Demographic transition refers to change in pattern of population. Given the divergities in grades, demographic transition is also viewed showing a double edged sword.
Different pace of demographic transition
1Replacement level of 2.1 TFR reached easily in Southern states than in North (NFHS 5)
2Lower Mortality (Maternal) & Infant in South than in North (9/1000 in J&L - Maternal & 64/1000 in UP - monthly)
3Higher Human development indicators in Southern region compared to Northern region
4Faster urbanisation pace in Western India compared to other regions
