Notes de l'éditeur

  1. If compared to Kerala we can see a decrease in death rates even in the last decades. In Kerala this decline stopped roughly in the late 70s. In addition the decline in birth rates is more remarkable in Kerala than in India.
  2. Some critiques to the educational hypothesis refer to horizontal disparities. The table shows disparities in educational level among different social groups. More in general there are disparities across regions. In some districts, literacy rates for women are lower than those for mes. But if we compare data between India and Kerala, the latter performs better. There are still some marginalised communities and in these cases education is seen as the main opportunity for improvement. Some groups have lower literacy rates than others. The disparity is more evident especially on secondary education onwards. However, the report shows how these differences are reducing and shows optimism on possible improvements.
