India will replace China as the world’s most populous nation next year, the United Nations projects.
The report, World Population Prospects 2022, put the population at 7.942 billion and forecast it will reach 8 billion on Nov. 15The United Nations said Monday it expects the world’s population to reach 8 billion on Nov. 15 this year and it projects that India will replace China as the world’s most populous nation next year.
The report, released on World Population Day, said global population growth fell below 1% in 2020 and is growing at its slowest rate since 1950. According to the latest U.N. projections, the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and a peak of about 10.4 billion people during the 2080s. It is projected to remain at that level until 2100.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called 2022 a “milestone year" with “the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant.”
