Due to the absence of reliable vital statistics for Indian districts, fertility levels are assessed using a set of indirect methods. Using mortality estimates and the child population aged 0-6 years to estimate the number of births during the seven years preceding the census, figures for crude birth rates and fertility rates are derived for all Indian districts. The results are compared with those derived from the 2001 Census. Our analysis points, in particular, to the significant population overcount in Jammu and Kashmir during the 2011 Census and the continuous but extremely slow process of fertility decline in India. specialized FECONDITE NAISSANCE REPRODUCTION DEMOGRAPHIE MORTALITE INFANTILE ENQUETE STATISTIQUE RECENSEMENT ENFANT PREVISION DEMOGRAPHIQUE PERSPECTIVE DEMOGRAPHIQUE FERTILITE TAUX DE REPRODUCTION AGE INDE JAMMU AND KASHMIR 108DEMOG1 48 23 59-70 2013 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010063777 [F B010063777] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010063777 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2015-04-29/010063777.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2015-04-29 2023-07-17 fdi:010063777 fre
