RURAL & URBAN RURAL & URBAN POPULATIONPOPULATION

Demographers expect India's population to

surpass the population of China, currently

the most populous country in the world, by 2030. At that time, India is expected to

have a population of more than 1.53 billion

while China's population is forecast to be at its

peak of 1.46 billion (and will begin to drop in subsequent years).

• India is currently home to about 1.15 billion people, representing a full 17% of the earth’s population. When India gained independence from the United Kingdom sixty years ago, the country's population was a mere 350 million. Since 1947, the population of India has more than tripled.

At that time, India is expected to have a population of more than 1.53 billion while China's population is forecast to

be at its peak of 1.46 billion (and will

begin to drop in subsequent years).

With just over 1.3 billion people (1,330,044,605 as of mid-2008), China is the world's most populous country. As the world's population is approximately 6.7 billion, China represents a full 20% of the world's population so one in every five people on the planet is a resident of China

.

China's population growth has been somewhat slowed by the one child policy, in effect since 1979. As recently as 1950, China's population was a mere 563 million. The population grew dramatically through the following decades to one billion in the early 1980s.
