2 POPliLATION GRO\VTH:

Maharashtra with population of 78,937,187 and area of 307,713 sq. km. is the third largest State of India in terms of both population and area.

Population growth of Maharashtra:

The growth rate of Maharashtra had suddenly jumped by about 8% in the decade 1941-51. Till 1941, the growth rate was below 15% but from the next decade, the population growth rate shot up by about 8 %. And since then the growth rate never looked back and always remained above 22%. In that sense, the decade 1941-51, is a water mark for Maharashtra. The rise in growth rate had slowed down from 1981 but it still continues to grow at the rate of more than 25%.

T-l gives the growth rate of population of Maharashtra, India, a few other adjoining states. The chart 1 shows the variation of growth rate of population. From the chart it clearly appears that the population of was grO\ving at the fastest rate till 1981. But it has performed very well in the decade 1981-91 alongwith Kamataka to bring down the rate of growth to 21.19%. During 1941-51, all the adjoining states" had slowed down showing a dip in growth rate, but Maharashtra, alongwith Kamataka and Andhra Pradesh had shown a very steep rise in growth rate.

From 1951 onwards, Maharashtra has been growing at a much faster rate than the whole country mainly because of gro\ving in-migration into large cities. From 196] onwards, the growth rate of Gujarat and M.P. has always remained higher than the national average. That of A.P. had always remained below India, but only in 1991 it went marginally above national average.

Population growth of the Districts:

After considering Maharashtra State as a whole, we need to look at the district­ wise population growth. T-2 gives the decadal variation of the districts and T-3 gives the

3 C:\My Documents-l \PoplnGroNotc.doc decadal growth rates of the districts. The most populous districts of the State are Gr. Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Nashik, Ahmadnagar in that order. There are three districts namely Gr. Mumbai, Pune and Thane with more than 5 million population. That for Gr. Mumbai is a1most about 10 milhon. Sindhudurg and Gadchiroli are the smallest districts with population less than 1 million.

Considering the rate of population growth, we can see that Thane (56.6%), Aurangabad (39.6%) and Nanded (33.2%) district are the first three fastest growing districts of Maharashtra. Sindhudurg (6.56%), Ratnagiri (11.9%) and Bhandara (14.7%) are the slowest growing districts in that order.

Chart 2 shows the district-wise grow1h rate of a few important district From 1931 ftpto 1951 Gr. Mumbai saw a step rise in the gro'Nth rate, \vhe~eas Thane followed Gr. Mumbai from 1941. During, 1951-61, Gr. Mumbai, Thane and Pune had slowed "- dovm but Aurangabad grew at very rapid rate. The growth rate of Thane is almost a 45 degree straight line from 1961 onwards, whereas that for Gr. Mumbai is falling from 1971 onwards. This indicates that Thane being very close to Mumbai, is growing at the expense of Murnbai. During 1981-91, Thane and Aurangabad showed steep rise in population growth whereas Gr. Mumbai showed steep fall. Other populous districts of Nashik" Pune are growing steadily without any striking features.

The districts which have been always growing faster than the state average are Thane, Aurangabad, Nanded, Pune, Nashik and Nagpur. These districts with big city always have attracted people for works and effectively grew at a faster rate that the State as a whole. The districts which were growing slower than the State during 1971-81 but grew at a faster rate than the State average during 1981-91 are Jalna, Latur, Bid and Parbhani. All these are districts in the vicinity of Aurangabad. The remaining all districts remained lower than the state average as far as growth rate is concerned.

Level of Urbanization of ~Iaharashtra :

Maharashtra is one of the most urbanized state in India. The percentage of urban population to the total population in Maharashtra has always remained much higher than the national average. T - 4 gives the data on level of urbanization in Maharashtra, India and other adjoining states. If we consider percentage of urban to total population, Maharashtra , Gujarat and Karnataka have always remain higher than the national figure. Considering only the adjoining states, we can see from chart 4 that till 1951, Gujarat was the most urbanized state followed by Maharashtra and Kamataka. But from 1951 onwards, Maharashtra overtook Gujarat, and since then Maharashtra remained the most urbanized state with 38.73 % of population living in urban area. Chart.5· shows1 how the absolute urban population increased over the decades for the adjoining states. Urban population of all the four adjoining states have been growing steadily over the decades. But, in Maharashtra, the urban population grew very rapidly after 1931. In the first 50 years from 1901-1951, the absolute increase in Urban population was only about 60 lakhs whereas in the next 40 years it is about 213 lakhs. In Maharashtra the urban population is growing much faster than it total population.

