Demographic Change, Age Structure Transition and Ageing in India: Issues and Challenges
K S James
K M Sathyanarayana

India, accounting for nearly 18 percent of the world population has been experiencing slow but steady demographic transition since the second half of the last century. In recent years, however, the fertility transition in India has accelerated resulting in rapid changes in the age structure of the population. T his change creates unique opportunities along with significant challenges both for the economy and society. The age structure change is expected to create demographic dividend initially and ageing of population later. With wide variation in the demographic transition across states in the country, the demographic dividend and ageing is also likely to vary significantly across states in India.

The provisional population result from 2011 census provides some useful information on the pace of demographic change taking place in the country. Although provisional data do not provide age composition of the population, the available population totals and the proportion of child population in the age group 0-6 years help us to understand the emerging demographic change and the plausible age structure transition in the country. What follows is an analysis of the available data from the 2011 census to understand the emerging age structure changes in India.
