According to these UN estimates, China has clearly got its population growth under control. In both the medium and the low UN projection variants China's population will actually begin to decline before the year 2050. India, on the other hand, is expected to experience significant population increase for some time to come. Sadly, the only significant factor that seems to slow down India's population growth is the HIV/AIDS epidemic. According to these UN projections, India's population would almost double without HIV/AIDS. |
