The graph illustrates the changes in the population of India and China from 2000 to the present, along with projections until 2050. The population figures are presented in billions.
In 2000, China had a significantly larger population than India, with approximately 1.25 billion compared to India’s 1 billion. Over the years, India’s population has grown steadily, passing China’s population around 2030. By 2050, India’s population is projected to reach about 1.65 billion, while China’s is expected to decline to 1.4 billion.
China’s population showed an increase until around 2030, after which it is projected to decline. In contrast, India’s population shows a consistent upward trend through the entire period. This divergency suggests that India will become the country with the most population by 2030, with its growth continuing until 2050, whereas China’s population begins to decrease after reaching its peak.
Overall, the data highlights contrasting population graphs for the two countries, with India overtaking China and continuing to grow, while China experiences a decline in population after 2030.
