CHAPTER 3
DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF
POPULATION
___________________________________________________
3.1 Introduction:
The study of population characteristic is one of the most
important topics in the geographical analysis of any region. The element of
man has many facts, but the most fundamental is its number, distribution and
movement aspects. All these are the fabric of demography. It is therefore,
essential to study the human groups composed of man, as a molecule of the
society, in terms of distribution of rural population, literacy, sex ratio,
workforce and other various demographic aspects (Chandna, 2001)1.
Population can change through three processes: fertility, mortality, and
migration. Fertility involves the number of children that women have and is to
be contrasted with fecundity (a woman's childbearing potential). Mortality is
the study of the causes, consequences, and measurement of processes affecting
death to members of the population. Demographers most commonly study
mortality using the Life Table, a statistical device which provides information
about the mortality conditions (most notably the life expectancy) in the
population.
The distribution of population is not uniform in the study region.
The population concentration is high in some areas while it is low in other
areas. Population growth is the most fundamental demographic process with
which all other demographic attributes are directly or indirectly associated.
Population growth determines the density, distribution pattern and composition
of population. Population growth is the change in population over time, it can
be quantified as the change in number of individuals in a population using per
unit of time. A certain timeframe for calculating growth is considered. In India
census is conducted to calculate the population after every 10 years. People are
-53 to be equipped and trained to achieve progress in economic and social fields.
Almost all countries of the world give special importance on human resource
development. Population of a country is the total number of people living in
that country at a given time period.
Population is the basic element of the country. One can never
think of a state or country without a resident population. Population also plays
an important role in modern economic development. It is the most potent
resource which can alter the entire face of the country, if utilized prudently.
Not only it provides trained and skilled man-power for economic
reconstruction but like other natural resources it can be exported to earn regular
income and meet financial crisis. But an illiterate and unskilled population full
of ethnic diversities poses a number of problems whose solution is always
difficult to find out. Fast growing population accompanied with maladies of
overpopulation not only disturbs the peace and tranquility of the region or the
country to which it belongs but may pose serious threat to even the survival of
the mankind. That is why population planning and human resource
development have become the major topics of debate in today’s world,
particularly in developing countries like India (Tiwari, R.C.)2.
The determinant of population characteristics also have spatial variation
moreover population in its varied aspects extents a powerful influence in
evolving the total character of an area. It is pivotal element in geography
around which all other phenomena are oriented man’s interest in studying his
own species is an usual thing, since nothing is more important to man than the
man himself and also most of the characteristics of population are quantifiable
and map able.
3.2 Spatial Analysis of Population:
Table 3.1 shows the total population for India, Maharashtra, and
Khandesh and Jalgaon District as per census 1961 to 2001. While observing the
1961 census data, we find that India’s population was 439234771, the

‘The marital status is a good indicator of social, economic and
cultural conditions in specific social groups, but is particularly reflective of the
social groups of castes’(Toyne and Newbay 1971)3. The characteristics of the
marital status help to distinguish the Muslim from general population.
Similarly major castes among Muslims can be identified on the basis of their
marital status. The marital status reflects the socio-economic and cultural
attributes to different castes. The proportion of different categories like
Unmarried, married, widowed and divorced influence the sex ratio.
