Going into 2015, the good news is that India’s birth rate has declined dramatically over the past two decades and more, in part due to rising female literacy, according to a new report called the Sample Registration Survey, published on 23 December 2014. The total fertility rate – the number of children the average woman is likely to have in her lifetime – fell to 2.3 per cent last year from 3.6 per cent in 1991. Improvements in female literacy were having “a direct impact on fertility,” said the survey “The new data shows India does not need to panic,” said Poonam Muttreja, Director of the Population Foundation of India. “Even the poorest and most marginalized women want no more than two children, thanks to the country’s focus on family planning in recent years.” While the government officially abandoned targets for family planning in 1996, local authorities have continued to offer cash incentives to women who opt for sterilization. However, experts warn that there is no room for complacency on the issue of population control.
