Question

What are the two factors that led to the decreasing growth rate of population from 1981 to 2011?

Answer 1

1. Increased Awareness and Use of Family Planning:
   • Between 1981 and 2011, there was a significant rise in awareness about family planning methods.
   • Government campaigns, access to contraceptives, and promotion of small family norms helped in reducing the birth rate.
2. Improvement in Literacy and Education:
   • Growth in literacy rates, especially among women, led to better understanding of the benefits of smaller families.
   • Educated individuals tend to marry later and have fewer children, which contributed to the decline in population growth rate.
