Kerala's Demographic Transition by K C Zachariah,S Irudaya Rajan Pdf
With a focus on various aspects of Kerala′s demographic transition, contributors to this volume demonstrate that it is not necessary to wait for major changes in the productive sectors of the economy to introduce a successful programme in family planning and maternal and child health. Topics discussed include: the nature of, and the factors underlying, the transition; how Kerala differs from other Indian states; the role played by education, age at marriage and use of contraceptives; the causes and consequences of population aging; and the impact of both internal and external migration.

Migration and Development by Kunniparampil Curien Zachariah,Sebastian Irudaya Rajan Pdf
Demography is destiny for most populations. At this juncture of its demographic transition, it is, however, migration that is destiny for the Kerala population According to the first Kerala Migration Study (1999), migration had provided the single most dynamic factor in the otherwise dismal economic scenario of Kerala in the last quarter of the twentieth century. This Book documents Kerala's deepening socio-economic nexus with the Gulf countries through emigration based on the second Kerala Migration Survey conducted in 2004, funded the South Asian Network of Economic Institutes (SANE) and the special grant from the Centre for Development Studies, Kerala. It provides information on the size, trend, geographical distribution, socio-economic composition of migrants, and remittances sent home by migrants.// Analysis based on this new study indicates that migration is continuing to provide the most dynamic factor in the economic growth of Kerala State in the new century. The new century is likely to see migration encompassing a wider section of the Kerala population and the migration-impact spreading to newer sectors of the Kerala economy. Migrants of the 21st century would be structurally different from those of the 20th century. They would be better qualified and would be occupying higher positions in the job market abroad. The economic and political climate in the State seems to be becoming more receptive to profitable investments in developmental projects on a much larger scale in the coming decades. Emigration is likely to bring in, besides the much-needed capital, entrepreneurship and business leadership for Kerala's development. Migration is poised to determine more closely Kerala's destiny in the socio-economic development in the coming decades.

Social Development, Cultural Change & Fertility Decline by Kuttan Mahadevan,M Sumangala Pdf
Low fertility rates are usually associated with high levels of economic development. The Indian state of Kerala is an exception -- despite a comparatively low level of economic development, the fertility rate is declining rapidly. This book studies the determinants of declining fertility rates. The authors have developed a model -- applicable to other regions in the developing world -- which focuses on social development and cultural change as causes of declining fertility and, more importantly, an improvement in the quality of life.

