Some pretty phenomenal demographic changes have been taking place ... if the trends continue, some major transitions will take place. India will overtake China as the world's most populous country. The population density of India will be a staggering 544 persons per square mile. Japan's population will decline. Pakistan's and Nigeria's populations will increase literally by an order of magnitude. Its time to put the thinking caps on and figure out what all this REALLY means. We will be continuuing to explore these trends and issues in these pages. some of the raw data based on the IDB is included.
