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.

The line graph compares the populations of two countries,

India

and

China

from 2000 until 2050. From the present until 2050, the data rely on projections.

Overall

, it is shown that

China

's

population

increased until now

while

it is projected that it will decline until 2050.

On the other hand

, we can observe that

India

's

population

increased until now and it

also

will increase by 2050.

Firstly

, the

population

of

China

started at 1,250

billion

in 2000 and peaked at 1,450

billion

at present. It remains almost steady until 2040 when it will start a slight decline until 2050. The

population

of

India

started at 1,000

billion

in 2000 and it continued an upward trend until now when it reached 1,400

billion

.

However

, the projections of

India

's

population

show that it will increase until 2050 when it will peak at 1,600

billion

.

Finally

, we can see that there is a similar point in the graph. In 2030 it is projected that

India

and

China

's populations will be the same at 1,450

billion

approximately.
