Population class 9 geography MCQ & SAQ
Population class 9 geography NCERT SOLUTION:
Question-1
Why is the rate of population growth in India declining since 1981?
Solution:
Since 1981, however, the rate of growth started declining gradually. During this period, birth rates declined rapidly. Still 182 million people were added to the total population in the 1990s alone.
Question-2
Discuss the major components of population growth.
Solution:
There are three main components of population growth are birth rates, death rates, and migration.
Question-3
Define age structure, death rate, and birth rate.
Solution:
The birth rate is the number of live births per thousand persons in a year. It is a major component of growth because, in India, birth rates have always been higher than death rates.
The death rate is the number of deaths per thousand persons in a year.
The age composition of a population refers to the number of people in different age groups in a country.
Question-4
How is migration a determinant factor of population change?
Solution:
Migration is the movement of people across regions and territories. Migration can be internal (within the country) or international (between the countries). Internal migration does not change the size of the population but influences the distribution of population within the nation. Migration plays a very significant role in changing the composition and distribution of a population.
Question-5
Distinguish between population growth and population change.
Solution:
Population growth
Growth of population refers to the change in the number of inhabitants of a country/territory during a specific period of time, say during the last ten years. Such a change can be expressed in two ways: in terms of absolute numbers and in terms of percentage change per year.
Population change
There are three main processes of change of population: birth rates, death rates, and migration. The natural increase of population is the difference between birth rates and death rates.
The birth rate is the number of live births per thousand persons in a year. The death rate is the number of deaths per thousand persons in a year. The third component of population growth is migration.
Migration is the movement of people across regions and territories. Migration can be internal (within the country) or international (between the countries). Internal migration does not change the size of the population but influences the distribution of population within the nation. Migration plays a very significant role in changing the composition and distribution of population
Question-6
What is the relation between occupational structure and development?
Solution:
The percentage of a population that is economically active is an important index of development. The distribution of the population according to different types of occupation is referred to as the occupational structure. An enormous variety of occupations are found in any country. The proportion of people working in different activities varies in developed and developing countries.
Developed nations have a high proportion of people in secondary, and tertiary activities. Developing countries tend to have a higher proportion of their workforce engaged in primary activities. In India, about64 percent of the population is engaged only in agriculture.
The proportion of the population dependent on secondary and tertiary sectors is about 13 and 20 percent respectively. There has been an occupational shift in favor of secondary and tertiary sectors because of growing industrialization and urbanization in recent times.
Question-7
What are the advantages of having a healthy population?
Solution:
Health is an important component of population composition, which affects the process of development. Sustained efforts of government programmes have registered significant improvements in the health conditions of the Indian population.
Death rates have declined from 25 per 1000 population in 1951 to 8.1 per 1000 in 2001 and life expectancy at birth has increased from 36.7 years in 1951 to 64.6 years in 2001.
The substantial improvement is the result of many factors including improvement in public health, prevention of infectious diseases and application of modern medical practices in the diagnosis and treatment of ailments. Despite considerable achievements, the health situation is a matter of major concern for India.
The per capita calorie consumption is much below the recommended levels and malnutrition afflicts a large percentage of our population. Safe drinking water and basic sanitation amenities are available to only one-third of the rural population. These problems need to be tackled through an appropriate population policy.
Question-8
What are the significant features of the National Population Policy 2000?
Solution:
The significant features of the National Population Policy 2000 are:
1. NPP 2000 identified adolescents as one of the major sections of the population that need greater attention.
2. Besides nutritional requirements, the policy puts greater emphasis on other important needs of adolescents including protection from unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
3. It called for programmes that aim towards encouraging delayed marriage and child-bearing, education of adolescents about the risks of unprotected sex, making contraceptive services accessible and affordable, providing food supplements, nutritional services, strengthening legal measures to prevent child marriage.

