Demographic Characteristics of Haryana in Post Reform Period (1991 To 2011)

As per Malthusian theory, population is dynamic and its growth rate is geometric growth and it is the urge of human population to change it by natural force and it is also control of natural forces. Demographic Characteristics determined by natural factors, geographical factors, climatic factors and socio-economic factors. Birth and death are demographic natural events while migration is a socio-economic factor of demographic changes in a particular geographic region. Demographic characteristics of the any geographic region are also determined by age sex population structure and distribution. Sharma (2008) has stated that social progression referred to matters of social fairness, social consistency and value of population. The previous study in Haryana by Rani and Tali (2017) studied on determinants of spatial pattern of Sex ratio in the state. They founded that sex ratio is an important parameter for analysis of demographic and cultural development. They used backward step regression model which is based on secondary data is collected from census of India (2011). They further stated that changes in sex ratio largely that reflect the underlying socio-economic and culture patterns of a society in different ways. They found that determinants of changes in sex ratio vary from sex differentials in mortality, sex selective migration, sex ratio at birth times and sex differentials in population enumeration. They suggested that it is realized that no economic policy instrument in the form of grant of monetary benefits for the girl’s family or any policy of social change can improve the sex ratio in the favour of females and apart from other policy measures an internal change in the outlook of the people is urgently arranged. Sharma (2008) further explained that development is not uniform in Haryana. Development is depending upon the demographic characteristics of the state or region.