Prima-facie, it appears that urbanization in Maharashtra is very good. For but ) urbanization to be creditable, it should be well spread. As per 1991 Census, 39 out of ] 00 persons are living in urban areas. Out of these 39 persons, 30 are bving in Class I cities. Out of these 30 persons, 24 are living in 11 Corporations of the State. Among these 24, 12 are living in Gr. Mumbai. It shows that urbanization in the State is highly skewed.

Konkan appears to be the most urbanized division due to Gr. Mumbai city and Thane. Least Urbanized division is Aurangabad. For all the divisions, the Urban component of the population is increasing. Amongst the six divisions the spread is better in Pune division \vith 4 corporations and 43 Municipal Councils.

While considering the district-wise distribution of urban population, we can see that Gr. Mumbai (32.5%) is having the largest share of total urban population of the State followed by Thane district (11.11%), Pune (9.19%), Nagpur (6.65%) etc. It clearly indicates that urbanization in Maharashtra State is highly skewed with most of its urban population spreading in mainly Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Nagpur district Two third of the district are having a share of 2% or less than 2% of the total urban population of the State. Sindhudurg (0.22%) and Gadchiroli (0.22%) are the two districts with lowest share. T 5 shows the district wise position.

11

C:\My Docwnents-l\PoplnGroNote.doc As per the 1991 Census, the percentage of urban population of the distri~t to total population of the district, Gr. Mumbai (100%), Thane (64.64%),. Nagpur (6L78%), PUne.' (50.74%) rank first, second, third and fourth respectively. As per 1981 and 1971 Census, Thane district was at the 4th position but during 1981-91, it overtook both Nagpur and Pune districts. Sindhudurg (7.59%), Gadchiroli (8.71%) and RatIiagiri are the last three districts with the least percentage urban population to the \vhole district population. It is also clear that as far as urban to total population is concerned, only four districts i.e. Gr.Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Nagpur are higher than the State average. This also shows the skewed distribution of urbanization in the State.

For all the districts, the percentage of urban to total population has been increasing over the decades. However, Solapur and Satara 'are the two only. districts whos_e proportion of urban population has gone d0\\11 during] 981-91.

cist-tu-71-21-9 ! Sex-ratio is one of the most impor.JJ1t indicator of the demography of the nation. In developed nations females are more ic. number than the males (1061 females/WOO males in 1990) but in developing countries. me males outnumber the females.

Sex-ratio since 1901 in India:

T - 7 and the chart 6 shows, the trend in sex-ratio in India, Maharashtra and a few adjoining states. It clearly appears from the chart 6 that the sex ratio is declining in the states including Maharshtra over the decades. The rate of fall had been different for different states during various decades. In last 90 years the sex ratio for M.P., Maharashtra, Kamataka and AP. declined by 58, 43, 23, and 13 points respectively. During the same period the fall for the whole country also is 43 i.e. the same as Maharashtra. From the chart 6 we can also see that amongst these four adjoining states, A.P. has got the most favourable sex ratio followed by Kamataka and M.P. during last four decades.

Sex-ratio in rural and urban areas of Mabarashtra :

Looking at the chart 7 and T -8 we can say that rural Maharashtra is always having favourable sex ratio than the urban Maharashtra. From 1961 onwards, the sex ratio has been steadily increasing in urban areas of Maharashtra whereas in rural areas it is showing a declining trend.

Districtwise position of sex-ratio:

T - 9 gives the decadal variation of the total sex ratio of various districts for the rural as well as urban areas. Chart 8 helps us to locate the districts with high sex ratio as well as low sex ratio with their decadal variation. It is clearly seen that from 1941 onards,

17 Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg remained first and second top districts respectively. Satara and Raigarh have been interchanging the third and fourth position in sex ratio. The most urbanised districts of Gr.Mumbai, Thane, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Pune always remained at the bottom. The total sex ratio of Gr.Mumbai district has been increasing steadily since 1951.

