Detailed explanation-1: -India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country next year, according to a report by the United Nations on Monday which said that the world population is forecast to reach eight billion by mid-November 2022.
Detailed explanation-2: -India may have already surpassed China as the world’s most-populous nation in a milestone that adds urgency for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create more jobs and ensure the country sustains its world-beating growth.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the numbers: India was home to 1.417 billion people as of last year, compared to China’s 1.426 billion, per UN figures. But as India’s population continues to grow, China’s population is expected to decline - to 1.313 billion by 2050, per the UN’s most recent “medium variant” projection.
