The line graph examines changes that have occurred in the populations of
India
and China between 2000 and now, with estimations of population
size by 2050.
Overall
, the number of inhabitants has increased in both countries to date, but where in 2000 the gap between them was quite significant, today they are on par with one another.
In 2000, the total population
of China was at around 1.25 billion people, 250 million more than in India
. Although
China’s numbers continued to climb steadily, the Indian population
experienced a more dramatic rise, with both countries currently neck and neck.
It is anticipated that India
will surpass China, population
-wise, within the next five to ten years, continuing this
uptrend and reaching approximately 1.6 billion people by 2050.
China’s growth, on the other hand
, is set to slow down and plateau between 2030 and 2050, with its estimated population
finishing at just under 1.4 billion (roughly 200 million fewer people than in India
