The greater number of men is possibly due to the significant sex imbalances evident in the Indian and Chinese populations.
Hi, I believe that this statement is misleading. Almost all the countries with a young population and not affected by war, have a sex ratio above or at 1.01. More male children are born, but life expectancy is higher for women in almost all the countries. Stating that the sex ratio is the effect of Indian and Chinese populations is a nice political point to make, buy its misleading without the context of population age. We also have the biological (and more controversial) issues, including the age of the father, a number of children born per women etc. Notice that I am not saying that the "significant sex imbalance" referenced are not true, they are. I believe that we should clarify the statement (the use of impacted by, versus "due to") or adding a clarifying note.
- Also in Pakistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh. Indonesia too. These countries have a lot of people.49.178.89.216 (talk) 16:19, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

change "will be in a state of human overpopulation" to "may be in a state of human overpopulation." Reasoning: at best, the notion of "human overpopulation" is an opinion, not a certainty. "Overpopulation" is a constant theme of human history, from the great flood of Gilgamesh to the concerns of Malthus and beyond, but, so far, population has far exceeded all the "limits" previous generations have supposed, without the predicted shortage fo natural resources, especially, food, potable water, and land. We cannot therefore conclude with any certainty that we are near an upper limit for population, and the use of "will" in the article presumes otherwise. 2603:8080:1440:356:E52E:1B64:5CCB:63B6 (talk) 20:09, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

The fake
Why on the map of "Population in 2020" Poland is gray, with a population below 2.5 Crore, and Portugal is violet with population above 2,5 Crore ??? It's an error, it should be otherwise: Poland - violet (3,8 Crore), Porugal - gray (1,3 Crore). It is unacceptable.
- Please try a slightly more constructive tone here. Why would it be fake; it may be a trivial mistake.
- Anyway, I removed the map; there is a nicer one showing population in 2019, and we don't need both. Of course, a newer map is as such better, but so is a correct one, and in the English wikipedia, large numbers should not be given in crores.--Nø (talk) 16:35, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
