Solution
The four major reasons for the population explosion in India are:
Mortality rate – In certain sections of the population where there is a prevalence of higher infant mortality rates, having more children is favoured.
Traditional belief – Certain sections of Indian society hold the traditional belief that children are a sign of prosperity and hence attempt to bear more children.
Economic reasons – Some families may consider children as a helping hand to increase income.
Lack of recreation – Lack of awareness and low income may lead to individuals engaging in procreation as a form of recreation resulting in more offspring.
