The most populous country in the world is no longer China, but our own country, India. In the beginning of this year itself, global experts were also estimating that the maximum number of deaths was going to happen in India in 2023, and now the latest figures of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) have also confirmed this.
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) data shows that India has now become the most populous country in the world. India now has two million more people than China, and the population of this country has crossed 140 crore. The birth rate in China has decreased, and it has been recorded in negative territory this year.
The latest figures released by the United Nations body, UNFPA's State of World Population Report 2023', which has also been released with the title 8 Billion Lives, Infinite Possibilities: The Case for Rights and Choice', said It has been said that the population of India is now 1,428.6 million, while the population of China is 1,425.7 million. That means there is a difference of 2.9 million in the population of both. The latest figures have also been given in the report in the category of demographic indicators.
For the first time, India's population exceeds that of China. This is the first time in the UN's population data record that India's population has been recorded higher than that of China since 1950; in fact, the establishment of the United Nations in 1945 ended World War II. It happened after 1950, and the United Nations has started collecting and releasing population data. If you look at the chart and table of the population of the United Nations from 1950 to 2023, the population of India increased in this way:
Now that means the population of India in 2023 will be 1,428,627,663, which is 0.81% more than in 2022. India's population in 2022 was 1,417,173,173, which was 0.68% more than in 2021. India's population in 2021 was 1,407,563,842, which was 0.8% more than in 2020. The population of India in 2020 was 1,396,387,127, which was 0.96% more than in 2019.
