India's population to hit 152.2 crore by 2036

There will be 152.2 crore people living in india by 2036, according to estimates from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. According to official data, the sex ratio is expected to increase from 943 in 2011 to 952 in 2036. In addition, it is anticipated that the percentage of women would increase to 48.8% from 48.5 percent in 2011.

According to official data, the percentage of people under 15 is expected to decline between 2011 and 2036, while the percentage of people 60 years of age and beyond is expected to rise significantly.

Reducing fertility is most likely the cause of the drop in the percentage of people under the age of 15.

• India's population is predicted to reach 152.2 crore by 2036, with a somewhat higher percentage of women—48.8%—than in 2011 (48.5%).

• By 2036, the sex ratio should have improved from 943 in 2011 to 952.

• A decline in younger women's fertility rates is another significant finding. According to the research, the Age Specific Fertility Rate for the 25–29 and 20–24 age groups decreased from 135.4 and 166.0 to 113.6 and 139.6 in 2020.

• The ASFR for the 35–39 age group climbed from 32.7 to 35.6 during the aforementioned period, indicating that women are considering growing their families after settling into adulthood, according to the survey.

• The information points to a downward trend in the infant mortality rate over time for both genders. According to statistics, the Under 5 Mortality Rate dropped from 43 in 2015 to 32 in 2020.

• Both men's and women's labor force participation rates are rising, according to the study. According to the Periodic Labour Force Survey, between 2017–18 and 2022–23, the male LFPR increased to 78.5 from 75.8, while the female LFPR decreased to 37 from 23.3.