Another interesting feature worth noting is that out of 30 districts 23 districts are having higher total sex ratio than the whole state put together. Only five districts are having less than that of the state. The population of these five districts are so high that they have titled the whole sex ratio towards their low value.

Another note-worthy observation is that, during the decade 1981'-91, all the . I district except Gr.Mumbai, Nashik and Amravati all have shown decline in the sex ratio. " This decline is the highese for the Sindhudurg district (a fall of 68) and that for tI1e state . ,..., IS ..).

F or Census purposes, literacy means the ability to read and write with understanding. The age group 0-6 years, is not supposed attend school and hence not supposed to be literate and they are considered illiterate. The persons of age 7 years onwards should be literate. Literacy is very important demographic indicator since it represents the quality of the greatest asset of a nation.

Literacy in l\'laharashtra and adjoining states:

T -10 and chart 9 shows the decadal variation of the literacy rates of Maharashtra at the national level. From the chart 9 it is quite clear that the rates of literacy for the adjoining state as well as for the country is increasing steadily. From 1971 onwards, A.P. and M.P. have always remained below national average and the remaining three states are always above national average. From 1971 onwards Maharashtra is leading in literacy as compared to its four neighbours. During ] 961 Census, the literacy rate of Gujarat was better than that of Maharashtra but later on lost to Maharashtra. But as far as the whole country is concerned, Kerala, , Tamil Nadu are much ahead of Maharashtra in literacy.

In the last three decades, the increase in the literacy rate in Maharashtra was the maximum (9.36%) during 1961-71. After that the rate of .1se has fallen to 8% and 6.59% per decade, during 1971-81 and 1981-91 respectively. As against the total literacy rate, the female literacy rate has improved comparatively faster. The corresponding rate of decadal rise of female literacy are 9.67%,8.36% and 8.51% during 1961-71,71-81 and 81-91 respectively. But in terms of increase in absolute number of literates, during the last three decades from 1961, Maharashtra has added about 17 million literate males. For the female, the same figure is about 13 million only. At 1961 Census, the literate males were more in number than the female literates by about 54 million. At 1991 Census, this gap increased to 94 million.

23 RurallJrban distribution:

Considering the rural-urban component of literacy, we can see from chart 10 that the total literacy rate in urban areas (67.1%) is much more than in rural areas (45.4%). The difference between the male literacy in urban and rural areas is only 16.7% whereas that for female is 26.0%.

If we take a look at literacy in different age groups, we can see that the maximum literacy rate is observed in the age group 9-25 years.

District wise literacy rates:

The district wise literacy rates are sHown on T -11 arranged on descending order '\ of total literacy. The state average of total literacy is 64.87%. Out of30 districts, ohly 10 districts have total literacy above that of the state average and remaining 20 districts . \ remain below the state. All the districts have more or less retained their ranks during the past decades. Gr.Mumbai(82.5%), Sindhudurg(75.8%), Nagpur(73.6%), Pune(71%) districts are topping the list and Gadchiroli(42.9%), Jalna(46.3%), Parbhani(47.6%), Nanded(48.2%) districts remaining at the bottom. Akola (65.8%)district, just crosing the state average marginally. Kolhapur and Satara districts above the state average but relatively with poor female literacy.

It is also seen that except a few exceptions, as we go down the list, the gap between male and female literacy also widens. Which means that the districts which are poor in literacy must focus their attention to improving female literacy that too specially in rural areas.

27 SC/ST POPULATION

The Scheduled and the Scheduled tribes are a important section of the popuIatiga. They are the most backward and deprivCd -sectio1l of. the fIOciety. Their population and the growth, throw very important light on the demograp\ly of ihe society. The being very sensitive issue there is a tendency on the part 'of t4e respondent to give false information. This may lead to both over estimation as well as under estimation of the SC/ST population.

SC population in Maharaslltra & other states:

In Maharashtra, there are 59 Scheduled castes, and 41 Scheduled tribes with population of 81,51,842(1991) and 13,18,281 (1991) respectively.

