Muslim fertility rate in India: According to Delhi-based think tank CSDS, the fertility rate of Muslim women is higher than that of Hindus, if 100 Hindu women give birth to 213 children, then 100 Muslim women give birth to 261 children. After Hindus, Muslims have the largest population in India, but if we look at the fertility rate of Hindu women and Muslim women, the figures are opposite.
According to Delhi-based think tank CSDS, the fertility rate of Muslim women in the country is higher than that of Hindu women, that is, Muslim women give birth to comparatively more children.
According to CSDS, the female fertility rate among Hindus is 2.13, among Muslims it is 2.61. The fertility rate among Muslim women is 0.28 higher than that of Hindu women.
According to the report, if 100 Hindu women give birth to 213 children, then this figure among Muslim women is around 261.
According to Pew Research, fertility rates have declined across all religions in the country between 1952 and 2015. Fertility rates have also declined among Muslims, but they still have the highest fertility rates compared to other religions.
According to the report, the fertility rate among Muslim women has almost halved in the 63 years between 1952 and 2015.
According to Pew Research, the fertility rate for Muslim women was 4.4 in 1952, which has almost halved in 2015.
As far as Hindus are concerned, their fertility rate has declined by 1.2 during this period. While this figure was 3.3 in 1952, it became 2.1 in 2015.
If we compare the fertility rate of women of both religions, then in 63 years the fertility rate of Muslim women has decreased more than that of Hindu women.
Despite this decline, Muslim women have the highest fertility rates among Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Jains and Buddhists.
