According to the Sample Registration System (SRS), the 2021 report released by the 2021 report (RGI) released on May 7, the country’s total fertility rate (TFR) remained constant in 2021 in 2021, the same as in 2020.
Bihar reported the highest TFR of 3.0, while Delhi and West Bengal reported the lowest TFR of 1.4.
The report said that during the same period, “the share of the population in the age group of the age group gradually declined, from 41.2% in 1971 to 24.8% in 2021. “The proportion of the economically active population increased from 53.4% between the ages of 15 and 59 to 66.2% in the same period. ”
During the same period, the elderly population over the age group has increased from the age group over the age group over the age group, and the age group over the age group over the age group has increased to 9%.
Elderly
Kerala has the highest percentage of the population in age, with over 60 years of age, accounting for the highest proportion of the total population in this category. Tamil Nadu is 12.9% and Himachal Pradesh is 12.3% among the two states with the highest percentage of elderly population, the report said. On the other hand, Bihar has a minimum percentage of population of 60 years and above, 7.1% in Assam and 7.1% in Delhi.
The average age for effective marriage for women has increased from 19.3 years in 1990 to 22.5 years in 2021.
Since the census is usually calculated every 10 years, the SRS is the largest population survey in the country, which has been appointed as an estimate of annual fertility and death indicators at the state and national levels. The survey was conducted in 8,842 sample units in all states and covers approximately 8.4 million sample populations.
In the 2024 interim budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a council of major powers to consider the challenges posed by “rapid population growth and population change.” Although the commission has not been established, the announcement shows that the country’s population growth has been “rapid”, but the SRS data is the opposite. After the census, a comprehensive pattern will emerge, which will be decided since 2021 and will be conducted last time in 2011.
“It is worth noting that the alternative level of TFR, i.e. 2.1, was obtained at the national level, Delhi 1.4, West Bengal 1.4, Tamil Nadu 1.5, Andhra Pradesh 1.5, Jamu and Kashmir 1.5, California and Kashmir 1.5, Kerala 1.5, Kerala 1.5, Maharashtra 1.5, punjab 1.5, punjab 1.5 1.6, Odisha 1.8, Uttarakhand 1.8, Gujarat 2.0, Haryana 2.0 and Assam 2.1.”
