There is no need to worry about India's population surpassing China. Experts say that India's labor force participation rate is only 51%, far lower than China's. On June 16th, Zhai Zhenwu, President of the China Population Association, compared the population situation of India, the world's largest and second most populous country, with China. He proposed that due to the significantly lower labor force participation rate of the working age population in India compared to China, the labor force size will not exceed China in the first half of the 21st century, and China can continue to maintain its position as the world's largest labor force country with a higher labor force participation rate.

The labor participation rate in India is very low, and a large population of working age does not necessarily mean a large labor force. In 2021, the working age population of China and India were 986 million and 950 million respectively, with a difference of only 3%
