"World Population Day: India Will Overtake China In 2023, Says The UN"

"India is set to become the world's most populous country next year, overtaking China with its 1.4bn people, according to UN figures.

By this November, the planet will be home to 8bn.

But population growth is not as rapid as it used to be.

It is now at its slowest rate since 1950 and is set to peak, says the UN, around the 2080s at about 10.4bn though some demographers believe that could happen even sooner."

Stephanie Hegarty reports for BBC News July 11, 2022.
