Abstract

The study of demography is vital to understand the changes occurring in the composition of population growth through various dimensions and its consequences on the socio-economic sectors of the regions. It acts as an accelerating factor and a stimulant towards economic growth and at the same time bears evil effects leading to low level of economic development across the regions. According to the 2011 census of India, the total population of Karnataka is 6.25 crores. Of this, 50.9% are male and 49.1% are female. There is a decadal increase in population of 17.3% from 1991 to 2001. As per 2011 census, the Population density is 319 per km², the c is 973 females to 1000 males and 38.67% of the people in Karnataka live in urban areas. The literacy rate is 75.4% (as per the 2011 census). As per the 2001 census, the eight largest cities of Karnataka in order of their population are Bengaluru, Hubballi-Dharwad, Mysuru, Belagavi, Kalburgi, Mangaluru, Davanagere and Ballari.BengaluruUrban and Belagavi are the most populous Districts, each of them having a population of more than three million. Gadag, Chamarajanagara and Kodagu districts have a population of less than a million.This paper mainly focuses on analysing the demographic changes and growth in India in comparison with Karnataka state.
