Explanation
The Uttar Pradesh Population (Control, Stabilisation and Welfare) Bill, 2021, was introduced in conjunction with the Uttar Pradesh Population Policy 2021–2030. The policy and the draft bill outline specific demographic targets for the state.
- Statement 1 is correct: The policy aims to reduce the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) to 2.1 by the year 2026 and further to 1.9 by 2030. Although the question uses the phrasing "per thousands population" (the unit for Crude Birth Rate), it refers to the TFR target of 2.1.
- Statement 2 is correct: At the time of the bill's introduction, the state's fertility rate was estimated at 2.7 (based on NFHS-4 data and state reports).
The bill proposes a two-child norm, offering incentives like increments and subsidies for compliance, while imposing restrictions on government jobs and local body elections for those with more than two children.
