    India’s population is 844m and expanding by almost 18m a year. This is alarming, except by African standards: India’s growth rate of 2.22% a year is far exceeded by Africa’s 3.2%.
    India spends $400m a year on birth control, much of which is wasted. Sterilization is undergone mainly by older people who have had families. Those who have the operation get a $5 reward.
    Small families are commonest in the cities. There health care is available and people can generally find some cash. Moreover, city Indians do not feel they need lots of children to look after them when they are old. Literacy seems to be a factor in keeping the family to a manageable size. In India as a whole literacy is 52%. But in the southern state of Kerala, where literacy exceeds 90%, the population growth is only 1.2% a year.
