it's time for today explain where we break down some
of the biggest stories in the news, how we
got here and where we go next Move over China
. According to U. N. projections. India
is expected to become the country with the largest population
this year. That has enormous implications for the global
economy and spheres of influence. First the numbers India
has 1.41 billion people. China has 1.42 billion people
. But India's population is growing while China's is declining
. China is expected to have 100 million fewer people
by 2050. Nearly half of all indians are under
25 years old. And china. On the other
hand, only a quarter of the population is as
young. This is key because in simplistic terms the
more people taking part in the country's workforce, the
greater its economic vibrancy and the more attractive it looks
too investors. Already we see some major U.
S. Companies exploring switching their manufacturing activity to India
. From china. India's economy is the fifth largest
in the world. It took over that spot from
the U. K. And with its extraordinary economic
growth, it's also gaining more political power on the
world stage. And that's gonna be very significant as
the world seeks to find solutions to some of our
most pressing problems like gender equity inequality, climate change
and creating educational and economic systems where talent can be
identified and rewarded
