Population
Whether in the north or the south, Indian states are all seeing their populations begin to age. However over a decade separates India's youngest and oldest states, and the southern states are already seeing a shrinking working-age population.
Population
The majority of births every year in India are to women in their twenties. But as family sizes decline, the age at which women have their children is changing in unusual ways.
Measurement
Why is it so difficult to accurately estimate how many people die every year, and of what?
Health
India is in the midst of a key public health transition, with communicable diseases now accounting for a falling share of deaths.
Health
India has higher than expected levels of anaemia. Could measurement be part of the explanation?
Living Conditions
Most Indians now have access to clean drinking water, but progress on tap water has been slower.
Population
Over the last 50 years, India has radically lowered the risk of dying young.
Population
After decades of growing faster than the world, India's population growth has slowed down dramatically.
