India has overtaken China as the world’s most populous country, according to UN population estimates, the most significant shift in global demographics since records began.

 

According to the UN’s projections, which are calculated through a variety of factors including census data and birth and death rates, India now has a population of 1,425,775,850, surpassing China for the first time.

 

It is also the first time since 1950, when the UN first began keeping global population records, that China has been knocked off the top spot.
