The population has increased by more than 181 million during the decade 2001-2011. The growth rate in 2011 is 17.64 per cent in comparison to 21.15 per cent in 2001. The 2001-2011 period is the first decade -- with exception of 1911-1921 -- which has actually added lesser population compared to the previous decade,
Among the states and Union territories, Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state with 199 million people and Lakshadweep the least populated at 64,429.
The combined population of UP and Maharashtra is bigger than that of the US. The highest population density is in Delhi's north-east district (37,346 per sq km) while the lowest is in Dibang Valley in Arunachal Pradesh (just one per sq km).
The Census indicated a continuing preference for male children over female children. The latest child sex ratio in is 914 female against 1,000 male--the lowest since Independence.
According to the data, literates constitute 74 per cent of the total population aged seven and above and illiterates form 26 per cent.
The literacy rate has gone up from 64.83 per cent in 2001 to 74.04 per cent in 2011 showing an increase of 9.21 per cent.
The male population has grown by 17.19 percent to reach 623.7 million (62 crore) while the female population has risen by 18.12 percent to reach 586.5 million (58 crore).
The absolute addition to India’s population during the last decade is slightly lower than the population of Brazil, the fifth most populous country in the world.
Uttar Pradesh has the largest proportion of the country's population at 16 percent, followed by Maharashtra and Bihar (nine percent each), West Bengal (eight percent) and Andhra Pradesh (seven percent).

