| Article Name : | | | REGIONAL VARIATIONS IN POPULATION AGEING AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN KARNATAKA | | Author Name : | | | K. Saritha , B.

This has lead to changes in the age structure; decreasing youth population and increasing old age population. The aims of this paper are to examine the regional variations in Population Ageing and to find out relationship between Population
Ageing and Human Development. For this purpose Ageing Index has been worked out and district level Human Development data has been used. With the help of Ageing index and human development index the study has identified three different stages
in population ageing and human development. They are 'Youth stage', 'Intermediate stage' and 'Old stage' in terms of population ageing and 'High', 'Medium' and 'Low development' regions in terms of human development. Northern Karnataka region is in 'Infant stage', Southern Karnataka region is in 'Mature stage' (adolescence) and Coastal Karnataka region is in
'Ripe stage' with respect to both the Population Ageing and Human development. The Pearson's correlation has been used to examine the relationship between the population ageing and human development. The study revealed with some exceptions they are positively correlating each other. | | Keywords : | | - population ageing