T-12 shows'the deeadal variation of the percentage ofSC/ST to total population of Maharashtra and a few neighboring states. From chart 11, it clearly appears that

~ the total population, the SC population is also increasing for the nation and all the states. The percentage of SC population of the countIy. is increasing slowly from 14.6% in 1961 to 16.5% in 1991. We am see that Maharashtra and Gujarat had almost the similar percentage of SC population upto 1981. But in the decade 1981-91, SC percentage ofMaharashtra's population suddenly shot up to 11.1% from 7.14%; The SC percentage of population were similar for MP., A.P. and Karanataka till 1981. But at 1991 census, Kamartaka is having the maximum percentage (21%) of SC population followed by A.P. (15.9%), MP. (14.5%), Maharashtra (11.1%) and Gujarat (1.4%).

28 ST population in J\1aharashtra & other states:

The Chart 12 shows the proportion of ST population in Maharashtra and the neighboring states. It is very clearly seen that the M.P. state is always having highest ST

population (23 .3~'Q in 1991) as compared to the neighboring states. And, Kamataka is having the lowest ST proportion (4.3% in 1991). Maharashtra has remained somewhere - in between. Gujar:lt has always remained second after M.P.

Scheduled castes wise position in Maharashtra:

Out of 59 Scheduled castes, only four (4) castes are having population above one lakh in whole of Maharashtra. The scheduled castes which are having maximum population (?'> per 1991 Census) are Mahar (51.20 lakh), Mang (16.54 lakh1, Bhami (10.63 lakh), Bhangi (1.75 lakh). Bahna, Mitha, Mala Masti, Sansi etc. are the castes having lowest population. Amongst the four top SCs, Mahar is having the maximum decadal variation (210.6%) followed by Mang (36.5%), Bhangi (31.9%) and Bhambi (22.9%). Of course amongst all SCs the castes with maximum decadal variations are Anamuk (1017%), Mala Masti (893.3%), Mala Hannai (864.3%) etc. Mala is the only SC to have negative decadal growth. The T -14 shows the postion.

Scheduled Tribes wise position in lVIaharashtra:

47 Scheduled Tribes have a total population of73.18 lakh (1991) out of the total state population of 78,937,187. There are 16 tribes with population above 1 lakh.

Gond (14.4 lakh) Bhil (13.4 lakh), Koli Mahadev (9.9 lakh), Kokna (4.64 lakh) are the major tribes of Maharashtra, :_vith maximum population. Sawar, Nagesia, Bavacha are the tribes ,vith lowest population. Bhattra (788.7%), Birhul (373%), Nagesia (251.6%); Chodhara (206.7%) are the tribes with maximum decadal growth. Barda tribe is having negative growth. T-15 shows the position. DistriL't wise SC/ST population:

T-13 shows district wise the decadal growth of the SC & ST population against the total population of the district. A glance at the statement T -13 clearly shows that there are 19 districts with more proportion ofSC than the state average. Latur (19.6%), Nagpur (18.8%), Nanded (18.2%), Amravati (17.5%), Chandrapur (16.9%) are the districts with maximum proportion of SC. Where as Ratnagiri (1.8%), Raigarh (2.8%), Sindhudurg (5.1%) are the districts with minimum proportion of SC. Nagpur district had the_ maximum decadal variation during 1981-91 (11.8%).

Considering the ST population, we see that there are 12 districts which have higher proportion of ST than the State average. Dhule (40.9%), Gadch1roli (38.7%), , ' Nashik (24.2%), Yavatmal (21.5%), Chandrapur (19.7), Thane (19.7%) are the districts with higher proportion of ST. Sindhudurg (0.47%) , Sangli (0.49%), Kolhapll{ (0.49%) are the districts with lowest proportion of ST. Jalgaon is having the same proportion of ST as that of the state. The decadal variation of the districts in percentage ST popt.dation is very slow.

36 LANGUAGES

Languages used as mother tongue by the people of a state 1s very important. Initially, States were reorganised based on the languages spoken by the people of the state. This feature may undergo, changes due to in and out migration into or out of the State. Maharashtra was formed in 1962 based on the predominance of Marathi people. The adjoining states of Kamataka, Gujarat, A.P., M.P. have Ihe predominance of Kannada, Gujarati, Telegu and Hindi people. Naturally, in the bordering districts of Maharashtra, we will also find these people to a greater extent.

