  Rajasthan is the biggest State of India and is currently in the second phase
of demographic transition and is moving towards the third phase of demographic
transition with very slow pace. However, state's population will continue to
grow for a time period. Rajasthan's performance in the social and economic
sector has been poor in past. The poor performance is the outcome of poverty,
illiteracy and poor development, which co-exist and reinforce each other. There
are many demographic and socio-economic factors responsible for population
growth. This paper attempts to identify the demographic and socio-economic
variables, which are responsible for population growth in Rajasthan with the
help of multivariate analysis.
