Dr Suresh Kumar of LNJP Hospital reacted to India surpassing China to become the world’s most populous nation. He said that with the vast population of India there will be a burden on resources and employment will be a huge issue. While speaking to ANI, Dr Suresh Kumar said, “Officially we are number one. Our population is more than that of China. 68% of India’s population is in the age group of 15-65 years. This means India is a young country and we have huge talent. India is growing holistically not only population-wise but in other areas also. But there are lots of challenges, with a vast population there will be a burden on the resources and employment will be a huge issue.” Notably, India has surpassed China to become the world’s most populous nation with 142.86 Crore people. According to UNFPA’s the State of World Population Report, 2023, India’s population has reached 1,428.6 million while China stands at 1,425.7 million, a difference of 2.9 million.