Marathi and other main languages in Maharashtra:

T -16 and T -] 7 gives the picture very cleary. 73.3% of the total population of Maharashtra speak Marathi, followed by Hindi (7.8%), Urdu (7.3%), Gujarati (2.6%), Telegu (1.4%), Kannada (1.3%), Sindhi (0.8%) etc. We have maximum number of Marathi people in Pune (45.6 lakh) followed by Gr.Mumbai (41.3 lakh), Thane (35.2 lakh), Nashik (2.7 lakh), Ahmadnagar (30.3 lakh) etc. Gadchiroli, Dhule, Sindhudurg are the states with minimum number of people with Marathi mother tongue. If We look at the proportion of people to the total population of the district then Satara' (94.2%), Sindhudurg (92.6%), Ratnagiri (90.2%), Kolhapur (90.1 %), Ahmadnagar (89.9%) rank first, second, third, fourth and fifth respectively.

From T -16, it is very clear, that the Marathi people are concentrated mainly in the western part of the state. Regarding Hindi, it is clear that out of 61.7 lakh people with Hindi as mother tongue, the maximum number is seen in Gr.Mumbai (15.6 lakh), followed by Nagpur (5.3 lakh) , Thane (4.9 lakh), Pune (3.75 lakh). Percentage wise, Yavatmal (16.9%), Nagpur (16.1%), Gr.Mumbai (15.7%) are the districts with large concentration of Hindi people.

37 The maximum number of people with Urdu as mother tongue is seen mainly in Gr.Mumbai (l1.91akh), Aurangabad (3.71akh), Nashik(3.43 lakh) and Thane (3.41 lakh). Aurangabad is having the highest proportion of Urdu people (16.7%) followed by Akola (12.5%).

40 WORK-FORCE Definition: Work: It may be defined as participation in any economically productive activity. Such participation may be physical or mental in nature. It involves not only actual work but also effective supervision and direction of work. It also includes unpaid work on farm or in family enterprise. "Main Worker" : Those who had worked for the major part of the year i.e. 6 months (183 days) or more are termed as "Main Workers". "Marginal Workers": Those who had worked for less than six months (183 days) in the year are tenned as "Marginal Workers". Again workers means main worker and marginal workers both. Analysis: Table 1 s]:>ows that the workers were counted 48% in 1961 Census whereas after three decades i.e. in 1991 Census it was 43% which is declined by 5 points in Maharashtra States. Same thing happened in respec of male and female workers for the same period i.e. 1961 to 1991 Census by five points. When we compare the data of 1991 Census with 1981 Census. There was a little change but almost same i.e. the total work force counted 43%. While in the case of female work force it was recorded 31 % in 1981 and 33% in 1991 Census which is 2 points more in the decade 1981-1991. But in respect of male work force it was 54% in 1981 and 52% in 1991 Census which is opposite to the female work force i.e. during this decade 1981-1991 there was a decline by 2 points.

It can also be observed from the Table 1 that 54% people were recorded as workers which is higher in Gadchiroli district and 35% in Gr. Mumbai, which is lowest in Maharashtra in 1981 and 1991 Censuses both.

There were 24 districts above and 6 district below the State average of 43% workforce in 1991 Census. Whereas in 1981 Census, 18 districts were noted above and 12 districts below the state average of 43% workforce. From the above, it is easily concluded that the workers in 60% district in 1981 rose to 80% district in 1991 above the State average of 43% workforce for both the Censuses.

41 both the Census 1981 and 1991 and Gr. Mumbai one of the lowest district in respect of male workforce and General Workforce during the 1981 and 1991 Censuses both. In respect of female workforce, Ratnagiri is the lowest district in 1981 and 1991 Census both.

