Question

Nowadays, India is under which stage of demographic cycle?

• A. Early expanding
• B. Late expanding
• C. Phase of decline
• D. High stationary

Answer 1

The correct option is B Late expanding

In India, the death rate is decreasing due to better medical facilities nowadays and the birth rate is also on declining stage due to proper awareness and usage of contraception methods like oral pills and condoms. But the overall birth rate is still higher than the death rate, hence population continuous to grow. Hence, India is in the late expanding stage.
Early expanding is the condition in which death rate is decreasing but birth rate is high.
The phase of decline when the death rate is more than birth rate and the total population is in declining stage. for example in Germany and Hungary.
High stationary when there is high birth rate and high death rate and both cancels out each other.

So, the correct answer is option B.
