Demography India, Vol 54, Issue 3 (September- December, 2025)

From the Chief Editor’s Desk

The editorial team is happy to present the third issue of Volume 54 (September- December, 2025) of Demography India. This issue includes 14 papers covering one paper under the senior demographer column, one invited paper, eight other research papers, two notes, and two book reviews. The invited paper accounts for unpaid care work and its gender dynamics. Other papers cover a diverse range of topics including disparities in digital health, divorce, mapping the unhoused population, child malnutrition, disability, residential segregation in urban areas and urban migration.

We express our sincere gratitude to IASP President, Prof. Suresh Sharma, IEG, for supporting the activities of this journal. We also express our appreciation to all our reviewers for their valuable insights and timely feedback on the research papers submitted for publication. We are also thankful to the editorial staff of the IEG for providing support in publishing the journal. With the unwavering support of the demographic community in India and abroad—as well as the collaboration of social scientists working on population, health, and public policy issues— we aim to elevate Demography India to a new height of academic quality and impact. Together, we will shape a journal that continues to serve as a valuable resource for knowledge exchange and evidence-based decision-making.

We would be happy to receive more books and reports for review in the next issue of the journal. Those who have published a book or a research report and would like it to be reviewed in the next issue of the journal, are requested to send two copies of the same to Dr. Priyanka Yadav, IEG. Unsolicited book reviews, written on their own, would not be published.

We hope that you find this issue interesting. If you have any suggestions to improve the quality of the journal, you may contact the chief editor at arunk@iitk.ac.in or 4aksharma@gmail.com
