The model was used to show the population projection changes within scenarios that combine different levels of these factors.<\/p>\n<p>8. If the projection is carried out while only explicitly accounting for age and sex, influential factors like higher education, associated with decreased fertility, are left out.<\/p>\n<p>9. Thus, a projection based on today\u2019s much higher fertility rate of uneducated and rural women predicts a drastically larger population in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India\u2019s population growth rate is overestimated: study News: By 2050, India is expected to surpass China as the world\u2019s most populous country.
