of healthy life annually. This Bulletin identifies high-risk groups,
geographic disparities, and the impact of infectious diseases on
global health. Special sections on diarrheal diseases, malaria,
and tuberculosis examine the scope of the problem, populations most
at risk, proven preventions, and recommended treatments.

India's Population: Reconciling Change and Tradition
By Carl Haub and O.P. Sharma
India has more people than Europe, more than Africa, and more than
the entire Western Hemisphere. India's population will exceed that
of China before 2030 to become the world's most-populous country,
a distinction it will almost certainly never lose. This Population
Bulletin presents a demographic portrait of the diverse country
of India in the early years of the 21st century and offers insight
into some of the forces driving continued growth.
