Abstract:

China and India have the two largest populations in the world each has over a billion people. The population of China is currently larger than that of India, but with its higher population growth rate, Indias population size is projected to surpass Chinas in 2025. Chinas lower fertility rate and longer life expectancy have led to a population that is considerably older than Indias.
