Earth's Human Population To Hit 8 Billion In November-India Overtaking China As Most Populous Country


The United Nations (U.N), has postulated that the world’s population will reach 8 billion on Nov. 15, with India displacing China as the world’s most populous nation next year.

The global population growth fell below 1% in 2020 for the first time since 1950. According to a report released by the U.N, on World Population Day.

In the latest U.N. projections, the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and a peak of around 10.4 billion during the 2080s. It is forecast to remain at that level until 2100.

The report says more than half the projected increase in population up to 2050 will be concentrated in just eight countries: Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and Tanzania.

The report, “World Population Prospects 2022,” puts the world’s population at 7.942 billion now and forecasts it will reach 8 billion in mid-November.

The report projects that next year India, with a current population of 1.412 billion, will surpass China, with a current population of 1.426 billion.

The U.N. projects that in 2050 the United States will remain the third most populous country in the world, behind India and China. Nigeria is projected to be No. 4, followed by Pakistan, Indonesia, Brazil, Congo, Ethiopia and Bangladesh. Russia and Mexico, which are in the top 10 most populous countries in 2022, are projected to lose their ninth and 10th spots in 2050.
