Abstract
The fast-increasing population in developing countries has been a cause of concern worldwide. The imbalance between population and resources poses serious problems and act as a barrier to the socio-economic development of the country. The paper intends to make a demographic comparison between the two developing countries in transition, India and Iran, in which India is the second-most populous country in the world and Iran, the most populous one in the West Asian region. An attempt will be made to find out the differences and similarities between the demographic arenas of the two countries through a comparison of selected demographic parameters.
