Census of India • Data on age is collected since the first Census in1872 • Up to Census 2001, a direct question on age was recorded • In Census 1991, Tables on age were published based on a sample tabulation of 10% forms • In Census 2001, Tables on age were published on full count basis • In Census 2011, for the first time, data on both date of birth and age has been recorded • Results on age in Census 2011 have been compiled based on responses in these two questions on a full count basis

  25. Dependency Ratio

  26. Dependency Ratio • Dependency Ratio = • (No. of persons in age group 0-14 years + No. of persons in age group 60 years or more) ÷ No. of persons in age group 15-59 years • Dependency Ratio can be divided in 2 parts: • Young dependency ratio • Old dependency ratio • Dependency Ratio gives the proportion of persons whom the persons in economically active age group need to support • Reduction in Dependency Ratio indicates a phase of population transition where a higher percentage of persons in the working age group may translate into higher per capita income for the economy • This is also called the phase where a country may benefit from ‘Demographic Dividend’

  27. Dependency Ratio • Dependency Ratio has reduced in all the States and UTs • At the all-India level, it has reduced by 100 points compared to 2001

  28. Dependency RatioIndia : 1991 to 2011

  29. Young Dependency RatioIndia : 1991 to 2011 • . • Young Dependency Ratio = • No. of persons in age group 0-14 years ÷ No. of persons in age group 15-59 years • Reduction in YDR in 2001-11 is sharper than that for the decade 1991-2001

  35. Measurement of Age accuracy Respondents prefer to report age ending with 0 or5 Whipples Index or the Index of Concentration is calculated to measure extent of digit preference Ideally the Index should be around 100 It was 230 in Census 2001 To improve quality of age data, a question on date of birth was added in Census 2011 Whipple’s Index for India has reduced to 171 in Census 2011 The reduction is more for females compared to males
