india

in 2025, 23.1 million children were born in india, ranking 1st in the world in terms of birth numbers. in second place is china (8.7 million), nearly 3 times fewer. one out of every 6 children born in the world is from india. this figure, by the way, is the statistics for children born within india's borders; the indian diaspora abroad is quite crowded too, so a high number will be coming from there as well. over in their cousins' pakistan, 6.9 million children were born in a year, ranking 4th in the world by number. this means that 50-60 years from now, people of indian subcontinent origin will dominate the world population, with nigeria's and china's populations being at significant numbers too, of course. those who are white caucasian are generally declining in number, their reproduction rates aren't enough to replace the population.
