Countries and cultures - Countries and capitals - Population by country
Which country currently has the largest population in the world?
Correct!
India is currently the world's most populous country. It has overtaken China and has more than 1.4 billion inhabitants. China remains close behind. More than one third of the world's population lives in India and China together. Because population figures change continuously, this question should be reviewed regularly; the World Bank data used here list India ahead of China for 2025.
