Summary: According the United States Census Bureau, by the year 2025 India will surpass China and be the most populated country in the world. China's fertility rate is declining due to recent government envlovment. Since 1990 China's overall population growth rate has slowed .5 percent annually.
Response: The fact that the government in China is promoting one child per family is huge. The Chinese people will be rewarded free medical, free school tuition for their child, plus other things if they obey this plan and only have one child. India is a very poor country, and the people there aren't as fortunate to have this option. It doesn't suprise me that they are going to be more populated than China, however something needs to be done to prevent that for the sake of our planet.
