Fertility Rates of Hindus and Muslims in India


The source of this data is from here

Literacy rate of the states as per 2011 record:

Bihar: 61.02 %
UP: 67.68 %
MP:69.32 %
Rajasthan: 66.11 %
Jharkhand: 67.73 %
Maharashtra: 82.34 %
Assam: 72.19 %
West Bengal: 72.86 %
Andhra Pradesh: 67.02 %
Goa: 88.70 %
Kerala: 94 %


The fertility rate of both Hindus and Muslims is lower in states like Goa and Kerala where literacy rate is relatively higher when compared to that of Bihar and UP (Uttar Pradesh) which also have higher fertility rate.
