UNITED NATIONS: The world's population is expected to reach eight billion on November 15, the UN forecast on Monday in a report that said India will surpass China as the most populous country on earth in 2023.That overall population milestone 'is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another,' Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, without citing specifics.
'This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates,' he added.The forecast by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs said the world's population is growing at its slowest pace since 1950.It should hit 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050, peaking at around 10.
