The India population forecast provided in the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) State of World Population report is only an estimate.
China is currently the most populous country in the world with a population of 1.4257 billion people.
The country has been the most populous country for many years but another country is about to take over.
According to predictions by the United Nations (UN), India will become the most populous country in the world.
Data from the UN predicts this to happen by the middle of this year.
India’s population is expected to reach 1.4286 billion which is 2.9 million more than China.
Countries on the Asian continent have accounted for more than a third of the global population for over 70 years.
Last year, China’s population reduced for the first time since 1961 due to a reduction in the birth rate.

This is because there has been no census in the country since 2011.
In addition, the UN says their estimate does not include the population of China’s two Special Administrative Regions – Hong Kong and Macau – or the island of Taiwan.
In November, the population globally crossed 8 billion.
However, experts note that population growth is not as rapid as it used to be and is now at its slowest rate since 1950.
