Children in the age group of 0-18 constitute ...................... percentage of the total population, according to 2011 census of India.

  • A.46%
  • B.39%
  • C.28%
  • D.18%

Answer: B

Children aged 0-18 made up about 39% of India's population in Census 2011.

Census 2011 counted about 472 million children below 18 years out of a total population of about 1.21 billion, which is roughly 39%. Of these, about 164 million were in the 0-6 age group, about 13.6% of the population.

46% overstates the share, and 28% and 18% are closer to the shares of narrower age groups (18% is close to the share of adolescents aged 10-19 alone), not of all children up to 18.
