Spatial and Temporal Variation of Old Age Group Population in India

old age group includes population above 60 years of age. This age group is an economic burden upon the adult age group as it is to be provided with food, clothing and sufficient health care. Social science research on old age group population has been gaining much momentum since 1970's. The rapid growth of elderly population raises two main areas of concern for government policy makers firstly how to ensure adequate health care and secondly how to build adequate economic and social support for elderly population. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the trend of young age group population at state level from 1881-2001. It reveals that according to 1881 census the proportion of the old age population (60 years and above) was (7.43 per cent) as a country as a whole. However the trend show that the proportion of old age population has continuously increased from 5.27 per cent in 1881 to 7.43 per cent in 2001 to the total population, except during the census 1891, 1901, 1931 and 1951 when the country experienced a slight decline in the percentage of old age population

Saharanpur district lies between 29°34’45” N to 30°21’30”N latitudinal extent and 77°9’ E to 78°14’45” E longitudinal extent..Saharanpur forms the most northerly position of the Doab land which stretches between the holy rivers of the Ganges and the Yamuna. The Shivalik hills rise above it on the northern frontier. Saharanpur district attained the status as Saharanpur division in 1997 of Uttar Pradesh.

Temporal Change of Cropping Pattern in Western Uttar Pradesh

The agriculture sectors continue to predominate and contribute a large share of the western Uttar Pradesh output. Agriculture is the main source of livelihood to majority of the population of western Uttar Pradesh. More than 70 percent of population western Uttar Pradesh directly or indirectly is depended on agriculture and allied sectors. The aim of this study is to examine the cropping pattern in western Uttar Pradesh in Uttar Pradesh state. This paper also estimated the changing cropping pattern at the district level between 2000-01 to 2013-14. The data has been derived from the district statistical handbooks. The findings demonstrate that there is increase in the cropped area of wheat and rice crop, whereas maize and barley shows a decline in the cropped area

Spatial and Temporal Variation of Adult Age Group Population in India

The adult age group population holds a prime place in governing the demographic and socio­economic conditions of any country. It is the adult age group population with which all other characteristics of population are intimately related and from which they derive their significance. The adult age group includes people in the age group of 15-59 years. The proportion of adult age group population depends upon a variety of demographic and economic factors. Demographically, the birth rate, longevity of life and the migration behaviour are important. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the trend of adult age group population at state level from 1881-2001. It reveals that the proportion of adult age group population in the country increased from 56.34 per cent in 1881 census to 56.90 percent in 2001 census. However the trend shows that the proportion of adult age group population has not uniform from 1881 census to 2001 census
