Demographic Transition Model
India is considered to be in stage two of the demorgraphic transition model. Although the birth rate is relatively high and the death rate is declining, the high infant mortality rate illustrates the country's low level of development.The population's health standards are too low, resulting in an undernourished population. The education of the youth in India is also lacking as many do not enroll in secondary schools. These conditions combine to produce a low life expectancy.
