Book Synopsis India's Population in Transition by : Leela Visaria
Download or read book India's Population in Transition written by Leela Visaria and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is in the midst of a demographic transition to lower fertility and mortality, which is occurring at the same time that the country's economy is industrializing and international trade flourishing. India's population (931 million in 1995) was growing at more than 2 percent annually for the past three decades, despite declines in fertility. In the early 1990s, India's growth rate finally slipped below 2 as fertility declines caught up with the welcome declines in mortality.
Book Synopsis The Demographic Dividend by : Mr.Shekhar Aiyar
Download or read book The Demographic Dividend written by Mr.Shekhar Aiyar and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large cohorts of young adults are poised to add to the working-age population of developing economies. Despite much interest in the consequent growth dividend, the size and circumstances of the potential gains remain under-explored. This study makes progress by focusing on India, which will be the largest individual contributor to the global demographic transition ahead. It exploits the variation in the age structure of the population across Indian states to identify the demographic dividend. The main finding is that there is a large and significant growth impact of both the level and growth rate of the working age ratio. This result is robust to a variety of empirical strategies, including a correction for inter-state migration. The results imply that a substantial fraction of the growth acceleration that India has experienced since the 1980s - sometimes ascribed exclusively to economic reforms - is attributable to changes in the country’s age structure. Moreover, the demographic dividend could add about 2 percentage points per annum to India’s per capita GDP growth over the next two decades. With the future expansion of the working age ratio concentrated in some of India’s poorest states, income convergence may well speed up, a theme likely to recur on the global stage.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Demographic Transformations in China, India and Indonesia by : Christophe Z. Guilmoto
Download or read book Contemporary Demographic Transformations in China, India and Indonesia written by Christophe Z. Guilmoto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-12 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the profound demographic transformation affecting China, India, and Indonesia, where 40% of the world's people live. It offers a systematic, comparative approach that will help readers to better understand the changing social and regional recomposition of the population in these regions. The chapters present a detailed investigation and mapping of regional trends in mortality, fertility, migration and urbanization, education, and aging. Throughout, the analysis carefully considers how these trends affect economic and social development. Coverage also raises global, theoretical questions about the singular ways in which each of these three countries have achieved their demographic transition. As the authors reveal, demographic trends seem to be somewhat linear and anticipatable, providing Asia’s three demographic giants and their governments a formidable advantage in planning for the future. But the evolution of human mobility in China, India, and Indonesia, closely intertwined as it is with changing economic conditions, appears less predictable and ranks high among the major challenges to demographic knowledge in the coming decades. Offering an insightful look into the components, implications, and regional variations of a changing population, this book will appeal to social scientists, demographers, anthropologists, sociologists, epidemiologists, and specialists in Asian studies.
Book Synopsis Realising the Demographic Dividend by : Santosh Mehrotra
Download or read book Realising the Demographic Dividend written by Santosh Mehrotra and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses policies to achieve inclusive growth in India and realise the demographic dividend, which will end by 2040 when India will become an aging society. India is the world's fastest growing large economy, but jobs are not growing equally rapidly. The size of India's youth workforce is worrying, and the largely informal workforce is not covered by social insurance. Universal elementary education, despite the Right to Education Act 2009, is yet to be achieved. Health outcomes have improved only slowly over the years. Furthermore, sanitation still remains a very serious problem. As an economist and former policy-maker, the author discusses specific policies to address these problems, well beyond what is currently being practised. The book also deals with the governance issues that need to be addressed before inclusive growth can be attained.

