according to recent estimates UN’s world Populous Dashboard.
India has surprised China in population and is now the most populous country in the world, according to a UN Population Fund (UNFPA) report titled “The state of world Population Report, 2023”.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China has controlled its population in recent years۔
As reported by Bloomberg, at the end of 2022, India’s Population stood at 1.417 billion, based on ‘UN’ projections, while according to data recently released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics, its population at the end of 2022 was slightly less than 1.412 billion, a decrease from how many people it had in 2021.
India now has 5 million more people than China.
India’ population has consistently been undercounted. India becoming the most populous country in the world is hardly surprising. South Asia as a whole has already had a larger population. People of India are already living in poverty۔
The Indian government did not take any concrete measures to control the population, that’s why today it has overtaken China in terms of population. There, China controlled its population and today it continues to overtake the world economically۔
