High level of birth rates and falling death rates.
16 % of world pop growth is from India (largest by 2050)
Population Growth rate (India):
1941-50 = 1.3% 1981-98 = 2%
Between 1990-2003: Population Growth rate
India 1.7%
China 1.0%
World 1.4%

Steep fall in death rate:
1911-20 = 49 per thousand
2001-02 = 8.1 per thousand
Birth rate:
1911-20 = 49 per thousand
2001-02 = 25 per thousand
Hence, higher growth rate in economy needed to
maintain the same std of living. (growing demands
of food, clothing, shelter, medicine, schooling etc.)
--Rising population = rising labour force leading
to unemployment = wastage

Industrial sector unable to expand fast to absorb thelabour force
But in developed economies: it is cyclical.
Agriculture: = disguised unemployment
No of non-farm employment in rural areas.
More than 2% of labour force=open unemployment8.43% = underemployment.Hence, total unemployment = 10.45% of labourforce.(more recent figures put it at 8.28%) about 34.74million

In an LDC usually mostmodern techniques existside by side with primitive
techs.
but as compared toDeveloped countries their
technological stds areinferior generallyaffects
their productivity.
basic conditions requiredfor absorption of new
and superior technologylike: basic edn.levels,
trained/skilledmanpower, and
adequate capital.
The low productivity perhectare in agri and low
labour productivity in agri+ industry = due to
technological
backwardness.
The poor farmers do nothave the means to buyimproved inputs, tools,not to speak of more
expensive machines liketractors, sowingmachines etc

Low calorie intake and low intake of protein
In 1996: The average calories intake of food was only2,415 whereas in most developed countries it was 3,400calories (minimum required for sustaining life is = 2,100
cal ). The average protein content of the Indian diet is only 44
grams/day while for developed world, it is double this.
In India cereals predominate (whereas in developedcountries, it is rich with intake of meat, fish, butter, sugar
and fruits) --Our cereal consumption is 470 calories/day against the
requirement of 400 cal/day per adult.