Very densely populated – Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh. Very sparse population—Sikkim Lakshadweep, Rajasthan, Arunachal Pradesh.
Moderately population – States like Assam and Peninsular states.
(c) The dense population is due to fertile, flat land and favorable climate. On the other hand, hilly areas or regions with low rainfall do not allow people to settle there.
What were the causes of the uneven population in India? [CBSE 2016]
Answer:
The population of India is unevenly distributed in India because of the following reasons:
(a) Relief of the land: Where there are mountains and rugged relief the population is sparse. Flat and fertile land favors the population density.
(b) Climate: Less people live in cold climates, in very hot climates and where it is dry. More people live in areas where the climate is favorable.
(c) In regions where the industrial development is more the population is dense as occupations are more. Moreover, the transport facilities also favor the growth of population.
How does migration play an important role in population growth? Explain the ‘pull’ and ‘push’ factors of migration.
Answer:
Migration leads to steady increase in the percentage of population especially in the cities and towns. It not only changes the population size but also the population composition.

Children (generally below 15 years) are economically unproductive and have to be provided with food, clothing, education and medical care as the future of the country depends upon them. Adults (15-59 years) form the working population of the country, the progress and development of the country depends upon them.
Aged (above 59 years) They may have retired but they may work voluntarily.
Explain any three differences between a dependent and productive population.
Answer:
Give reasons for low sex ratio in India.
Answer:
India’s sex ratio according to 2011 census is 943 females per thousand males. It is unfavorable due to:
(a) early marriages and social evils like dowry deaths. Female children are neglected.
(b) illiteracy among females is high. They have no knowledge about prenatal and post-natal care.

Literacy is an important quality of a population as only an informed and educated citizen can make intelligent choices and undertake research and development projects. Not much economic development can take place with low literacy levels.
Explain the occupational structure of India.
Answer:
India has the following occupational structure:
(a) Primary-Agriculture: Majority of population in India is engaged in agriculture. This has given rise to disguised unemployment.
(b) Secondary-Industries: A little more than 10% of the Indian population is engaged in the secondary sector which is less than countries of Europe. Production activities and not equally developed.
This leads to heavy dependence on primary sectors which itself is not so developed. This
leads to an unbalanced economy.

What are the advantages of having a healthy population? In spite of the efforts of the government, the health situation in India is a matter of great concern. Why?
Answer:
A healthy population can only provide the welfare and well-being of a society.
A healthy population only bears a healthy mind to have responsible citizens and to contribute to the economic development of the country.
Despite the achievements made a large percentage of the population still suffers from malnutrition. Safe drinking water and basic sanitation facilities are available to a very small percentage of the rural population.
Why is too much attention and care required for the adolescent population?
Answer:
For the following reasons too much attention and care is required for adolescent population:
Adolescent population constitutes l/5th of the total population of India. Adolescents are generally grouped in the age group of 10-19 years. They are the most important resources of the future. Nutrition requirements of adolescents are higher than those of a normal child or adult.
Poor nutrition can lead to deficiency and stunted growth but in India, the diet available to adolescents is inadequate in all nutrients. A large number of adolescent girls suffer from anemia. Their problems have so far not received adequate attention in the process of development.
Explain how the quality of people is more important than quantity of people. [CBSE 2011]
Answer:
Quality of people refers to the education, knowledge, skills of the people. The people are healthy and lead an active life. They put in more working hours and contribute more to the national income of the country. Quantity of people refers to the total population of the country. Many do not get adequate health facilities, per capita calorie consumption is much below the recommended level Safe drinking water and sanitation may not be available to them. Many may not get education and mostly are manual workers. Therefore a small mentally-developed population with a healthy body is more important than a large population.
Population class 9 geography long question
.1 Distinguish between: Growth rate and Birth rate. Ans
Q.2 Write a short note on the population distribution in India.
Ans India is a vast country having diverse types of relief patterns, soils and climatic conditions. Owing to this fact, it is usual to have uneven distribution of population.
1.Climate: Areas having moderate climate have more population than the areas having extreme climatic conditions.
2.Types of Soil: India’s northern plains are made up of alluvial soil which are very fertile and are densely populated. On the other hand hilly areas and deserts are sparsely populated.
3.Opportunity for jobs: Urban areas are thickly populated because of the good job.
4. Religious and historical places: Like Allahabad, Varanasi, Rameshwaram, Agra, etc. are also thickly populated areas.
Q.3 Give a brief account of the economic advantages and disadvantages of a large population.
Ans Advantages of large population: - A large population makes a positive contribution to economic growth because of availability of larger manpower for productive activities in the fields of secondary, tertiary and quaternary sectors.
Disadvantages of large population:
i) Per capita income goes down as the national income is distributed among a larger number of people.
ii) Consumption trend gets upward, reducing the size of savings.
iii) Increasing population results in increased pressure on land and it adversely affects productivity in agriculture.
iv) Poverty and unemployment conditions increase day by day.
Q.4 Describe the basic factors affecting the population of India. Ans The basic factors affecting the population of India are:
i) Birth rate – It is the number of births per 1000 individuals of a country’s population per annum. It increases both population size and population density.
ii) Death rate – It is expressed as the number of deaths per 1000 individuals of a nation’s population per
year. It decreases both population size and density.
iii) Immigration – It is the entry of more individuals into a local population of a species in a specific area from outside due to more favorable conditions in that area.
iv) Emigration – It is the departure of some individuals from a local population to another area due to unfavorable conditions in the former. It decreases the population size of that area.
Q.5 What is the concept of value education adopted under national population policy, 2000 in India? Mention its components.
Ans Concept of value education is primarily aimed to inculcate moral, environmental, educational, democratic and literary values in the individuals. It is for the improvement of individuals themselves as well as of society, nation and universe as a whole.

