Discuss the impact of Total Fertility Rate remaining constant at 2.0 in 2021 on India's demographic scenario.
Analyze the implications of the stable Total Fertility Rate for India's population dynamics.
- Stable Total Fertility Rate of 2.0 means that on average, each woman in India is having two children, which is considered the replacement level fertility.
- This would lead to a stable population growth rate as the number of births equals the number of deaths, resulting in a balanced population.
- With a Total Fertility Rate of 2.0, India's population is likely to stabilize in the long run, reducing the risk of overpopulation.
- Stable fertility rate also indicates that the socio-economic factors influencing family planning practices in India are relatively consistent.
- However, there may be challenges in terms of an aging population and its implications on healthcare, pension systems, and workforce dynamics.
