India is projected to surpass China as the worlds most populous country soon, with population growth slowing but still positive due to declining fertility rates. A youthful demographic offers economic potential, but challenges remain in providing adequate healthcare, education, and employment for its vast population.
Indias population pyramid is broad at the base, reflecting a large youth population, though fertility rates are declining. The structure shows a gradual demographic transition with longer life expectancy and a narrowing base as birth rates fall, indicating future aging and shifts in dependency ratios.
