The graph below shows the population of India and China from the year 2000 to the present day with projections for growth to the year 2050.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.
The given graph illustrates how many
people
live in
India
and China from 2000 to today and how many will do the same in the future. In general, what stands out from the graph is that the
population
of
India
is increasing during the observed period. Another interesting point is that scientists predicted in both countries will live the same number of
people
in 2030. Looking at the details, as regards
India
, it can be clearly seen that it started at one
billion
people
in 2000 and continue to grow every year. It does not predict to experience a drop. Concerning China's
population
, it started at less than 1,3
billion
people
in 2000, it is predicted that it will reach a peak at 1,45
billion
in 2030 and
then
fall to 1,4
billion
.
Overall
, the major difference between the two
population
trends is that the number of
people
in China is forecast to start falling after 2030
whereas
the
population
of
India
will continue to soar.
