本章讨论印度、孟加拉国和巴基斯坦人口结构变化的政治影响，特别关注世界上最大的民主国家--印度。印度、孟加拉国和巴基斯坦目前约占世界人口的23%，在整个21世纪上半叶，它们在塑造世界人口结构的发展方面发挥着关键作用。这些国家曾经是印度次大陆的一部分，几乎同时获得独立。它们的人口继续增长，尽管速度不同。预计印度将在2030年前超过中国，成为世界上人口最多的国家。孟加拉国和巴基斯坦的人口最近也在增长，但增长速度各不相同。巴基斯坦的增长速度比印度和孟加拉国都快得多。
This chapter deals with the political implications of demographic changes in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, with a special focus on the world’s largest democracy—India. With a share of around 23% of the world population today and throughout the first half of the twenty-first century, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan play a critical role in shaping developments in world demography. These countries, which were part of the erstwhile Indian subcontinent, all received independence nearly at the same time. Their populations continue to grow, albeit at different speeds. India is projected to overtake China as the country with the world’s largest population before 2030. The populations of Bangladesh and Pakistan are also growing in recent times but at varied pace. Pakistan has been registering much faster growth than both India and Bangladesh.
