Abstract

The population structure of a country or a state is influenced by the male-to-female sex ratio, the percentage of rural-to-urban population, the composition of the population by age, religion, and language. Population growth in a particular region is determined by the birthrate, death rate, and net migration. If the population growth rate is increased due to natural growth, then it is a general matter. However, it has occurred as a result of migration outside of the country; it is an illegal matter that may result in domestic treats for the common people of that region.In Assam, from the independence of the country, the changing population structure is a big question which is the root problem for the state. It is claimed that the percentage of the Muslim population is growing day by day. The question is whether it is growing naturally or as a result of immigration from neighbouring countries.In this study, the researcher tries to investigate the ongoing changing population structure in Assam. An attempt has also been made to bring out in real detail the depth of the immigration problem in the state.
