About this listen

 In this episode, we explore the significant demographic shifts occurring in India as it approaches a projected population of 1.46 billion by 2025. We discuss the notable decline in fertility rates, now at 1.9 births per woman, driven by socio-economic changes and increased reproductive choices, which is leading to a phase of stabilization in population growth. However, disparities between urban and rural areas persist, with regions like Delhi seeing lower birth rates compared to states like Bihar. We examine the implications of these changes, including a potential "demographic dividend" and the challenges of an aging population, regional inequalities, and the pressing need for improved reproductive health and education services. Tune in for an insightful conversation about how India's evolving demographic landscape will influence its future. Visit PodSights.ai to create your own podcast on any topic.
