In new: Recently the The Minister of State (Health and Family Welfare)stated in the Rajya Sabha that the Crude Birth Rate (CBR) has declined from 23.8 to 20.2 from 2005 to 2017

What is the Crude Birth Rate (CBR)?

It is calculated as the number of live births per 1000 population in a given year. CBR represents only a crude estimate of fertility not all the population included in the denominator is exposed to the risk of pregnancy.

What is the current  CBR in India?

In 2020, the crude birth rate for India was 17.44 births per thousand population. Crude birth rate of India fell gradually from 38.82 births per thousand population in 1971 to 17.44 births per thousand per thousand population in 2020.

What is the Crude Death Rate?

Crude death rate indicates the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.

What is the current CDR in India?

In 2020, the crude death rate for India was 7.3 deaths per thousand population. Over the last 50 years, crude death rate of India was declining at a moderating rate to shrink from 16.73 deaths per thousand population in 1971 to 7.19 deaths per thousand population in 2020.

What is Rate of Natural increase?

It refers to the difference between the number of live births and the number of deaths occurring in a year, divided by the mid-year population of that year, multiplied by a factor (usually 1,000). It is equal to the difference between the crude birth rate and the crude death rate.

Current status

In 2020, the rate of natural increase for India was 10.14 persons per thousand population. Rate of natural increase of India fell gradually from 22.09 persons per thousand population in 1971 to 10.14 persons per thousand population in 2020.
