People > Population in 2015: Countries Compared

Ian Graham, Staff Editor

Author: Ian Graham, Staff Editor

It does seem a little unrealistic to expect India’s <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_pop>population</a>, which was estimated at about 1.05 billion in 2003, to grow by 850 million, or 80 percent, in 12 years. To reach 1.9 billion people by 2050 seems more likely, as it would require an average yearly growth of 18 million people, which is more in line with India’s current <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_pop_gro_rat>population growth rate</a>. <p>At any rate, given that it already had a population of nearly 1.3 billion in July 2003, China will still be first or second in population in 2015 or 2050, even though its annual growth rate is less than half of India’s at 0.6 percent.
DEFINITION: (Thousands) Medium-variant projections.

Woh! wait a minute i thought that Philippine population in 2015 is 96 840 000 but even its still 2010 Philippine population is nearly 100 000 000 inhabitants. Does this mean that population growth is 4 or 5x faster and the population apocalypes is nearly at hand and population will reach more than 14 trillion in no time?

In response to

" How can the US population drop to only 325,723? Did someone forget like three zeros on the end? "

If you actually read you will see that it says
" DEFINITION: (Thousands) Medium-variant projections "

so no they did not forget the 3 zero's. =)

I think if everyone will take a look at the source he used for his information you will see that this was retrieved from the UN.... Has anyone heard of UN Agenda 21? These projected number's are correct!

There is no way that these could be accurate. The world is clearly going to end in 2012, why else would they take the time to make a movie about it ? Like please people, stop thinking of the future, we only have three more years to live, so why not live them well ?
