Similarly, states where birth rates fell earlier, such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu, are already enjoying shrinking school-age populations, whereas school-age numbers in Bihar will still be rising until around 2025. But the majority of children in Kerala and Tamil Nadu are already in school, while in Bihar they are not.
那些出生比率早就下降的地区，如Kerala 和Tamil Nadu这两个邦，学龄人口已经开始减少，但比哈尔邦(Bihar)的学龄人口却还在上升，至少要到2025年这种上升趋势才有可能停止。与此同时，Kerala 和Tamil Nadu这两个邦的学龄儿童基本上都在上学，比哈尔邦(Bihar)的学龄儿童就没有这么幸运。
