Main Body

The decadal growth rate of India according to the census 2011 has been 17.64 with a north-south divide clearly evident in it

Reasons for the continuation of high growth rate in northern states:

1. Positive correlation with globalization & pop's: Urbanization & development - the economic development has aimed the pop's of southern states to stabilize as larger family is a disincentive in economic growth

2. Better health & nutrition kinetics: Low IMR and MMR has also reduced the population growth

3. Better position of women: The grant of reproductive rights to women and a high sex ratio indicates that the enjoyment of women's is positively linked with population control. Assumptions about infrastructure 2.0 occur

The population growth of northern states can be stabilized by ushering the developmental projects so that it can match the aspirations of its residents without depending on increase in earning hands.
