China’s population shrank by 850,000 in 2022 compared to a year ago, according to data released by the National Statistics Bureau.

India, where half the population is under the age of 30, is set to be the world’s fastest-growing major economy in the coming years.

China, on the other hand, is currently seeing a slight contraction, which Bloomberg Economist Eric Zhu described as a “growth crushing headwind for a long time” in his Jan. “And we are seeing the early building blocks of that essentially being put in place.”

data suggests that India saw a reduction in the number of international immigrants in the country from 2010 to 2020. Now compare that natural change to the overall population change in each state. And the United States, unlike China, has multiple robust avenues to ensure that growth. If we subtract the annual number of deaths from the annual number of births, we get a metric called natural population change. So, for example, we can see that the natural population change was positive in most states from 2010 to 2020, the exceptions being Maine, Vermont and West Virginia. China and Japan each saw increases, about 200,000 in the former case and 600,000 in the latter. [showed](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/12/20/new-census-data-reinforces-how-central-immigration-is-population-growth-us/?itid=lk_inline_manual_22) how every single state saw a net population increase relative to 2010 thanks to international immigration. Thanks to data from the Census Bureau and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we can look at birth and death data over time for each U.S. Here, for example, are the annual numbers of births and deaths from 1950 to 2021 in China, India, the United States and Japan — the poster child for a nation where population decline is powered by low birthrates. (You can also see the horrifying effects of the famine that struck China in the late-1950s.) Note that the vertical scale of the charts above is specific to each country. But it also serves as a reminder of the important role that immigration plays in boosting the United States’ own population growth.

Half of its population is under the age of 30, and some 12 or so million people enter the market every year looking for jobs. The challenge for India, which is estimated to grow 7% in the year ending March, is to sustain that pace of expansion in the coming decades or end up with even higher unemployment rates. China, whose strict one-child policy until 2016 kept birth rates in check, will see its working-age population shrink over the century as people grow older and eventually make up more than 40% of its population.

But today, there is a possibility that India may have surpassed China in terms of population. The recent report from World Population Review.

A growing population is a burden on the resources of the country. This is one of the biggest reasons why there are fewer females in the workforce. This leaves the Indian government in a fix. Majority of the Indian population lives in rural areas and have more youngsters. But despite numerous efforts, the Indian government was unable to control this growing population. Being a developing country, and limited resources to nurture its citizens, this step was the need of time.
