India, the only large economy whose workforce will grow in sufficient scale over the next three decades, may partly balance the declines expected in other major economies. But, with birth rates declining there, too, current trends suggest that its population will probably stabilize at 1.55 billion in the early 2050’s, a full decade ahead of – and 170 million people below – the UN’s forecast.
印度是唯一一个劳动力可以继续充分增长30年的大型经济体，它或许可以在一定程度上平衡其他主要经济体的预期人口下降。但是，印度的出生率也在下降，当前趋势表明，印度人口将在21世纪50年代早期达到15.5亿人时稳定下来，比联合国的预测早整整十年，人口数量也要少1.7亿。
