India's Population Grows to 1.4 Billion

India's population has grown by 1.56% in the past year, with a population estimated at 1,428,600,000 million. More than two-thirds of the population comprises people between the ages of 15 and 64, which is the working population of a country. The latest report also shows that India's total fertility rate is estimated at 2.0. The report emphasizes the need to rethink how population numbers are framed, urging politicians and the media to abandon overblown narratives about population booms and busts. The report calls for radical thinking of how we talk about and plan for population change.
