TL;DR Summary

India is set to overtake China as the world's most populous country by the end of April, according to the United Nations. India's population is expected to reach 1.4 billion people, while China's population has been shrinking due to a declining birth rate. The UN predicts that India's population will continue to grow for several decades, but fertility rates are dropping. The global population crossed 8 billion in November, but growth is now at its slowest rate since 1950.
