The graph illustrates the population changes of India and China from 2000 to the present day, along with a guess for future growth up to 2050.
In 2000, China had a significantly larger population than India, with approximately 1.27 billion people compared to India’s 1 billion. Over the next ten year, China’s population grew steadily, and is estimated to reach 1.45 billion in 2030. However, after 2030, China’s population is expected to decrease, and reach about 1.4 billion by 2050.
On the other hand, Indıa shows a constant increase level throughout the whole period. In the mid-2020s, India’s population catches up with China’s population and continues to grow steadily and it is expected to reach approximately 1.7 billion by 2050. This marks an important increase of about 700 million people over the 50- year period.
Overall, while China’s population growth stabilizes and eventually decreases whereas India has continuous growth, making it the more crowded country by 2050. These trends reflect significant demographic changes for both nations.
