The present study attempts to analyze the decadal variation of population growth, socio-economic
condition and quality of life of the people in Birbhum District, West Bengal, India. It has been well accepted
that if the amount of resource available within a country does not feed its total inhabitants due to excessive
population in comparison to existing resource, quality of life of individual and socio-economy of that area
collapse, which is very often found in developing nations of the world. Consequently, well being of common
people through provision of basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, education, and health is obstructed. This
adversely affects the quality of life of an individual. Increasing rate of population growth brings reduction in
per capita income of people by creating pressure on land, making consumer product costlier and decreasing
national capital. Moreover, the increase in the population growth rate due to high fertility, low mortality and
inflow of migrants prevent improved quality of life also. Among others factors influencing Quality of Life (QOL)
in particular and socio-economic development and human well being in general are literacy, dietary pattern,
transportation, and health service etc., the assessment of which reveals that study area turns out to be one of
the backward districts of West Bengal where socio-economy and quality of life are of unfortunate character due
to excessive population growth and inconsistent infrastructural development that cannot keep pace with the
population increase.
Key words: Human development, population growth, quality of life, socio-economic development, , ,
