Summary
India is resilient to current economic depression. It has a dominant position in Asia with one of the largest and expanding markets in the world. India attracts much attention with her GDP, upcoming growth rate, educated middle class, and inherent low cost for industrial production. However, there is always the question of largeness of the population of India, and the attending population-related problems. The book supplies single year gender wise age tables of India starting from 1881 up to 2001, and their projections to 2011 and 2021, making up a time-series of age tables for 150 years. This kind of time series is rare. Economists, business planners and managers, insurance, demography, actuary, and population experts need the information. The Malthus Reproduction Ratio presented in the book base on the fourth stage handling of census age data. The ratio shows that the mothers of India grew at the yearly rate of 2% whereas the daughters grew 3% yearly for the last fifty years. That means that the birth control measures taken in India are inconsequential, and there can be a tremendous population explosion in India beginning from 2021, which will affect, amongst other things, the food and water availability in the world and the downgrading of the world’s ecology resulting from human related depredation of nature. It is a futuristic book, which is important on several counts. Quite many countries in the world do not have single year gender wise age tables covering all the communities. For those countries, THINK INDIA AGE TABLE may act as a revelation, and inducement to preparing country wise age tables leading to a global picture never seen before - and sooner that happens, better it is for the world. World should not choke with people.
