India to surpass China as most populous nation in '23: UN

 

Population is one of the most important factors which balance the environment, which means the balance in the means and resources. Population is a set or group of people who share common characteristics.

India has set a new record to be the most populous country in the world by the mid of this year to about 1.429 billion people, overcoming China which was about 1.426 billion. this record was released by United Nations (UN) population fund (formerly United Nations Fund for Population Activities, or UNFPA. India surpasses China with about 3 million counts. the Asian nation contributes to the world population with about one by third of the overall population. when they count the China population, they didn’t include Hong Kong and Macao, the special administrative regions of China, said by the state of world population report. But India didn’t surpass China’s socio-economic parameters. They also claimed that the life expectancy of birth of women in India is 74 years, but China stands at 82 years. however, the per capita income of China is still in the highest position that is to be 5X times India’s per capita income in 2023 by International Monetary Fund (IMF). More than 50 percent of India’s population below 25 years old which will benefit them the demographic dividend.  Demographic dividend means that the economic growth potential that can result it in the shifts in a population’s age structure, mainly when the working population (15-65 years old) share is more than that of the non- working population share. they also reported that the national fertility rate below falls down to 2.1, by that India is witnessing an historical opportunity that is the demographic transition as a youthful nation, by this the economy can benefit such as additional investments in health, education, and quality jobs for young people including investments to improve employment opportunities for women and girls. this can lead to some impact on megatrends such as climate change, urbanization, migration, and agency into policy initiatives.  in 2021, there was no decadal census, because of this India lacks accurate estimates of its population. By 2023, India will surpass China and will become the most populous nation.

There are many negative impacts occur because of overpopulation which are more people needs more food, water, housing, energy, healthcare, transportation and more which will lead to economic degradation, pollution, increased conflicts, and higher risk of occurring pandemics.
