In 2023, this nation overtook China to become the world's most populous country, with a strikingly young median age near 28.
India overtook China as most populous in 2023, standing out for a notably young population with median age around 28. This youthful structure gives India a potential 'demographic dividend,' since a large share is entering working years, which can drive growth if enough jobs and infrastructure exist to employ that workforce.
Indonesia has a large, youthful population too but didn't overtake China. Nigeria's population is growing and young but remains far smaller in total than India's or China's, so neither matches.
China's situation contrasts sharply: its population has begun aging and shrinking, raising long-term questions about its future labor force and supporting a growing elderly population with fewer working-age people.
