Demographic transition in India has not been achieved because of which of the following?
A. Mortality rates has been successfully reduced
B. Births rates are still not reduced
C. Mortality rates are high
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct option is: Only B
Explanation:
- Demographic transition refers to the shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates, typically observed as a country undergoes economic development.
- In the context of India, mortality rates have been successfully reduced (Option A). However, birth rates in India have not reduced significantly, which is a key factor preventing the completion of the demographic transition (Option B). This is why the correct option is "Only A."
