Demographic shift in Punjab? Dip in population growth rate
Monday, 16 October 2023 Punjab's population growth rate has been declining over the past decade, with the annual addition to the population falling by 50% from 2011 to 2020. The state's population growth rate of 1.65% is lower than the national average of 2.98%. The decline in population growth is attributed to young Punjabis emigrating abroad and settling there, while migrants from other states in Punjab are contributing to the birth rate. This trend may have a significant impact on the Sikh population, which has already been declining nationally. There is also a visible trend of Muslim migration to Punjab due to its communal stability.
