Britain to be biggest country in Europe by 2050

Telegraph
"Britain will see its population swell from today's 62.2 million to 77 million, an increase of 24 per cent. ..Europe, in total, will see its population dip from 739 million to 720 million, because of its low birth rate.The world's population will increase inexorably, swelling from 6.89 billion to 9.49 billion. India will be responsible for a significant part of this increase, becoming the largest country in the world by overtaking China.The country, which hit 1 billion just a decade ago and now has a population of 1.19 billion, is expected to hit 1.75 billion, adding the equivalent of the entire population of the European Union in a mere 40 years.China's population will increase, but relatively modestly, moving from 1.34 billion to 1.48 billion."
