Answer

Death-rate:
The number of persons per every $1000$ persons during any given year is known as death-rate.
Death-rate $=\frac{\text { No. of people died in a given year }}{\text { Total population }} \times 1000$
  • Death-rate is not measured on the basis of percentage but on the basis of number of deaths per $1000$ persons.
  • The fall in population can be understood from the death-rate.
  • By measuring the total deaths in a year the reduction in the population can be understood.
Death-rate in India
Year Death rate $($per $1000$ persons$)$
$1951$ $27.4$
$2011$ $07.1$
Year Birth rate$($Per $1000$ persons$)1951\ 39.9\ 2011\ 21.8$
Year Death rate $($per $1000$ persons$)\ 1951\ 27.4\ 2011\ 07.1$
Analysis and conclusion:
In $1951$ the death-rate in India was $27.4.$
This reduced to $7.1$ in $2011.$ The difference between these two years is $27.4 – 7.1 = 20.3.$
The fall in death-rate is much higher than the fall in birth-rate which is $18.1$ for the same period.
The main reasons for reduction in death-rate are control over famines, improvement in quality of life, availability of nutritional food, increase and improvement in medical services, increases in education and its spread, improvement in medical science, research in the field of surgery, control of infectious diseases, etc.
