These two states are home to 35.4 crore people, which is more than the 3rd most populous country in the world, America. Both states also have high Total Fertility Rates (TFR).
November 15, 2022, is historic as the world population reaches the 8 billion mark, India is expected to overtake China as the world's most populous country in 2023. The latest report of the United Nations, titled 'UN World Population Prospect 2022', released on November 14 on the occasion of World Population Day, has made various projections about the world's population. It went ahead with further projections on population, stating that the world population will grow to 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion by 2050, and 10.4 billion by 2100.
China and India will account for more than 1.4 billion of the world's population in 2022, the report said. It also said India will have a population of 1.66 billion in 2050, surpassing China's 1.37 billion at that time. The report predicts that India will overtake China to become the world's most populous country by 2023, accounting for more than half the population of India, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, Congo, the United Republic of Tanzania, Pakistan, and the Philippines. By 2050, the world's population is expected to increase.
The population of 61 countries or regions is projected to decline by one percent or more between 2022 and 2050, due to lower fertility rates and, in some cases, increased migration rates. But 46 of the world's least-developed countries are among the world's fastest-growing.
Now amid this announcement, internet users have reacted to this news with hilarious memes and messages. Some users shared live recordings of the moment the count reached the eight billion mark, while others jokingly wrote, "8 billion people and I'm still alone."
