Population in State to reach 10cr by 2041

The State’s population is likely to reach 10 to 10.5 crore by 2041 if the two-child norm is followed, says the Population Reference Bureau of United States. Interestingly, PRB says that the State’s population would actually decrease if the fertility continues to fall. The State’s population was estimated to be 7.62 crore in 2001. In the first scenario the population would touch 11.4 crore by 2101. In the second, it would be 8.8 crore. Andhra Pradesh constitutes 7.41 per cent of India’s population. By 2101 it will constitute only 5.23 per cent. Life expectancy will increase from 64.6 to 83.7 in 2101.
