About the Book: Endangered: Kerala’s Demography, Drift and Destiny explores the demographic transition, economic challenges and social transformation shaping Kerala’s future. Drawing comparisons with ageing societies such as Japan, Italy, South Korea and Lebanon, Ajith Nayar examines how a shrinking workforce, low fertility rates and rising social obligations could reshape one of India’s leading development models. Combining data-driven analysis with policy insights, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in Kerala, demographics, public policy, economics and sustainable development.
