This profile of the population of India contains tables of selected demographic information, including size of population, and estimates of fertility and mortality. Annual estimates of total population are shown beginning in 1950. An adjusted distribution of the population by age and sex is given for the latest census year, as well as for 1978. Projections of the number of women of childbearing age are shown for each year to 1985. Fertility measures shown in the profile include crude birth rates, age-specific fertility rates, and gross and net reproduction rates. Mortality is shown in terms of crude death rates, life expectancy at birth, infant mortality rates, and selected life table values by age and sex. Also presented is summary information on family planning, urban population, marital status, and some data from which past migration can be inferred. Other related items are included, such as number and size of households; educational attainment; school enrollment; labor force by industry, occupation, and status; and some other selected indicators.
