Synopsis The fast rate of growth of population has affected the quality of life of the people. The time has come when future citizens while in educational institutions should understand various issues related to the population problem. This book covers the topics like—why to study population dynamics? What is its utility to prospective as well as in-service teachers? Sex education, family planning and their relation with the population are discussed. It highlights the fact that population growth and economic-cum-human development of a country act and react to each other and in this race the latter is always the loser and the former is the winner. Facts and figure of Census of India 2001 and Population Policy of India 2001 have been analysed. The book should be useful to several sections of society interested in population dynamics and development on account of its wide coverage and use of update data drawn from the Census 2001 and UN publications.