GEOGRAPHY IGCSE: POPULATION DENSITY AND DISTRIBUTIONGeorge Dumitrache
This document discusses factors that influence population density and distribution around the world. It provides examples of areas with high and low population densities, such as Singapore being very densely populated due to its small land area, while countries in the Sahel region of Africa have sparse populations partly due to large desert areas. Environmental factors like climate, land type and resources can attract or discourage settlement, affecting population distribution patterns locally and globally.
This document provides information about the geography, climate, population, government, economy, and agriculture of Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan was originally comprised of two wings that separated in 1971. It has a population of over 170 million people, most of whom are Muslim. The main crops are wheat, rice, cotton, and sugarcane. Agriculture and fishing also play important roles in Pakistan's economy.
This document discusses the classification and distribution of economic sectors in Kerala and India. It notes that the tertiary sector, which includes services, contributes the largest share to the economy of both Kerala (66-71%) and India (68%). The primary sector, including agriculture, contributes 14-20% in Kerala and 18% in India. The secondary sector, including manufacturing, contributes 20% in Kerala and 14-18% in India. It also provides data on poverty levels, showing that Kerala has a much lower percentage of population below the poverty line than all of India.
The document discusses the "Kerala Model of Development" which promoted social development programs like land reforms, education, and healthcare leading to high social indicators but relatively low economic growth, creating a paradox. It analyzes factors like remittances from migration, economic reforms, and debates sustainability concerns like unemployment, aging population, and lack of productivity. While public action achieved much, the model is questioned for neglecting investment and growth.
This document provides demographic details about the world population and Pakistan. It defines demography and notes that the world population reached 7 billion in 2011. It then summarizes population growth trends in Pakistan, including that Pakistan has a population of over 187 million as of 2011. Several key demographic statistics about Pakistan are presented, such as population density, birth and death rates, urbanization rates, gender ratios, and literacy rates.
This document provides a summary of the pay-TV and free-to-air television market in Kerala, India in Q2 2014. It notes that Kerala has a population of 34 million people with high media literacy. Around 5 million households in Kerala subscribe to cable TV as of 2013, with 26% being digital subscribers. Major players in Kerala began voluntary digitization ahead of the government's mandate. The document also forecasts growing digitization and high-definition penetration rates in Kerala in the coming years.
There are two main ways to map population distribution: showing where individuals are located or plotting population density by area. Population density maps the relationship between population numbers and land area using a choropleth method showing people per square kilometer. However, choropleth maps have limitations as they use average densities that can conceal variations within areas and give a sudden impression of changes between neighboring units. For example, Japan's average density understates concentrations in habitable lowlands. Physical, climatic, environmental and socioeconomic factors all influence why some areas have low or high population densities.
- Pakistan has a population of 185.9 million with a growth rate of 1.6% and birth and death rates of 31/1000 and 8/1000 respectively.
- High population growth is due to early marriages, desire for sons, resistance to family planning and inconsistent government policies. Remedies include increasing the literacy rate, empowering women, and implementing population welfare programs.
- The majority of the labor force works in agriculture but migration to cities is increasing due to mechanization and lack of economic opportunities in rural areas. Unemployment remains a challenge due to high population growth and lack of skills training.
The document discusses human resources and population issues in Pakistan. It provides background on population growth rates, distribution, and causes of population explosion in Pakistan. Some key points are:
- Pakistan's population growth rate is 2.1% and it is the 6th most populous country, projected to become 4th largest by 2050.
- Factors driving high population growth include high birth rates, lack of education, early marriages, and preference for male children.
- The government needs to implement economic, social, family planning, and administrative measures to address overpopulation, such as modernizing agriculture, expanding industry, and creating rural job opportunities.
Kerala is a state located on the southern tip of India known for its coastline, beaches, backwaters, ayurvedic treatments, and diverse cultural festivals. The state has a long history and was formed in 1956, with Thiruvananthapuram as its capital. Kerala has a literacy rate of 93.91%, the highest in India, and is also known for its cuisine featuring coconut, spices, seafood, and rice. Popular tourist destinations include beaches, hill stations, and cities like Kochi which attract visitors year-round with their natural beauty, culture, and heritage sites.
The document discusses the demography and population of Pakistan. It defines population as all organisms that belong to the same species and live in the same area. Demography is defined as the study of human populations, including their size, composition, distribution, and how populations change over time through births, deaths, and migration. The population of Pakistan was reported at 163.77 million in 2009 and estimated at 179 million in 2012 according to the Population Census Organization. Rapid population growth and high fertility rates are linked to higher poverty levels.
This document discusses population growth in Pakistan over four phases from 1905 to 2040. It analyzes birth rates, death rates, and natural increase over time. Phase 1 from 1905-1935 saw high birth and death rates with low population growth. Phase 2 from 1936-1970 had high birth rates and decreasing death rates leading to high natural increase. Phase 3 from 1971-2005 saw falling birth and death rates and a decline in natural increase. Phase 4 from 2006-2040 is projected to have low birth and death rates resulting in low natural increase if rates remain stable. Reasons for historically high birth rates in Pakistan include child labor, early marriages, opposition to family planning, a strong desire for sons, illiteracy, and migration
Pakistan is located in South Asia with a population of 170 million people. It has four main provinces: Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan. Pakistan has over 132 universities and education includes both public and private systems. Cricket is the most popular sport. Pakistani cuisine varies regionally but is known for its rich, spicy flavors featuring ingredients like beef, lamb, rice and an emphasis on halal. Traditional weddings involve mehndi, barat processions and walima celebrations.
The document discusses population growth trends and policies to manage population. It describes the 5 stages of demographic transition where birth and death rates change as countries develop. Rapid population growth can strain resources and the environment, so policies aim to slow growth through birth control, limiting family size (as in China's one-child policy), and redistributing populations (as Indonesia did). Ageing populations in developed countries require policies like raising retirement ages and taxes to support more retirees relying on fewer workers. Overall population policies aim to balance resources between generations for sustainable development.
No, according to projections from the United Nations, India is not expected to overtake China's population until 2027. The document provided demographic data and projections showing that:
- As of 2020, India's population was estimated to be 1.326 billion while China's was estimated to be 1.439 billion
- India is projected to overtake China as the world's most populous nation by 2030, not 2021 as the question suggests.
So in summary, while India's population is growing rapidly and will likely surpass China in the coming years, the United Nations projections cited in the document do not indicate India will reach a higher population than China until 2027, not by 2021 as stated in the question.
Census 2011 was India's 15th census and 7th post-independence. It recorded India's population as 1,210,726,932, an increase of 181.96 million from 2001. Key findings included that 17 states grew over 20% last decade, the child population was nearly stable, and literacy rates increased nationwide with the largest gains in northeastern states. It also provided detailed data on population characteristics like gender ratios, scheduled castes and tribes, and levels of employment.
The document summarizes key findings from Canada's 2011 Census related to population growth and occupied dwellings between 2006-2011. It notes that Canada's population grew faster than the previous 5 years, and that growth has been unevenly distributed across provinces. The province of Alberta experienced the greatest growth, surpassing 4 million people for the second time. Ontario and Quebec grew due to higher fertility rates. Over 80% of Canadians now live in urban areas, with the 3 largest cities accounting for 1/3 of the population. The number of occupied dwellings grew faster than the population in 3 years: 1976, 1981, and 1986, suggesting increased household sizes in those periods.

It notes that over half of all homebuyers fall into three categories - Small Town Civics, Young Turks, and Introspectives - but only a small portion of new housing addresses their preferences. Four forces - the recession, gas prices, connectivity, and generation Y - are changing the market. Younger generations prefer walkable urban and small town living near amenities over car-dependent suburbs. Developers are starting to tap into this demand through mixed-use projects, mill redevelopment, transit-oriented development, and infill that support walkability.

Aging of the future will be different from aging of the pastRon Cheshire
1. Population aging will be different in the future compared to the past due to declining fertility rates and increasing life expectancies which are resulting in an older population profile.
2. Social programs and pension plans were established in the 1960s under different demographic conditions characterized by population growth and a younger population structure.
3. The demographic dividend from growing populations is now a thing of the past as fertility rates have stabilized at lower levels.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
