United Nations: India, which is facing population explosion, will overtake its neighboring country China in terms of population next year. This will make India the most populous country in the world. This has been revealed in the latest United Nations report released on Monday. The United Nations also reported that the world’s population will reach eight billion by mid-November 2022. However, the good thing in the report is that the world’s population is growing at the lowest rate since 1950.

The rate of growth of population has decreased by one percent in the year 2020. The United Nations said that by November 15, 2022, the world’s population will reach the figure of 8 billion. The latest UN estimates suggest that the world population could reach 8.5 billion by 2030 and 9.7 billion by 2050. It is believed that the world population will reach its peak in the year 2080. During this time the total population of the world will reach 10.4 billion and will remain in this place till the year 2100.

World population 8 billion in November
The Secretary-General of the United Nations said that the world’s population will reach 8 billion in November this year, just after World Population Day (July 11). This is an occasion when we celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity and marvel at the progress we have made in the field of health. Due to the progress in the field of health, the age of people is increasing and the child mortality rate is also decreasing.

It has been revealed in this report that in the year 2023, India will overtake China in terms of population. With this, India will become the most populous country in the world. The two most populous countries of the world will be from East Asia and South Asia and their total number will be 2.3 billion. This would be 29 percent of the total population on Earth.
