Life Expectancy
 |
| This graph indicates that India has a smaller life expectancy rate than China. |
Population
 |
| This graph shows how much the population is rising at very high numbers. Recently, the numbers have reached the highest point to date, in 2015. |
Sex Population

The Central Intelligence Agency explains this chart in great detail; when a population pyramid illustrates the
age and sex structure of a country's population and may provide
insights about political and social stability, as well as economic
development. The population is distributed along the horizontal axis,
with males shown on the left and females on the right. The male and
female populations are broken down into 5-year age groups represented as
horizontal bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups
at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population
pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality, and
international migration trends.Other statistics I found interesting:
Life Expectancy at birth
total population: 67.8 years
male: 66.68 years
female: 69.06 years (2014 est.)
Mother's mean age at first birth: 19.9% Gross national income per capita: 5,300 Area: 3,287,270 Literacy Percent: 60 Dark Facts About India:-About half of the total maternal deaths occur because of hemorrhage and sepsis. A large number of deaths are preventable through safe deliveries and adequate maternal care.
-More than half of all married women are anaemic and one-third of them are malnourished (have a body index below normal).-Globally, every year over 500,000 women die of pregnancy related causes and 99 percent of these occur in developing countries.
After looking at these graphs, I found it very interesting to notice the numbers that coincide with the information. Since India is very poor, I was not really that surprised to see that men and women only lived until roughly 65 years old.