Table 2 reveal that the percentage of main and marginal work-force to the total population. Since the data on marginal work-force were not collected in 1961 and 1971 Censuses, 'the data collected on main work-force including marginal workers due to definition at that time. Hence, we cannot compare with data collected for 1981 & 1991 Census. Table 2 shows that the percentage of main work force in, 1981 Census was 38.7 and it rose to 39.3 percent in 1991 Census. In case of marginal work force it was 3.9 percent in 1981 Census which decreased to 3.7 percent in 1991 Census wq_ich is little difference. When the data compare with whole district of th~ State Maharashtra, it is .... clearly observed that Buldana district was the highest (47.0%) in 1981 Census whereas in 1991 Census Bhandara district stood highest i.e. 45.8 % in respect of the mfiin work­ force. But in respect of marginal work-force Nanded district was highest (8.8%) in 1981 and Sindhudurg district (9.2%) in 1991 Census. Similarly, Sindhudurg was the lowest i.e.32.4% in 1981 Census and GLMumbai (34.6%) in 1991 Census in respect of main work-force. For marginal work-force GLMumbai noted as lowest in 1981 as well as 1991 Census i.e. 0.5% and 0.6% respectively.

In general, during the decade, 1981-91, there is no change in respect of work- force.

Comparison with neighbouring states:

From Table 3 it can be easily seen that there were a steady increasing trend in respect of total work-force of Maharashtra as well as its neighbouring States Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat except Andhra Pradesh. In Andhra Pradesh there was a little decreasing trend in 1991 Census. But all these States were above the national average. Andhra Pradesh having better position of work-force among these States which followed by Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh both having similar position. Further in respect of

42 male total \\ork-forc<: and njar~;ral total \\ork-forc\.: :\i1d.hra Pradesh has oetter position followed by Karnataka, tvladhya Pradesh and Maharashtra in respect of male total \\"ork­ force. In respect of female total work-force also, Andhra Pradesh has better position followed by Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Kamataka and Gujarat.

As already mentioned earlier that the data on marginal work-force were not collected in 1961 and 1971 due to definition of main work-force. Therefore, comparison with the Census 1981 and 1991 is not possible. Again Andhra Pradesh has better position in respect of main total work-force but Gujarat in respect of marginal work-force. Followed by Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Kamataka and Gurajat in respect of total main work-force, whereas in respect of marginal total work force Gujarat has better position which followed by Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kamataka and Andhra

Pradesh. Again Andhra Pradesh is higher in respect of male and female main work-for~e whereas Kamataka is second highest in male main work-force and Maharashtra is in the case offernale main work-force.

In general, when Maharashtra compare with its neighbouring States, Andhra Pradesh has sound position and Maharashtra is the second one in respect of work -force.

------~ 49 MIGRATION

What is meant by Migration?

Migration is the third component of population change, the other two being mortality and fertility. The nature of migration as a factor affecting population size is different from that of mortality and fertility.

After independence Maharashtra has made great strides in the field of industrialisation and the factor of migration attained significance in the study of its population, more so because of the fact that the death rate has been reduced considerably and brought under control.

Before the 1971 census, migrants were classified on the basis of place of'birth. Since 1981 migrants are classified with reference to place of birth or place of last residence.

A person is considered as a migrant by place of birth if the place in which he is enumerated during the census is other than the place of his birth. Similarly, a person is considered as a migrant by place of last residence if in the place in which he is enumerated during the census is other than his place of immediate last residence.

Internal and International migration

The migrational movements are of three types - (i) Migration within the state itself with its components (a) Migration within the district of enumeration (intra district migration) (b) Migration from one district of Maharashtra to other districts of Maharashtra (inter district migration), (ii) Migration from other states of India to Maharashtra (inter state migration), and (iii) Migration from other countries to Maharashtra. The first two streams together constitute internal migration, while the last type of movement is called international migration.

50 Migrants by place of birth

On the basis of migrants by place of birth, there are 251.60 lakhs migrants in Maharashtra in 1991, comprising 94.40 lakhs males and 157.20 lakhs females. These migrants constitute 31.87 per cent of the total population. Male migrants constitute 23.12 per cent of male population while female migrants account for 41.25 per cent of female population.

T.20 presents the distribution of total migrants in Maharashtra by place of birth.

It is clearly seen from the T.20 that females predominate in intra district migration while males predominate in interdistrict, inter-state and international migration. The heavy predominance of females so far as Intra-district migration is concerned can be judged by the absolute value. While there are 39.80 lakhs male migrants as per 1991 Census who have migrated within the district, the corresponding number for females is 91.63 lakhs which is more than twice the male migrants. Even in the inter-district movement, the female migrants (45.18 lakhs) out number the male migrant (31.14 Iakhs), although the proportion of male migrants to total male migrants (32.99) is higher than the corresponding proportion of females (28.74).

