Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
India 'to overtake China's population by
2022' – UN
It was in 2011 when the world population
reached the seven-billion mark. According to the latest projection by a new UN
study, the current population of 7.3 billion will increase by a little over 30%
to 9.7 billion by the middle of the century. And the top three of the current population
list, China, India and the U.S. will be replaced by India, China and Nigeria.
Where the rest of the growth will be generated? The population of 28 African
countries is predicted to double.
It seems that every half century or so, the
activities and traffic growth seem to change, the Atlantic in the early 20th
century, the Pacific in the latter, and now the Indian Ocean for the next fifty
years or so.
The biggest challenges for such drastic
population increase especially in underdeveloped regions seem to be food and
nutrition, public health awareness and measures and education.
Enjoy reading and finding where and how
fast the world population is going to increase for the next decades.
