Indians have reduced their birth rate but not nearly as much as the Chinese have. If current growth rates continue, India’s population Will【S2】______China’s around the year 2028 at about 1.7 billion.
Should that happen, it won’t be the【S3】______of the enlightened women of Kerala, a state in southern India. While India as a whole adds almost 20 million people a year, Kerala’s population is virtually【S4】______.

And an educational tradition and matrilineal(母系的)customs in parts of Kerala help girls and boys get【S6】______good schooling. While one in three Indian women is【S7】______, 90% of those in Kerala can read and write.
Higher literacy rates【S8】______family planning.
