Table C-14 Population in Five Year Age-Group by Residence and Sex

Description It is well known that one of the most fundamental characteristics of the population composition is its age-sex structure. Almost all population characteristics vary considerably with age. Age statistics are very important as most of the analysis of population characteristics is performed according to sex and age. Age and sex structure of the population provide an insight of the past, present and even the future demographic history

A question on age has been regularly canvassed in successive censuses starting from 1872. In 2001 population census also, the age on last birthday by sex was canvassed from every individual. The age-sex composition of the population presented in this publication is based on the processing and tabulation of actual data captured from each and every 202 million household schedules. The generation of basic data on age-sex composition for the Census 2001, is a fully computerized exercise starting from the automatic capture of data from the Household Schedule through scanning to the compilation of final tables.

Tables are found: X:\DataSets\Census\India Census 2001\2001 Age Data - Figures C14
Table of contents Table C 14: Population in five year age-group by residence and sex (Level: India, state/ union territory, district and city)