Why is population very important in a country? [HOTS]
Or
Why is population a pivotal element in social studies?
Answer:
(a) The people are important to develop the economy and society.
(b) The people make and use the resources and are themselves resources with varying quality.
(c) It is the point of reference from which all other elements are observed and from which they derive significance and meaning. ‘Resources’, ‘calamities’ and ‘disasters’ are all meaningful only in relation to human beings.
(d) Their numbers, distributions, growth and characteristics or qualities provide the basic background for understanding and appreciating all aspects of the environment.
(e) Human beings are producers and consumers of earth’s resources. Therefore, it is very important to know how many people are there in a country, where do they live, how and why are their numbers increasing and what are their characteristics.
Define the following terms:
Answer:
(a) Population. The total number of people living in a country at a given point of time.
(b) Census. Process of collection, compilation and publication of information relating to different aspects of people living in a country at a specific point of time.
(c) Million plus cities/Mega Cities. Cities with a population of one million and above. There are 53 million plus cities in India, e.g. Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Bengaluru.
(d) Urban Agglomeration. Around the core of each town or city, clusters of urban settlements have developed which are linked to the economy of the country .They are known as urban agglomerations. They are extensions of cities but are not covered by defined municipal limits.
(e) Sex Ratio. Number of females per thousand males in the population.
What is meant by annual growth rate of population? Why is even a low annual growth rate of population considered not good for India? [HOTS]
Answer:
It is the percentage increase in the growth of population per year. The rate or pace of population increase is studied in percent per year. Rate of increase of 2% per annum means that in a given year, there was an increase of two persons for every 100 persons in the base population. This is referred to as the annual growth rate. India’s population has been steadily increasing from 361 million in 1951 to 1210 million in 2011.
It is essential to realize that India has a very large population. When a low annual rate is applied to a large population, it becomes a very high absolute number. When more than a billion people increase even at a lower rate, the total numbers being added becomes very large.
Describe the classification of occupational structure. How does occupational structure indicate economic development of a country?
Answer:
It is generally classified into primary, secondary and tertiary activities.
Primary activities include agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, fishing, mining, quarrying etc.
Secondary activities include manufacturing industry, building and construction work etc.
Tertiary activities include transport, communications, commerce, administration and other services.
Developed nations have a high proportion of people in secondary and tertiary activities because it is more productive and profitable.
Developing countries tend to have a higher proportion of their workforce engaged in primary activities because these are not as productive and profitable as the other sectors.
In India, about 64% of the population is engaged only in agriculture. The proportion of population dependent on
secondary and tertiary sectors are about 13 to 20% respectively.
