Question

With roughly 1.3 billion people, India is the world’s second most populous country. It will soon pass China and become the world’s most populous state. As seen in the longitudinal chart of "Urbanization" above, how many of India’s people live in rural areas (you can also drill down to the "Urbanization" variable under "Demographic Dynamic")? Roughly half Roughly two thirds About 90% Under one quarter

Answer 1

Answer:

Roughly two thirds

Explanation:

According to most recent data provided by international organizations like the World Bank, and also by the Indian government, roughly two thirds of India's population lives in rural areas. more specifically, 65.9%. (two thirds of a 100% is 66.7%).

We can see that the majority of population in India is still rural, but this is estimated to change in the near future. In the following decades, more and more Indians will leave the countryside and move to urban areas, seeking better economic opportunities. This will create an upward trend in the rate of urbanization in India.
