| Annotation | 'Demographic transition' in a population is brought about by declining fertility and mortality rates, resulting in improvement of life expectancy at birth with a growing proportion of children to adults. This paper examines the interrelationship between the demographic transition and the process of population ageing in India, and outlines the socio-economic and demographic implications of more people surviving into old age. |
