The world's population is expected to reach 8 billion by November 15, with over a third from China and India.

The claim about the world's population reaching 8 billion by November 15 is outdated; evidence confirms it occurred earlier in 2022. Regarding the proportion of the world’s population from China and India, the evidence supports the claim: combined, they account for more than a third of the global population.
