| Soundwave said: India is probably 20-30 years behind China and Africa even considerably further behind that. |
India's population growth is also slowing dramatically and it has the same demographic issues China does, including an even worse male/female imbalance. They have a slightly younger population, but it won't be enough. Their population is set to decline in the near future as well, and they won't be anywhere near as wealthy as China is when it happens.
India's population decline will be the most pronounced in southern India, which is also where most of its wealth is concentrated.
