Indian fertility now below replacement

[sinophilia]

So much for that demographic dividend. India overall is now at TFR = 2.1 children per woman and declining.

Fertility rate down in most states, NFHS-5 finds

The total fertility rate (TFR) across most Indian states declined in the past half-a-decade, more so among urban women, according to the latest National Family

Excellent, goes to show hard work done by people on ground.



Its important for a country like India to keep a check on population.

The idiot author is worried about reduction in population, as if its a bad thing.
Our population density is 35 % more than that of Pakistan. We need just around 500 m people, not more than that.

India should shoot for 50 million people so that foreign aid can be more easily divided amongst them

I think that all over the world the birth rate is falling. The improvement in medical facilities mean that population growth will continue meaning a skewing of the demography in favour of an older population. After that, there will be a population 'crash'.

 

[Gangetic]

It's surprising how quickly it crashed. India is nowhere near China level of industrialisation yet already below replacement level.

I want India to bear no males for the next twenty years. Many of the current males are not really desirable elements so maybe these particular males can be sent to some disciplining place to become civilized.
