World Population Analysis

China 1.4 billion and India 1.3 billion . remains in two largest countries of the world which contains 19% and 18% of the world population respectively. As per the figures available 50.4% of the world population is male and 49.6% are female.

About 26% populations of the world are under 15 years of age, 62% are 15-59 years and 12% are 60 or over. The population of group of 60 is increasing @3.26 per cent per years. The number of older persons are going to increase 2.10 billion in 2.50.

Though world population is growing slowly than in the recent past, yet as per estimates, it will reach 8.5 billions in 2030, and to increase further 9.7 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100.. There is an 80 per cent probability that the population

98 crore in 110 year with a growth rate of 407%. If the trend of increase in population will remain the same, the day is not far away when our all resources like wheat, sugar, vegetables, etc. will not be sufficient to distribute among the people. It is the time to control the population of India and to adopt the strict measures with the consent of Political as well as spiritual leaders

Tables 1 to III show the statistics which are used for analysis.

It shows that during 1901 to 1951, the population grew at 12.27 crore in 50 years with 51.46 per cent growth rate. The decadal growth is 5.75% in 1911, 0.31 in 1921, 11% in 1931, 14.22% in 1941 and 13.31% in 1951. This period may be termed as idle growth. During 1961 to 2011 (the next 50 years), the population increased by 77.10 crore with 181.39% growth rate which is on very higher side. It was surprising that decadal growth of population increased from 13.31% in 1951 to 21.64% in 1961, 24.80% in 1971, 24.66% in 1981, 23.87% in 1991, 21.54% in 2001 and 17.64% in 2011. Thus, a trend of population explosion started after 1951.

Almost all States and Union Territories also show the same trend in increase of population after 1951. It is observed that consolidated annual growth rate of population in 2011 is 1.76%, whereas the States like Jammu and Kashmir, NCRT, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Daman & Diu, Dadar Nagar Haveli, Pondicherry and Andaman & Nicobar Islands registered a growth rate of more than 2% which is on very higher side, though in some States migration from Bangladesh may be the factor. India needs to launch an overall population awareness programme
