The graph shows how the populations of India and China are expected to change from 2000 to 2050. India’s population will grow a lot during this time. In 2000, India had about 1 billion people, and by 2050, it’s projected to reach 1.6 billion, which means an increase of 600 million people. This shows that India’s population is growing quickly.
On the other hand, China’s population growth is much slower. From 2000 to 2050, China’s population is expected to increase by only 150 million, which is way smaller than India’s growth.
By the 2030s, the populations of India and China are expected to be about the same. After that, India’s population will keep growing, while China’s population will start to decline because of lower birth rates and an aging population.
In 2000, China’s population was about 250 million more than India’s, but by 2050, India is expected to pass China in population size, which is a big shift.
