There are various interrelated and independent factors responsible for te continuing population growth in India.Some of these factors are--
1-Large size of population in reroductive age group(58%)
2-High fertility rate due to unmet contraception needs.Urgent steps are required to make contracetion more widely available,accesible and affordable.Reproductive health and basic infrastructure services are very poor in rural areas.
3-High wanted Fertility due to high Infant Mortality rate(IMR).Repeated Child births are seen as an attempt to keep as an insurance against multiple infant deaths.Thus high IMR reduces efforts of reducing TFR.
4-Child Marriage is also one of the cause.
To achieve demographic dividend reducing TFR and IMR is very important.Education,Infrastructure and Government Policies are very important in this aspect.National Population Policy is specifically vital in this context.
