India’s population is set to overtake China’s by 2022

[AndrewJin]

In 15 years, for good or bad, many of China's factories will be operated by autonomous machineries and robots supervised/controlled by highly skilled workers.

And it is already started happening today:

Chinese factory replaces 90% of humans with robots, production soars
China’s Hunger for Robots Marks Significant Shift - WSJ


China's Factories Are Building a Robot Nation
China's Factories Are Building a Robot Nation -

however, 58% of the robots used in China are still produced by other nations


but China robotic industry is catching up fast


With Artificial Intelligent and Robotics evolving so fast, in the next few decades, most of the repetitive jobs and factory works will be replaced by them.

I am afraid it's going to fast and low skilled labour is on the verge of losing jobs. We must accelerate job creation in tertiary sector. From my traveling experience last week, tourism is very promising. Tourism infra cannot meet our need, more workforce should get involved.

lack of tourism infra, too many tourists, but bright future
China's poorest province, Guizhou

More people especially low-skilled workers should be financially encouraged to enter tertiary sector, for instance by setting up small business with governmental loan. We cannot see them losing jobs during the ongoing industrial revolution which will make millions of people from developing countries jobless.

i watched a documentary the other day about asian rivers and it said india will run out of fresh water in 2020. if thats true i dont think india can support its growing population without enough water.

china also has a huge water problem but the government is actively trying to solve it. china is the origin of all major asian rivers, also luckily china has enough money to throw around finding ways to solve it.

Funny to say India to run out of fresh water,you know Cherrapungee and Pasighat?Perhaps some images of Rajastan or somewhere west of Delhi make you feel India a desert nation.China is the origin of all major Asian rivers except Ganga or you may not consider India a Asian country typical.

Impossible, China now is releasing outdated policy. Birth rate will rise in coming years.

FYI, birth control in China is already unofficially lifted this year.

 

[21stCentury]

One Child policy will be put to an end this year，but it's probably the best thing happened to China.

Without it, China would not rise.

Is this true?

Is this true?

According to me it is.

I was not trolling that Indian guy if that‘s what you meant..

actually I am more worried about job creation which is too slow, a lot of unskilled workers are losing jobs when automatic factories need less workforce.

Service industry is the solution, nowadays China's service industry is still very backward.

One Child Policy will be gone by the end of the year, China should encourage families to have 2-3 children provide incentives and other benefits that will tackle the aging population,shrinking labor and gender imbalance.

Russia has managed to create a short population boom, China could replicate it.

I hope this serves as wake up call for India.

I don't think Indians or Indian government were in any illusion so far, to need a wake up call. In fact, Indian government has been working to get its population in check from the time, I can't even remember!

The problem with a democratic setup is that the Government here can't enforce one-child policy anytime it sees fit.

Our only hope is Education and women-empowerment. But unfortunately, such measures ultimately depend on individual's ability make a better judgement and also take a long time to fructify.

And the vehement opposition by certain Religulous groups to anything that restricts birth, doesn't help either!
