The likelihood of being born Indian or Chinese can be estimated using global population proportions. Here's a breakdown based on the most recent population data (2024–2025):
Global Population (2024–2025 estimate):
- Total: ~8.1 billion people
China
- Population: ~1.41 billion
- Percentage of global population: ~17.4%
India
- Population: ~1.43 billion
- Percentage of global population: ~17.7%
Probability of Being Born Indian or Chinese
- Combined probability:
1.43B (India) + 1.41B (China) = 2.84B
2.84B / 8.1B ≈ 35.1%
So, there’s roughly a 1 in 3 chance (35.1%) that a person born today is either Indian or Chinese.
Individually:
- Indian: ~17.7% chance
- Chinese: ~17.4% chance
