The current population of India and China are very close. According to the current population growth rate, India's population will soon exceed that of China.
According to the "World Population Prospects 2022" report released by the United Nations, India's population will reach 1.412 billion in 2022, while China's will be 1.426 billion. It is expected that India's population will surpass China's in 2023. Here, it is particularly important to note that China's population is not surpassed by India because of a decrease in population or negative growth, but because India's population is growing faster than China.
When will India's population surpass China's in 2023? Some media now predict that around mid-April 2023, India will finally be able to claim the title of the world's most populous country.
Chinese people are not too anxious about the fact that India’s population will surpass that of China. At least people living around me think so. They don’t seem to be worried about competition from India. As netizens said, many Chinese people have long wanted to give India the title of the most populous country.
But if economic aggregate and technology surpass China, people will be worried. Currently, China's economic GPD is about five times that of India. Therefore, India still has a long way to go to catch up with China's economy.
Another very important point is that for the children of many families in India, their education level is low and the illiteracy rate is high, especially among women. According to public data, only about 9% of the female population in India are eligible for employment or job hunting; a large number of working-age people have not received the appropriate education and training and cannot adapt to their jobs.
China is just the opposite. China’s higher education has become universal. 10 people take the college entrance examination, and basically 9 go to college. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a university for all people. Now our country graduates more than 10 million college students every year. Such a large number of college graduates are added every year, which can provide a source of impetus for the development of enterprises and society, especially enterprises in the technology industry, which will have broader development space in the future.
