Any book on the demographic transition in Kerala is bound to attract attention at the moment, since the situation in Kerala is such as (could be described) 'dream came True' - a dream India is entertaining during the last 45 years. Kerala has attained demographic transition with a birth rate, death rate and infant mortality rate, comparable to those of the advanced countries of the world. One wonders what the reasons are behind this achievement, and whether it could be possible for other states of the country to take lessons from it so that the demographic transition in them is accelerated. The problem of population growth in India has become disastrous. The book under review is a great solace.

Abstract


Any book on the demographic transition in Kerala is bound to attract attention at the moment, since the situation in Kerala is such as (could be described) 'dream came True' - a dream India is entertaining during the last 45 years. Kerala has attained demographic transition with a birth rate, death rate and infant mortality rate, comparable to those of the advanced countries of the world. One wonders what the reasons are behind this achievement, and whether it could be possible for other states of the country to take lessons from it so that the demographic transition in them is accelerated. The problem of population growth in India has become disastrous. The book under review is a great solace.
