Population in India is widely differentiated in ethnic composition, geographical and climatic conditions, social and cultural stratiļ¬cation, as well as by differences in economic status. Differential fertility therefore assumes a far more complex picture in India than anywhere in the world. Ethnic. geographical. socio-cultural and economic dilferences give a four-fold patterning with many complicated interactions. It is essential therefore to study different population groups separately. (en) |
