India is set to surpass China as the world’s most populous nation, with almost 3 million more people by the middle of this year, data released by the United Nations on Wednesday showed. Based on the projections, India’s population by mid-year will reach 1.4286 billion, compared to China’s 1.4257 billion – 2.9 million fewer – according to the United Nations Population Fund’s “State of World Population Report” for 2023.
But the UN has been unable to determine a date this shift will take place, due to “uncertainty” about the data coming from China and India. India carries out a census once every 10 years, but the last one – which was due to be held in 2021 – was delayed during the pandemic. The country’s most recent official data dates to 2011. By mid-year, the global population is estimated to hit 8.045 billion, the UN report said.
