Introduction to Graph

Population projection is a scienti ic attempt to predict what a population will be in the future. The
prediction is based on past and current population, fertility rate, mortality rate and migration.
Based on population projection for 2011 - 2036, changes in the age structure of the Indian
population are shown in the graph below.

The population of the country is categorised into three broad age groups, 0-14 years, 15-59 years
and 60+years.
