Based on data from the real-time statistics website Worldometers, the world's population had surpassed 8.08 billion people as of January 25, 2024.

India became the world's most populous country at the beginning of this year, with approximately 1.44 billion people.

China, usually at the top, has now dropped to second place with a population of 1.43 billion. This is influenced by the shrinking population of China over the past two years.

According to a Reuters report, the decline in China's population is partly due to deaths from Covid-19.

Their birth rate also reached a record low of 6.39 births per 1,000 people in 2023, down from 6.77 births per 1,000 people in 2022.

China's youth unemployment rate also reached a record high in 2023, and office workers' wages fell, leading many to be unwilling to take the risk of having children.

Here is a complete list of the 10 most populous countries in the world as of January 25, 2024:

1. India: 1.44 billion people
2. China: 1.43 billion people
3. United States: 341.03 million people
4. Indonesia: 278.82 million people
5. Pakistan: 243.17 million people
