6.4 Population, employment and human development notes

1. 6.4.1Population and employment: workforce, labour participation and migration

   Telangana has about 3.5 crore people (Census 2011), slow population growth and a large working-age group; more of its people are in the labour force than the national average, but unemployment is also higher, farm work still employs about two in five workers, and migration runs both into Hyderabad and out to the Gulf and other states.

2. 6.4.2Health and education: indicators, institutions and outcomes

   Telangana has cut infant deaths by half since 2014 and leads India in higher-education enrolment, but child malnutrition, anaemia, very high caesarean rates, a recent rise in maternal deaths and uneven school quality remain its main human-development gaps.

3. 6.4.3Poverty, inequality, regional disparities and social development indicators

   Telangana's poverty has fallen sharply (multidimensional poverty from 13.2% to 5.9% between 2015-16 and 2019-21) and its households spend more than the Indian average, but income is heavily concentrated in Hyderabad and its neighbouring districts, while forest and tribal districts in the north and east lag behind.
