In the first chart we can see the tendencies that the population of China, India and the US had been presenting over the years since 1950 until today, and the projection that this countries would have in terms of growth over the next 50 years.
Nowadays we can see that China has had the most consistent population growth over the last 56 years, with approximately 350 millions of people in 1950 and 1,300 millions at the present time, however, the projected level of growth won´t have the same growing tendency remaining, more or less, the same population by 2050.
India, in the other hand, has a very consistent projected population growth beyond 2005, reaching levels of 1,600 million people by the year 2050, and, by this, outstanding China as the world´s most populated country. This is very important because in 1950, India only had approximately 300 million people.
In the second chart we can see that the India and China rural populations are, more or less, at the same level right now (800 million people), however, the projected tendencies of growth for the India population are considerably bigger than those for China; reaching the former by 2030, approximately 850 million people, while the later would actually present a decrease of this population with less than 600 million people by 2030.
In term of urban population, growth between this two countries, China has a much larger urban population growth projection, reaching almost 900 millions by 2030, which is approximately the number of urban population today in China, in contrast with the bit more of 300 million people that India has of urban population nowadays.
