[quote=BALDEAGLE ,22578]China will lose to India from the year 2036. (26 years from today) This is because China has a declining birth rate whereas India's birth rate has remain constant at 2.8 children. China's birth rate is 1.2 children in the last 20 years. Moreover, many Chinese girls have married foreigners thus reducing the population further.On current situation, it is unlikely the trend will changed in the next 20 years. As it is, young are not getting married early. And if they do, they will not want to have children. Better economic situation does not mean that young couples can support more children. They would rather live a middle-income lifestyle without children.Besides, young couples find that the combined income could not support a child and elderly dependents. In the year 2036, 1 out of every 5 chinese will be over 60 years old. Now, that is a scary thought.[/quote]