The number of migrants born in other state of India has some what gone down from 44.041akhs in 1981 to 42.12 lakhs in 1991. While in 1981, 16.85 per cent of the total migrants were born in other states of India in 1991 this proportion has gone down slightly 16.74 per cent of the total migrants. Thus, while the inter-state migrants in tenns of absolute number has gone down 1981-91, their proportion to total migrants has more or less remain the same.

66 FERTILITY LEVELS AND TlL£NDS

Th~ growth of populaticlO depends entirely on hum..il fertility. Any society replenishes itself to the process of human fertility. It is, therefc,i-e. obvious that if fertil ity is higher. ;)opulation replacement will be higher. Therefore, kr twledge of fertility levels

and trenQ" is essential.

In the 1991 Census four questions relating to fertility 'n;.,e canvassed. These are related tc -age at marriage, number of surviving children, numrv' of children every born and whether any child was born during the last one year. The fif')t three were asked from

each ever married wom~n ;:Inn tlw !:l"t one was asked from each .urrently married woman only.

The fertility indicators on which information is preser:_~d herein, namely, Age

Specific F~rtjlity Rate (ASFR), A.'!:,e Specific Martial Fertility:;:ate (ASMFR), General

Ferti1ity Rate (GFR), General Mantal Fertility Rate (GMFR), 1~·~al Fertlity Rate (TFR), Total MaTltal Fertility Rate (TMFR) are based on the questi(F on, -'births during Jast year."

Th-;:s.e tenns are defined as Iollowed :-

Age Specitlc Fertility Rate: The average number of children '_'nrn alive during the last year per woman of a particular age group.

Age Specific Marita] Fertility R2te : The average number of dddren born alive during the last year per married woman of a particular age group.

Limitations for these indices are :-

(i) Question of birth during the last one year is canvassed only for currently married woman for operational reasons. (ii) Babies born during the last year to mothers \-"ho may have died before Census date have been left out. (iii) In the al::sence of any data on deaths of females during last year, the number of females classified by age groups as reported in the Census. has been used without any adjustment.

Fertility Level

T -27 presents the ASFR and ASMFR for rural and urban areas separately for 1981 and 1991 Censuses.

The fertility rates are seen to be higher in the age group 20-24 in both rural and urban areas for both the Censuses i.e. 1981 and 1991 followed by age group 25-29.

C:\My Documents-l \Fertility. doc 68 About 30 per cent of the total fertility is accounted for by this age group in 1981 and 33 per cent in 1991. The age group 25-29 years accounts for about 25 per cent in both the censuses of the total fertility. Thus, about 55.38 per cent of the total fertility is accounted for by the age group 20-29 years in 1981 and about 59 per cent in 1991. The fertility rates decline after age 30. The fall in fertility after age 30 s sharper in urban areas for both the Censuses i.e. 1981 and 1991. In all the age groups, fertility rates are higher in rural areas than in urban areas. This is true about both ASFR and ASMFR.

Fertility trend through indices ofGMFR and TIv1FR for the 1971, 1981 and 1991 Censuses are compared in T·28.

It is clear from the above table that fertility has declined in Maharashtra in both rural and urban areas. The decline in fertility in urban areas is higher than that in the rural areas.

Parity

Women may be classified according to the number of children born alive to them. For instances, the first parity women are those who have given birth to one child, the second parity women are those who have given birth to two children and so on. This information is given in T -29 for Maharashtra by rural and urban areas for 1981 and 1991 Censuses.

The Table T -30 shows that highest ever born children among the four neighboring state is found in Madhya Pradesh (4.8) followed by Kamataka (4.4) and Gujarat (4.2). If you look into urban and rural areas, this State have reported their rank as maintained above. The total number of children surviving in rural area of the above State is (3.9) where as urban area it is 3.8, 3.7, 3.5. In Maharashtra this average is found 4.1 and 3-.6 for ever born and surviving children respectively.
