Re: Demography in India

Demography can be defined as the general science of studying human population. It is the statistics of the population that is subjected to spatio-temporal change in accordance with aging, birth, death, migration etc.

The demography of any place helps to gather information about the population, religion, language and ethnicity of that place.

India is the second most populous country in the world, with over 1.285 billion people (2016), more than a sixth of the world's population.

Already containing 17.5% of the world's population, India is projected to be the world's most populous country by 2022, surpassing China, its population reaching 1.6 billion by 2050.

Its population growth rate is 1.2%, ranking 94th in the world in 2013. The Indian population had reached the billion mark by 1998.

India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65% below the age of 35.

It is expected that, in 2020, the average age of an Indian will be 29 years, compared to 37 for China and 48 for Japan; and, by 2030, India's dependency ratio should be just over 0.4.
