Will India’s Population grow ? UNLIKELY in my view. Let’s do some basics.
Keep this in mind
What is India’s fertility rate ?
How does it compare with other countries
How has fertility rate patterns changed in the world ?
What about states in India ? How does it vary ? THE FINANCE COMMISSION 2017 which decides how India’s Govt Tax Revenues are shared does NOT INCENTIVISE the poorer states like UP & BIHAR to reduce Fertility Rates.
Statewise fertility rates
And this hurts the finances of the other states which contribute to the Taxes in the country.
There are 13 states where population is falling
See how education & literacy impact’s fertility rates
Finally why India might not need population control by and large. However it does need it to be focused on a few states. m.timesofindia.com
