India - APES Project

India is a developing country that is part of the G20. It has a population of over 1.15 billion people that is still growing, though the growth rate has declined. Some key population indicators for India include an adolescent fertility rate of 24.3 births per 1,000 women ages 15-19, an infant mortality rate of 40 per 1,000 live births, a crude birth rate of 20.4 per 1,000 people, and a crude death rate of 6.4 per 1,000 people. The large youth population means that India's total population will continue growing significantly even as fertility rates decline. Reaching meaningful population control will be challenging given the country's current high growth rate.

INDIA
Developing country is a term generally
used to describe a nation with a low
level of material well-being (not to be
confused with third world countries).
Since no single definition of the term
developed country is recognized
internationally, the levels of
development may vary widely within
so-called developing countries, with
some developing countries having high
average standards of living.The G-20
‘s account for 60% of the world's
population, 70% of its farmers and
26% of world’s agricultural exports [

GROWTH RATE
ADOLESCENT FERTILITY RATE (BIRTHS PER 1,000 WOMEN AGES 15-19)

ADOLESCENT FERTILITY RATE IS THE NUMBER OF BIRTHS PER 1,000 WOMEN AGES
15-19.
INFANT MORTALITY RATE ( PER 1000)
CRUDE BIRTH RATE
CRUDE BIRTH RATE INDICATES THE NUMBER OF LIVE BIRTHS OCCURRING DURING THE YEAR, PER 1,000 POPULATION
ESTIMATED AT MIDYEAR. SUBTRACTING THE CRUDE DEATH RATE FROM THE CRUDE BIRTH RATE PROVIDES THE RATE OF
NATURAL INCREASE, WHICH IS EQUAL TO THE RATE OF POPULATION CHANGE IN THE ABSENCE OF MIGRATION.
DEATH RATE, CRUDE (PER 1,000 PEOPLE)

CRUDE DEATH RATE INDICATES THE NUMBER OF DEATHS OCCURRING DURING THE
YEAR, PER 1,000 POPULATION ESTIMATED AT MIDYEAR. SUBTRACTING THE CRUDE
DEATH RATE FROM THE CRUDE BIRTH RATE PROVIDES THE RATE OF NATURAL
INCREASE, WHICH IS EQUAL TO THE RATE OF POPULATION CHANGE IN THE ABSENCE
OF MIGRATION.
 Birth Rate starts to fall. Death
Rate continues to fall.
Population rising.
 Reasons:
 Family planning available
 Lower Infant Mortality Rate
 Increased mechanization
reduces need for workers
 Increased standard of living
 Changing status of women

POPULATION PROFILE HISTOGRAM


The United States: Stage 4
Birth Rate and Death Rate both low.
Population steady.

COMPARISON HISTOGRAMS
Tajikistan :Stage 2
Birth Rate remains high. Death Rate is
falling. Population begins to rise
steadily.
Reasons
Death Rate is falling as a result of:
Improved health care (e.g. Smallpox
Vaccine)
Improved Hygiene (Water for drinking
boiled)
Improved sanitation
Improved food production and storage
Improved transport for food
Decreased Infant Mortality Rates

COMPARISON HISTOGRAMS
Afghanistan :Stage 1
Birth Rate and Death rate are both high.
Population growth is slow and fluctuating.
Reasons
Birth Rate is high as a result of:
Lack of family planning
High Infant Mortality Rate: putting babies
in the 'bank'
Need for workers in agriculture
Religious beliefs
Children as economic assets
Death Rate is high because of:
High levels of disease
Famine
Lack of clean water and sanitation
Lack of health care
War
Competition for food from predators such
as rats
Lack of education

COMPARISON HISTOGRAMS
POPULATION MOMENTUM
 While India's population growth rate has been declining over the
years, the overall population will continue to grow as 51% of the
population is in the reproductive age group (15-49). Millions
more will join this cohort each year. Today 26 million babies are
born each year. At current levels, it may take several decades
more to stabilise the population. Vast numbers of people cannot
avail of services even when they are available, due to problems
of knowledge and access. The involvement of educated people is
vitally necessary to create a public awakening, particularly from
among those who are influential in their own spheres and possess
the capacity to make a difference.
Although India has created several impressive goals to reduce its population growth rates, the
India and the rest of the world has a long way to go to achieve meaningful population controls
in this country with a growth rate of 1.6%, representing a doubling time of under 44 years.

DOUBLING TIME
GDP per capita is gross domestic
product divided by midyear
population. GDP is the sum of gross
value added by all resident producers
in the economy plus any product taxes
and minus any subsidies not included
in the value of the products. It is
calculated without making deductions
for depreciation of fabricated assets or
for depletion and degradation of
natural resources. Data are in current
U.S. dollars.

PRESENT POPULATION & PROBLEMS
 Population, total (1,155,347,678 200)

 India is expected to have a population of more than 1.53 billion while China's population is
forecast to be at its peak of 1.46 billion in 2040. In 2000, the country established a new
National Population Policy to stem the growth of the country’s population. One of the
primary goals of the policy was to reduce the total fertility rate to 2.1 by 2010. One of the
steps along the path toward the goal in 2010 was a total fertility rate of 2.6 by 2002.
 As the total fertility rate in India remains at the high number of 2.8, that goal was not
achieved so it is highly unlikely that the total fertility rate will be 2.1 by 2010. Thus,
India’s population will continue to grow at a rapid rate. The U.S. Census Bureau does
predict a near-replacement total fertility rate of 2.2 to be achieved in India in the year 2050.
 India's high population growth results in increasingly impoverished and sub-standard
conditions for growing segments of the Indian population. As of 2007, India ranked 126th
on the United Nations' Human Development Index, which takes into account social, health,
and educational conditions in a country.
This is the population expectancies following
these possible two scenarios:
Scenario A, with a final TFR of 2.1 for higher
fertility states, results in a
population that does, in fact, reach two billion,
a milestone that would occur in 2066-
2071. By the end of the projection period, in
2101, four states, today’s Bihar, Madhya
Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh would
account for almost half of the country’s
population. Scenario B, with a final TFR of
1.85, does not reach two billion. Under
Scenario B, growth peaks in 2081-2086, after
which it begins a period of population
decrease. S

POPULATION ( BY 2035: 2.88 BILLION)


Stage 3 - Late Expanding
Birth Rate starts to fall. Death Rate
continues to fall. Population rising.
Reasons:
Family planning available
Lower Infant Mortality Rate
Increased mechanization reduces need
for workers
Increased standard of living
Changing status of women
