On the basis of its demographic characteristics, India is classified in the late expanding stage of the population cycle. This stage is characterized by a high birth rate and a decreasing death rate, resulting in rapid population growth. In this stage, the population pyramid is broad at the base, indicating a large proportion of young individuals, and tapers towards the top, indicating a smaller proportion of elderly individuals. India`s demographic characteristics align with this stage as it still has a high birth rate, but the death rate has been decreasing due to advancements in healthcare and sanitation. This has resulted in a growing population with a significant proportion of young individuals.
