As per the latest reports, the world population has now reached 800 crores today. As of October 2011, the world’s population was 7 billion, and on November 15, 2022, it increased to 8 billion. The latest statistics show that the population of the earth has increased by 100 crores in just 11 years. Reported as 400 million in 1974, the world population has doubled in these 48 years. To this extent, the United Nations Population Fund has revealed.
It is known that the neighboring countries China and India are the most populous countries in the world. According to the reports, 36 percent of the world’s population resides in these two Asian countries. Currently, China’s population is 144 crores, while India’s population is 138 crores. However, the United Nations predicts that India will surpass China in terms of population by 2023.
If this turns out to be true, the world will soon face issues like food scarcity, unemployment, financial stabilization, inflation, and many others to the list.
