India is anticipated to surpass China to become the world’s most-populous country in 2023, 4 years ahead of an until now estimate by means of the United Nations.
The UN expects world population to hit eight billion on Nov. 15 and grow to 8.5 billion via 2030. More than half the projected upward thrust between now and 2050 is predicted to be in just eight countries: Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and Tanzania, according to a file titled World Population Prospects 2022.
