China will no longer be the world's largest population

In China and India, 37 percent of the world's population now live, which has grown to over 7.7 billion. Some 1.4 billion people live in China, while in India some 1.3 billion people live.

However, in the United Nations report on the future of the world population, which was released this week, it is said that India will be the country with the highest inhabitants starting in 2027. It is expected that over the years, the population gap between the two countries will increase.

“Mes 2019 and 2050, the population in 55 states or regions is expected to decrease to at least 1 percent”, the report says. Causers of this reduction will be the low rate of natural growth and the large number of displaced persons.

According to this document, China will experience the largest population contraction during this period. More precisely, the Chinese population is expected to shrink to 31.4 million people, or 2.2 percent.

This report predicts that the number of people in the world in 2050 will rise to 9.7 billion, which represents enormous growth in just one century, writes “CNN”
