What is the age structure of the population of India

100 million people.

On March 4, India announced the results of the 2021 population statistics, with India's population reaching 100 million, officially surpassing China's population of 100 million in 2021, leading by about 3 million people, and becoming the world's most populous country.

India is located in South Asia and is the largest country in the South Asian subcontinent. It is bordered by Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and China to the northeast, Myanmar to the east, Sri Lanka to the southeast, and Pakistan to the northwest. It is bordered by the Bay of Bengal in the east and the Arabian Sea in the west, with a coastline of 5,560 kilometers.

According to information released by the National Bureau of Statistics, by the end of 2019, China's total population Chinese mainland had just exceeded 1.4 billion, or about 140005 million, an increase of 4.67 million from the end of the previous year. Among them, the urban permanent population is 848.43 million, and the rural permanent population is 551.62 million, and the proportion of urban population in the total population (urbanization rate) is.

From the perspective of gender structure, by the end of 2019, the total male population in China was about 715.27 million, accounting for about 100 percent; The total female population is about 684.78 million, accounting for the total. Nansheng noted that in recent years, China's new population has averaged only a few million, and by 2019 it was less than 5 million, which shows that the effect of the current two-child policy is significantly fading.

The population gap between China and India has narrowed dramatically.

According to the information of the "Population Clock", as of early February 2020, the total population of India has exceeded 100 million, close to 100 million. Among them, India's male population is about 100 million (which has surpassed the male population of China), accounting for the total population; The female population is close to 100 million, accounting for about 100 million of the total population.

Nansheng noted that in 2018, India's population was only 100 million, and in just over a year, the population increased by about 36 million. The total population of Chinese mainland in 2018 was about 100 million, about 42 million more than the population of India (100 million) in the same period. But now, the gap between the two countries' populations has narrowed to more than 10 million.

Based on this calculation, is it possible that India's population will surpass that of China in just one year, that is, in 2020? Of course, we did not add the population of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and if we add the time for the Indian population to catch up, it may be delayed for another year or two, but the overall "trend of catching up" has not changed.

The quality of India's population still needs to be improved.

In one or two years, India's population will eventually surpass China and become the world's most populous country, but the overall "quality" of India's population still needs to be improved compared with the Chinese population. The first is the low level of education of the Indian population, especially the female population. According to the official website of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), India's high school graduation rate for girls is only 33%, the lowest among major countries in the world.

Second, India needs to tackle hunger. Data show that in recent years, India's grain production has been less than 300 million tons, while China's grain production has exceeded 600 million tons for decades - which means that India's per capita grain is less than half of that of Chinese.

According to the United Nations World Food Programme, about 100 million people in India are undernourished, accounting for 27% of the world's hungry people, the highest in the world. Forty-three per cent of children under the age of five in India are underweight, the highest in the world.

Third, population longevity. According to WHO, life expectancy in India is among the lowest in the world. The average life expectancy in China has exceeded 77 years, which is significantly ahead of India.

It seems that India's population has surpassed our China's, India's population has increased by 36 million a year, and we have only had more than 10 million in two years, plus only 5 million people in a dead year! Of course, we did not add the population of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan
