What is demographic divide? In which year is this divide seen in India and why?
Answer:
When there is a sudden fluctuation in population or the growth rate declines, it is called demographic divide.

  • In India, it took place in 1981 as the rate of growth started declining gradually.
  • It happened as the birth rate declined rapidly during this period.
  • Since 1981, birth rates declined, resulting in a gradual decline in the rate of population growth.
