Answer

Birth-rate: The number of children born per every $1000$ persons during any given year is known as birth-rate.Birth-rate $=\frac{\text { The number of live-births in a given year }}{\text { Total population }} \times 1000$ Birth-rate is not measured on the basis of percentage but on the basis of rise in population per $1000$ persons. The birth-rate data helps in deciding the population policy.
Year Birth rate$($Per $1000$ persons$)$
$1951$ $39.9$
$2011$ $21.8$
YearBirth rate$($Per $1000$ persons$)1951-39.9,2011-21.8$ Analysis and conclusion: In $1951,$ the birth-rate in India was $39.9.$
This decreased to $21.8.$ The difference between these two years is $39.9 – 21.8 =18.1.$
Although the birth-rate has reduced, the reduction is less. The main reasons for this are low level of education, preference for male child, low income levels, etc.
