Demographic Transition Theory
- “The economic growth potential that can result from shifts in a population’s age structure, mainly when the share of the working-age population (15 to 64) is larger than the non-working-age share of the population (14 and younger, and 65 and older)”.
- 0-14 = 27.5 %
- 15-59 = 64%
- 60 = 8.5%
- High Stationary – BR↑↑ & DR↑↑ - Till 1920, In India population Stationary.
- Early Expanding – BR↑↑ & DR↓ - Population Growth.
- Late Expanding – BR↓ & DR↓↓ - BR>DR, Population growth deceleration.
- Low Stationary – BR↓↓ & DR↓↓ - BR = DR, Population Stationary.
- Faf Decline – BR < DR.
