India’s Population Growth
India’s population is set to reach its peak of approximately 1.7 billion in the early 2060s. Following this peak, the country’s population will start to decline. Despite this eventual decrease, India will maintain its status as the world’s most populous nation throughout the century. This significant demographic shift raises important questions about the future of other countries, particularly China and the US.
As India navigates these changes, it will be interesting to see how China, which has already experienced a decline in birth rates, responds. The US, on the other hand, continues to grow but at a much slower pace. The shifting populations will affect global dynamics, including economic growth, workforce availability, and international relations.
