India Overview

India is a continent masquerading as a country. Within a generation it will become the most populous country on earth: its population is likely to peak at some 1.6 billion by mid-century. In the past couple of years the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has become more dominant, in large part thanks to the rise of Narendra Modi. Today’s ‪#‎Dailychart‬assesses India http://econ.st/1c9fN9y

「 In India’s south and along the western coasts people are by and large wealthier, healthier, better educated and there are slower-growing populations of smaller families. The islands of the worst poverty, and the greatest social and environmental problems, are in the landlocked and massive northern states, such as Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. In such states average incomes per year are still counted in just a few hundreds of dollars and populations continue to expand fast http://econ.st/1c9fN9y 」

「 India’s population is likely to peak at some 1.6 billion by mid-century. As now, it will then have roughly one-sixth of all humanity within its borders http://econ.st/1c9fN9y 」

「 Rates of infant mortality have been falling across India: on average, in 2013, there were 40 deaths in the first year of life out of every 1,000 live births. That is still high by international standards, but markedly better than the rate of 60 in 2003 http://econ.st/1c9fN9y 」

「 In the past couple of years the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has become more dominant, in large part thanks to the rise of Narendra Modi. The BJP has won several state elections since the end of 2013 and now controls large swathes of territory, stretching mostly across the west and the north. The biggest political question is whether one of the two massive northern states, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar might fall again into the control of the BJP or whether they remain under the control of independent, regional parties http://econ.st/1c9fN9y 」
