Explain three main processes of change of population in India. |
|
Answer» (i) Birth Rate is the number of live births per thousand persons in a year. It is a major component growth of population. In India birth rates have always been higher than death rates. (ii) Death Rate is the number of deaths per thousand persons in a year. Rapid decline in death rate is the main cause of rapid growth in population rapidly. Since 1981 birth rate has also started declining resulting in a gradual decline in the rate of population growth. (iii) Migration is the movement of people across regions and territories. Migration can be internal or international. Internal migration does not change the size of the population within the nation. Migration plays a very significant role in changing the composition and distribution of population. |
