Expert: A major factor of course is 3)illiteracy. That's so high in the country that not many people realize the significance of small families and better quality of life. And then the poverty is quite high and we do find that amongst the lower economic groups, the number of children is quite high.
The report by the National Population Stabilization Fund said, “If India continues at the existing pace, its population will increase to 1.61 billion by 2050 with very serious consequences on 4)sustainable development of the country.” India's total population in 2009 was 1.19 billion people and China's was 1.34 billion.

根据印度政府的一份统计预测，在过去一百年里，印度人口增长了五倍，预计到2050年将超越中国。过去五年，印度人口增长了1.4%，而中国的人口增长率只有0.6%。
专家：文盲是导致印度人口剧增的一个主要因素。农村的文盲率非常高，很少人意识到小家庭和高质量生活的重要性，这导致了高贫困率。同时我们还发现，经济状况较差的家庭中，孩子的数量通常相当多。
这份由全国人口稳定基金会发布的报告称：“如果印度人口增长率维持在当前水平，到2050年，其人口将达到16.1亿，印度将面临严峻的可持续发展问题。”截至2009年，印度的总人口数为11.9亿，而中国是13.4亿。
专家：我们的失业率相当高。我们还要不断努力为更广泛的人群提供教育和医疗服务。我认为，总人口越多，我们面对的困难就越大。
报告指出，到2026年，印度人口将净增3.71亿。有趣的是，印度某些省的人口数相当于许多其他国家全国人口的总数。例如印度北方邦的人口为1.903亿，与巴西的全国人口总数1.937亿相近。
专家认为，导致印度人口迅速增长的主要原因包括高婴儿死亡率、早婚以及青少年早孕等。如果全社会不合力采取有效措施，印度人口过度引发的问题只会继续凸现。
