Projections suggest that India will become the most populous country in the world. Worldcreate big problems for this nation with the largest number of poor people in the world, with limited resources and minimal family control policy.
Latest report on World Population Prospects predicts India will have 1,429 million inhabitants by 2023, surpassing China even sooner than expected, a fact that highlights the urgency that the world’s largest poor population also has.
According to the 1941 Indian census, the population country was just over 360 million people, meaning that the country’s population has quadrupled since independence from british empire, in 1947.
In India, high birth rates are historically associated with poverty, high infant mortality, and low levels of women’s education.
INDIA Vs. CHINA
Unlike China, India’s population growth “means an increase in poverty, unemployment, sanitation problems, slums”; In short, “it won’t be good,” demographer A. K. Sharma, author of Population and Society, told Efe.
In developing countries, Sharma explained, gradual population growth has very different consequences than in developed countries, where population growth stimulates investment and economic growth.
But in the case of India, “population growth does not provide any benefits,” he said.
In addition, he added, with greater territorial expansion and a model of government such as China, growth planning produces very different results in China to what you would expect from India, home to 18 percent of the world’s population.
According to the researcher and university professor, the country needs a family control policy aimed primarily at the poorest population, namely the part of society that is growing the fastest.
