Falling fertility rates, migration movements, and China’s population decline.

We can’t understand the world without understanding demographic change.

How many people are alive today? How many are born; how many die? What do we expect populations to look like in the future?

The United Nations updates its big dataset — the World Population Prospects — every two years to answer these questions. It just released its latest edition today.

We’ve updated all of our population-related datasets and charts with this new release. You can explore all the trends for every country in our Population and Demography Data Explorer.

In this article, we wanted to provide key insights from this latest wave of data.

India Rising!

China’s population may have already peaked

USA better better educate the population and get a grip on immigration!

China is already selecting top African talent into graduate STEM programs while building, and owning, infrastructure on the continent.

When I looked at this subject previously it seemed clear that there was falling birth rates and fertility rates.
Now we also have excess deaths in many countries since the roll out of the ‘vaccines’ and seemingly harms to fertility due to the same cause.
So I suspect we are already past peak population.

If China has peaked, India is also on the brink of it. I highly doubt if India can go a long way with the rise in demographics!

I don't know how to put it. The world views Indian demographic situation in an enthusiastic and much positive sign.

What I can see is that it's impacting India negatively. The main cause is lack of resources for such a huge population. China has almost the same demographics as India but their resources are so much more than India!
