India has witnessed a significant demographic shift over the past five decades, with both birth and death rates halving. The birth rate fell from 36.9 per 1,000 in 1971 to 18.4 in 2023, while the death rate dropped from 14.9 to 6.4. Urbanization, family planning, and female education drove this change, alongside improved healthcare and life expectancy. Infant mortality also declined. Regional disparities remain, but experts say the trend could ease population pressure and boost India’s economic growth through a demographic dividend.

India’s Birth and Death Rates Halved in 50 Years

In the past 50 years, both the birth rate and death rate in India have been cut in half. According to the latest official statistics, the birth rate in 1971 was 36.9 per 1,000 people, while in 2023 it has dropped to 18.4 per 1,000. This indicates a significant slowdown in population growth. Not just the birth rate, but the death rate has also declined over the same period, from 14.9 to 6.4 per 1,000. Improvements in healthcare, life expectancy, and social development have brought India into a new demographic reality.
