MAJOR TRENDS

• TOTAL POPULATION

The total population of NCT Delhi as per the provisional figures is about 1.68 crores as compared to the total population as per Census 2001 of 1.38 crores, thus exhibiting a decadal growth rate of 21%. This is far lesser than the growth rate of the previous decade, 1991 to 2001, of about 47%. It thus appears that the population growth of NCT Delhi is now showing a tendency towards stabilization.

CHILD (0-6) POPULATION

• Another major contributory factor for the trend towards stabilization appears to be the sharp fall in fertility brought in evidence from the magnitude of 0-6 population, which is about 19.7 lakhs as opposed to about 20.2 lakhs in 2001. Thus the absolute number of children 0-6 is lower than it was in 2001, even though the base population has since increased by about 30 lakhs. This trend is fairly uniform across all nine districts, as is evident from the Table below:

POPULATION DENSITY• The overall population density of Delhi has increased from

9340 persons per sq km in 2001 to 11297 persons per sq km in 2011, as shown in Table 1. The variation in population density across the nine districts is shown in the graph below:

OVERALL SEX RATIO

• There has been a substantial increase in the overall sex ratio, from 821 in 2001 to 866 in 2011. This can only be fully explained upon further study of the complete census data. It may, however, indicate that a larger proportion of migrants coming into Delhi for work reasons are women compared to the situation ten years back, when there was a tendency for men to come in for work while women stayed back in the village.

CHILD (0-6) SEX RATIO

• The child (0-6) sex ratio has dipped marginally from 868 in 2001 to 866 in 2011. This indicates that while the situation has not appreciably worsened in this regard, much more efforts are needed to bring the child sex ratio in Delhi at par with the national figure. The following table D depicts the district wise Child Sex ratio, 2011 compared to that of 2001.
