Which are the main factors responsible for population explosion in India? |
|
Answer» The two main factors responsible for population explosion in India are high birth rate and the considerably low death rate in comparison. The standard of living has improved and so the average life span which was about 40-41 years in 1920 has increased to 63 – 64 years. However, birth rate has not decreased noticeably. The factors responsible for increase in birth rate are: illiteracy, superstitions, orthodox thinking, social customs wherein a male child is considered important, child marriage, poverty, widow re-marriage, negative attitude towards the idea of a small family, etc. Nutritious food is easily available, communicable diseases are under control due to advanced medical treatment and vaccination programmes. Pre-and-post-disaster management has improved and affected people are rehabilitated faster. So death rate has decreased whereas! population growth rate has increased. |
