The graph shows how the population of India and China have changed since 2000 and how
they will change in the future. Overall, over the 50-year period, India is going to experience
steady growth in its population and it will overtake China.
In 2000, there were more people living in China than in India. The number of Chinese was 1.25
billion, while India's population was about 1 billion. Between 2000 and the present, there has
been a 0.2 billion rise in the number of Indian citizens. Over the same period, China's
population has increased by 0.1 billion to reach over 1.35 billion.
According to the graph, the population in India will increase more quickly than in China, and
experts say that by 2030, both countries will have the same population of 1.45 billion. After
this, China's population is likely to fall slightly to 1.4 billion in 2050, while India's population
will probably increase and reach 1.6 billion.
