Population is a global problem
Today population has become a global problem. Not only India, many countries around the world are troubled by the increasing population. Population control is a global issue and many countries are also trying to work seriously on it. Let us tell you that India has become the country with the highest population in the world. The population of the country is more than 142.86 crores, while China is now at number two.
at what rate is the population growing
According to some media reports, the global population has officially reached eight billion people in November 2022. However, this was not the situation on Earth from the beginning.

What will be the population in 2050?
Population is increasing very fast all over the world. According to reports, by the year 2050, Nigeria will become the third most populous country in the world after India and China. After which the United States, Pakistan, Indonesia, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia and Bangladesh will be ranked respectively.

After this, the population of China will reach 1.31 billion and the population of Nigeria will reach 377 million. However, many countries are working to stop the growing population.
Millions of people are born in a day
According to reports, around 134 million babies were born worldwide in 2022. That is, an average of 367,000 newborns were born every day.
