According to the “State of the World Population 2025 Report” released by the United Nations Population Fund last week, India's total fertility rate has dropped to 1.9, which means that an average of 1.9 children are born per Indian woman, which is below the 2.1 children required to maintain the generational transition of the population. Comparative data shows that in 1960, the total population of India was about 436 million. At that time, the average number of children born per woman was close to 6. Despite declining fertility, India's youth population base is still very large. According to the data, people in the 0-14 age group account for 24% of the total population, the 10-19 age group accounts for 17%, and the 10-24 age group accounts for 26%. 68% of the population is of working age. The proportion of the elderly population aged 65 and over is 7%. Furthermore, according to the report, India's population is expected to reach 1.46 billion in 2025 and will remain the world's most populous country. After that, India's population will peak at about 1.7 billion in about 40 years, and stabilize at around 1.4 billion in 2100.