Book Synopsis Harnessing India’s Demographic and Gender Dividend by : Oommen C. Kurian
Download or read book Harnessing India’s Demographic and Gender Dividend written by Oommen C. Kurian and published by Observer Research Foundation and UNFPA India. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India, with its rich mix of cultures, traditions, and history, is currently the world’s most populous nation and is home to over 1.4 billion people. Such vast demographic might easily be perceived as a daunting challenge, particularly in challenges like resource allocation, job creation, and infrastructural development. Yet, beneath the massive challenge is a treasure trove of opportunities. The gender dividend, achievable through targeted empowerment of women and girls, can contribute to sustainable development. Women, constituting almost half of the nation’s population, possess a myriad of skills, perspectives, and values. Empirical studies have consistently shown that societies which prioritise women’s education and health and promote their economic and political participation tend to be more prosperous and just. The journey to harness this demographic and gender dividend is fraught with complexities. Socio-cultural norms, economic disparities, and the historical context play pivotal roles in shaping the narrative. On 28 August 2023, ORF organised a closed-door roundtable titled Harnessing India’s Demographic and Gender Dividend, in partnership with the Economic Advisory Council to the PM and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), to emphasise the imperative to bridge research and policy gaps. The global implications of India’s choices, especially at this juncture, cannot be overstated; as a nation, the decisions we make now will resonate within our borders and create ripple effects beyond.
Book Synopsis Africa's Demographic Transition by : David Canning
Download or read book Africa's Demographic Transition written by David Canning and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa is poised on the edge of a potential takeoff to sustained economic growth. This takeoff can be abetted by a demographic dividend from the changes in population age structure. Declines in child mortality, followed by declines in fertility, produce a 'bulge' generation and a large number of working age people, giving a boost to the economy. In the short run lower fertility leads to lower youth dependency rates and greater female labor force participation outside the home. Smaller family sizes also mean more resources to invest in the health and education per child boosting worker productivity. In the long run increased life spans from health improvements mean that this large, high-earning cohort will also want to save for retirement, creating higher savings and investments, leading to further productivity gains. Two things are required for the demographic dividend to generate an African economic takeoff. The first is to speed up the fertility decline that is currently slow or stalled in many countries. The second is economic policies that take advantage of the opportunity offered by demography. While demographic change can produce more, and high quality, workers, this potential workforce needs to be productively employed if Africa is to reap the dividend. However, once underway, the relationship between demographic change and human development works in both directions, creating a virtuous cycle that can accelerate fertility decline, social development, and economic growth. Empirical evidence points to three key factors for speeding the fertility transition: child health, female education, and women's empowerment, particularly through access to family planning. Harnessing the dividend requires job creation for the large youth cohorts entering working age, and encouraging foreign investment until domestic savings and investment increase. The appropriate mix of policies in each country depends on their stage of the demographic transition.

The coverage is quite exhaustive.... Those concerned with policies and programmes will find the book very useful." --Economic and Political Weekly "Starting with interesting anecdotes of population concerns in the preindependence era, K. Srinivasan has tried to make an otherwise terse subject fairly readable, even for those with just a passing interest in demography. He must be given credit for this. . . . The volume scores in presentation of useful data and analysis of India's experience in population control." --Financial Express "Dr. Srinivasan is a demographer of national and international repute who has been actively involved in the formulation of national policies and programs related to population. The book provides a detailed account of the background of the official policies and programs, their working, impact, comparative performance, and shortcomings. . . . The author deserves to be complimented for bringing in one place history, data, methods of analysis, a comprehensive list of programs and policies, and their relative performance. . . . The focus of the volume is timely for the contemporary situation and it will be read and reread by all those who are seriously concerned with the problem. The meticulous editing and slick presentation have further contributed to the book's status. . . . A book worth perusal by population scientists, policymakers, and administrators." --Deccan Herald "A well researched text covering India's family planning programme comprehensively.... An excellent text which should be read by students of population studies and other related disciplines. Faculty and staff working in the Population Research Centres will find it useful as a reference volume." --Social Change Regulating Reproduction in India's Population explores the efforts that have gone into India's family planning program, the results that have been achieved both at the state and national levels, and the implications of successful experiences that might help make the program more effective. Three case studies are presented from Goa, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu to illustrate how these states have successfully achieved the transition to low levels of fertility. The author provides a balanced view of the effects of modernization and female literacy on family planning, and makes policy recommendations that might be crucial at this stage of India's demographic transition. His conclusions are based on data collected from censuses and surveys carried out in different parts of the country. This volume also analyzes in detail the levels, trends, and differentials in fertility and contraceptive use, using statistical methods that are easy to understand and explained along sociological principles. With one sixth of the world's population living in India, what happens in the context of India's population growth will strongly influence the global scene as well. A must for researchers and policymakers keen to see fertility in India drop to levels consistent with contemporary populations.
