The first graph shows population growth rates in China, India and the United States of America from the year 1950 to 2005 and projected to 2050. And the second graph figured out urban versus rural growth rates in China and India within the same period of time with projection up to the year 2030.
At the first glance, until 2005, China's population growth seems to be faster than both of the two other countries. Whereas, USA showed very slow steady increase in it's population comparatively.
In 1950 China's population stood approximately at 500 millions, and shows a significant increase until 2005 and it is expected to continue showing almost the same rate until 2020. At this point of time it could be levelled off at less than 1500 million until 2030. Interestingly, population growth in India will perhaps exceeds that of china.
Regarding uranization, in 1950 almost all the 500 million chinese were living in rural areas as only less tha 100 million were living in towns and cities. This rural figure was also applicable to rural India.However there was somehow a steady growth of rural population in China until it reached the peak of about 850 millions in 1995. Since 1995 there was a dramatic decline in the rural population growth in China, and it is expexted to plummet to 600 million in 2030.
Chia's urban population growth increased rapidly since 1980s of the last century and as expected it will contnue doing so even after 2030.
In India urban growth is increasing in a slower rythem than Ithat of China. And rural population growth in India is obviously faster than urban growth. But after 2025 number of people living in villages in india will decrease to about 800 millions in contrary to the number urban people which will raise up to 600 millions.
In conclusion, India is expected to be the larger country in the world in term of population. China will harvest the result of familly planning prorams. And its population groth will slow down, and most of its people will live in urban areas, propaply due to huge industrial revolution in china.
