The report, titled "Interwoven Lives, Threads of Hope: Ending Inequalities in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights," projects that the population could double within the next 77 years.
With the current figures, India surpasses China's population of 142.5 crore, positioning itself as the most populous nation. Since the 2011 census, which recorded India's population at 121 crore, there has been a considerable increase.
The demographic breakdown shows that 17 per cent of the population falls within the 10-19 age bracket, while those aged 10-24 represent 26 per cent. The majority, 68 per cent, are between 15-64 years old, and 7 per cent are 65 years or older. Life expectancy stands at 71 years for men and 74 years for women.
The UNFPA report underscores that three decades of advancements in sexual and reproductive health have largely bypassed the world's most marginalised groups.