Demographic Transition in South Asia by Falendra K. Sudan Pdf
Demographically And Also Economically South Asian Region, Comprising The Countries Of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan And Sri Lanka, Is One Of The Critical Major Regions Of The World. By Word Standards, It Is Chararacterized By High Rate Of Population Growth, High Density And High Dependency. South Asian Population Growth Makes It Virtually Certain That The Tremendous Rate At Which Population Is Increasing Will Double The Number Of People In The Region Within Next 30 Or 40 Years, However Vigorous And Efficient Family Planning Programmes May Be. Indisputably, This Region Has Been Facing A Population Explosion Of Crisis Dimensions. The Entire Battle Against Poverty Is Thwarted By The Rapid Increase In Population. Without Reduction In The Rate Of Population Increase, The Cherished Hopes Of The People For Better Life Are Doomed To Frustration.In The Present Study, An Attempt Has Been Made To Analyse The Facts And Features Of South Asian Population And The Demographic Factors Affecting The Pace And Level Of Economic And Social Development In The Region. A Population Policy For The Region Is Also Worked Out, For South Asian S Population Problem Cannot Be Solved By Pretence And Wishful Thinking. It Is Emphasized That In The Present Context Of South Asia What Needed Is The Increase In The Productive Capacity To Support A Large Population On The One Hand And To The Reduction In Fertility Rates On The Other Hand So That Growth Of Population Is Stabilized At A Lower Level.
Population Dynamics of a Minority Community by Puthupparampil Mathew Andrews Pdf
The present study is a historical examination of the demographic changes that have taken place in a minority community (Christians), in a small state (Kerala) of a large underdeveloped country (India), which is undergoing the process of demographic transition. Examination of the available data shows that the Christians in Kerala have higher birth rate and rate of growth as compared to the majority group, the Hindus. When compared to another similar minority group, the Muslims, the Christian birth rates of growth seem to be comparable. In the absence of the use of any voluntary fertility limiting practices the explanation for the differential fertility behaviour, lies in the socio-cu1tural, economic and occupational differences that exist between these religious groups. Actually it is felt that the "religious affiliation", served as a proxy for a number of socio-economic characteristics. The minority group status was found to be an unimportant factor because the Christian population originally branched off from the majority population, the Hindus, through a process of conversion. They share a lot of common social and cultural practices. Since the majority and minority communities live in peace and harmony, competition between them for numerical superiority is not a factor in the differential fertility behaviour. A comparison between India and Kerala shows that Kerala has the lowest birth rate among all Indian statesnow. However, the rate of growth of population in Kerala is slightly higher than the all India average. This is due to the fact that Kerala has very low mortality rate as well. Higher levels of literacy, better standards of public health and hygiene are the determinants of this very low mortality. It is noted that the relatively high rate of growth of population is the greatest threat to the social and economic development of Kerala and to overcome this problem, birth rate has to be reduced drastically. Experience of the seventies shows that enlightened family planning program can contribute towards the solution of the population problem even in the absence of a dramatic change in the economy of a region. It is believed that the pattern shown by Kerala may be a model for India.

Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes by National Academy of Sciences,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Indian National Science Academy Pdf
As the world's population exceeds an incredible 6 billion people, governmentsâ€"and scientistsâ€"everywhere are concerned about the prospects for sustainable development. The science academies of the three most populous countries have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to understand the linkage between population growth and land-use change, and its implications for the future. By examining six sites ranging from agricultural to intensely urban to areas in transition, the multinational study panel asks how population growth and consumption directly cause land-use change, and explore the general nature of the forces driving the transformations. Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes explains how disparate government policies with unintended consequences and globalization effects that link local land-use changes to consumption patterns and labor policies in distant countries can be far more influential than simple numerical population increases. Recognizing the importance of these linkages can be a significant step toward more effective environmental management.
Fertility Transition in South India by Christophe Z Guilmoto,S Irudaya Rajan Pdf
This volume brings together 13 well-researched and original essays which describe and analyse the trajectory of fertility decline in the south Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Documenting the fact that the fertility decline occurred in regions with vast differences in development indicators, the contributors argue that this transition must be understood as a cumulative result of several factors including family planning policies, socio-economic transformation, and changes in social perceptions towards fertility, contraception, marriage, family and child rearing. Combining various qualitative and quantitative techniques with field studies and historical analysis, the contributors go beyond the formal tools of demography and develop an original Geographical Information System (GIS), a spatialized database encompassing south Indian districts.

The Demographic Dividend by Mr.Shekhar Aiyar,Mr.Ashoka Mody Pdf
Large cohorts of young adults are poised to add to the working-age population of developing economies. Despite much interest in the consequent growth dividend, the size and circumstances of the potential gains remain under-explored. This study makes progress by focusing on India, which will be the largest individual contributor to the global demographic transition ahead. It exploits the variation in the age structure of the population across Indian states to identify the demographic dividend. The main finding is that there is a large and significant growth impact of both the level and growth rate of the working age ratio. This result is robust to a variety of empirical strategies, including a correction for inter-state migration. The results imply that a substantial fraction of the growth acceleration that India has experienced since the 1980s - sometimes ascribed exclusively to economic reforms - is attributable to changes in the country’s age structure. Moreover, the demographic dividend could add about 2 percentage points per annum to India’s per capita GDP growth over the next two decades. With the future expansion of the working age ratio concentrated in some of India’s poorest states, income convergence may well speed up, a theme likely to recur on the global stage.
