The 2025 census of India, or the 16th Indian census, is to be conducted in two phases, a house listing phase and a population enumeration phase.Although initially the house listing was to begin in April 2020 along with the updating of the National Population Register, and the population enumeration on 9 February 2021, [1] they have been continuously postponed.
Based on this, the UN projected that the world population, 8 billion as of 2023, would peak around the year 2086 at about 10.4 billion, and then start a slow decline, assuming a continuing decrease in the global average fertility rate from 2.5 births per woman during the 2015–2020 period to 1.8 by the year 2100 (the medium-variant projection).
[17] [18] In 2017 its population growth rate was 0.98%, ranking 112th in the world; in contrast, from 1972 to 1983, India's population grew by an annual rate of 2.3%. [ 19 ] In 2023, the median age of an Indian was 29.5 years, [ 20 ] compared to 39.8 for China and 49.5 for Japan; and, by 2030; India's dependency ratio will be just over 0.4. [ 21 ]
Globally, the population of 8.2 billion people is still growing, with the U.N. projecting it will reach 10.3 billion in roughly 60 years and then start to decline.
A recent US Census Bureau report projects the American population to reach a high of nearly 370 million in 2080 before beginning its historic downward turn which could spell a serious economic ...
The global decline in population should not be feared but embraced as an opportunity to rethink and reshape our economic models for greater equity and resilience. We have scant choice otherwise.
Violence and conflict with colonists were also important causes of the decline of certain Indigenous American populations since the 16th century. Population figures for the Indigenous peoples of the Americas before European colonization have been difficult to establish. Estimates have varied widely from as low as 8 million to as many as 100 ...
Under their projections, during the period 2045–2050, Europe's population will be in decline and all other regions will experience significant reductions in growth; then, by the end of the 21st century (the period 2095–2100) three of these regions will be showing population decline and global population will have peaked and started to decline.
