NCERT (2026-27): “8.3 Demographic Indicators … Though China is the largest nation and geographically occupies the largest area among the three nations, its density is the lowest. …” “… The fertility rate is also low in China and very high in Pakistan. Urbanisation is high in China with India having 36 per cent of its people living in urban areas.” “8.4 Gross Domestic Product and Sectors … Thus, China’s growth is contributed by the manufacturing and service sectors and India’s growth by the service sector. During this period, Pakistan has shown deceleration in all three sectors.” |
