الهند تصبح الدولة الأكثر اكتظاظاً بالسكان في العالم

By Phil Bainbridge

January 19, 2023 - من المنتظر أن تتفوق الهند على الصين في العام 2023 كأكبر دولة في العالم من حيث عدد السكان، بأكثر من 1.4 مليار نسمة. قوتها العاملة الشابة يمكن أن تدفعها لتصبح ثالث أكبر اقتصاد عالمي في العام 2028.

Even though its population growth has slowed to 1.2% since 2011, down from 1.7% in the previous decade, India’s population will pass China’s 1.4 billion sometime in 2023.

China’s demographic decline, with its decreasing and ageing population, combined with geopolitical tensions, could enable India, with its youthful, educated workforce, to supplant China as the “world’s factory”.

India’s economic growth of 5.5% over the last 10 years has already enabled it to overtake the UK as the fifth largest economy, and it is expected to pass Germany and Japan within the next 5 years according to the IMF.
