Uttar Pradesh, being the most populous state, forms 16.5% of India. It is growing at a fast rate of 20.23%. Along with it, as the state witnesses’ demographic transition, its age composition is changing. Uttar Pradesh, with a median age of 21.9, is one of the youngest states of India. (Census, 2011) In 2021, 60% of its population was in the working age group of 15-59. This is an opportunity window for the state to reap the demographic dividend. UP is a demographically significant state for India as it is huge contributor to the total working age population of India. Given the scenario, the objective of the paper, thus, is to comprehensively understand the population dynamics of Uttar Pradesh and its macroeconomic ramifications. For this, time frame of sixty years:1961-2021 has been taken to understand UP from the time of high child dependency to growing old-age dependency. Data from the Office of Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India, RBI Handbook of Statistics on Indian States and BKPAI has been used. Measures like growth rate of population, growth rate of old age persons, growth of working age population, dependency ratio, index of ageing, median age of population has been utilized to understand demographic changes. Changes in the demographic variables have been used to explain changes in the macroeconomic variables.
