India’s population growth is stablising, it is “still growing at 0.7% per year” and is set to surpass China in 2023 as the world’s most populous country, according to the United Nations Population Fund, which said the world’s population reached 8 billion on Tuesday.
China’s population is no longer growing and “may start declining as early as 2023”, the UN stated. It noted that India’s fertility rate has hit 2.1 births per woman — replacement-level fertility — and is falling.
The UN said while it took the global population 12 years to grow from 7 billion to 8 billion, it will take approximately 15 years — until 2037 — for it to reach 9 billion — “a sign that overall growth rate of global population is slowing”.
