Elon Musk On India: Billionaire Elon Musk has expressed concern over the projected decline in population of India and China by 2100. A picture of a graph was posted from Musk’s X handle, which shows the possible change in the population of major countries of the world. Musk has called it the biggest threat to humanity.
According to estimates, by 2100, India’s population will decline to slightly less than 1.1 billion (110 crores). This represents a shortfall of approximately Rs 400 million (40 crores). Despite currently being the most populous country in the world, this decline in India’s population can be worrying.
Estimated decline in China’s population
China’s population is also expected to decline dramatically. By 2100, China’s population may reach 731.9 million (731.9 million), which is a decrease of about 731 million. This indicates a major decline in population, which can affect the social and economic structure of the country.
Nigeria will become the second most populous country
By the end of the century, Nigeria’s population is projected to reach 790.1 million, making it the world’s second most populous country. In contrast, America will remain the world’s fourth largest country, while Indonesia and Pakistan will see a slight decline in population.
Factors of population decline
There are several major reasons for population decline:
- Reduction in Fertility Rate: A decrease in fertility rate is being seen in developed countries, which is the main reason for population decline.
- Migration: People are migrating from one country to another in search of better opportunities, which is causing population imbalance.
- Aging population: In many countries, the lack of youth population and the increasing number of elderly people are accelerating population decline.
expert opinion
According to a 2020 study by academics at the University of Washington, population decline may be faster than previously thought, especially in China and India. This decline could bring economic and social challenges at the global level.
