how social structure and religious beliefs cause of population growth?
Answers
Answer:
The higher rate of population growth among Muslims compared with Hindus was projected by some as a threat, although careful analysis showed otherwise. The debate went even further and involved Christians, and how conversions could possibly explain the growth in their numbers.
In an Indian Express article, economist Surjit Bhalla argued that because of mass conversions, the share of Christians in India’s population had remained constant although those of Sikhs, who had similar income levels, had fallen between 1991 and 2001.
Rebutting his claim, journalist Tony Joseph argued that such conclusions change dramatically depending on which time period one chooses, and which religious group is considered the reference group. Joseph also pointed out that differences in sex ratios can account for the differences in population growth between Sikhs and Christians.
