According to data released by the United Nations, India has surpassed China as the world’s most populous nation.

With a population of 1.4286 billion, India has slightly overtaken China’s 1.4257 billion people, although China’s numbers did not include Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

India’s population is under 30, and the country is expected to be the world’s fastest-growing major economy in the coming years.

However, the burgeoning population adds urgency for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government to create employment for the millions of people entering the workforce as the nation moves away from farm jobs.

India’s population growth has outpaced China’s since 1974, and the country is now home to nearly a fifth of humanity, greater than the entire population of Europe, Africa, or the Americas.

India added about 23 million babies in 2022, while China’s population started shrinking for the first time in six decades, with about 9.56 million newborns last year.
