CHILD POPULATION (0-6 AGE GROUP)

CHILD POPULATION (0-6 AGE GROUP)

Data on child population in the age group 0-6 is primarily intended for calculating the effective
literacy rates. However it also allows us to broadly analyse possible linkages of child population
with growth of population. Higher levels of literacy and economic development, in addition
to adoption of family planning measures are important factors that have led to smaller family
sizes causing a decline in child population.
In Madhya Pradesh, total number of children in the age-group 0-6 years as per provisional
population totals of Census 2011 is 1,05,48,295; comprising 55,16,957 males and 50,31,338
females. In Census 2001, the total child population in the age group 0-6 years was
1,07,82,214 ; out of which 55,79,847 were males and 52,02,367 were females. There is a
net decline of 2,33,919 child population in the decade 2001-11. Statement below shows the
absolute figures and proportion of child population in the age group 0-6 years for India and
Madhya Pradesh.
