Reasons for high population growth in India include:
I. Preference for female kids
II. Non-availability of contraceptives
III. Little or no family planning
IV. Low birth rate and high death rate
One of the biggest problems of India is its huge population. This has been hindering its growth and development. Various factors or reasons are responsible for this. Some of them are-
1. Preference for male kids- Couples keep on producing children until they conceive a male child.
2. Non-availability of contraceptives- Many contraceptives are not available to all sections of the society. This is due to poverty, lack of awareness on contraceptives methods, inhibitions, etc.
3. No family planning- Due to illiteracy, lack of awareness, lack of recreational activities.
4. High birth rates and lower death rates cause an increase in population. If birth rate remains the same and death rate increases, the population will reduce in size. If birth rate increases and death rate remain the same, the size of the population will increase in size.
