Book excerpt: India is in the midst of a demographic transition to lower fertility and mortality, which is occurring at the same time that the country's economy is industrializing and international trade flourishing. India's population (931 million in 1995) was growing at more than 2 percent annually for the past three decades, despite declines in fertility. In the early 1990s, India's growth rate finally slipped below 2 as fertility declines caught up with the welcome declines in mortality.
