This study has been undertaken to study components of population dynamics in Himachal Pradesh. Multiple regression analysis shows that included explanatory variables account for 81 percent and 77 percent variation in the dependent variable total number of children ever born (TCEB) for tribal and non-tribal regions, respectively. As current age of women in comparison to lower age group increases, holding other variables constant, fertility increases, as noticed for both regions. Keeping other variables unchanged, age at marriage of women has been found bearing inverse relationship with fertility. Educational standard of ever-married women has adverse effect on fertility in both regions. Women whose husbands are employed have borne on an average fewer children as against those who work in agriculture (for tribal region). The results in tribal region obtained by applying logistic regression on migration status reveal that estimates of sex (male with respect female), higher education with educational level less than matric, standard of living (as against lower one) and Buddhist beside Hindu are statistically significant, and have direct effect on migration. Marital status (married as against unmarried) has adverse effect, that unmarried population migrate more than married one. Results for non-tribal reveals that, holding other variables constant, male population migrates more than female one. Scheduled caste population migrates less than general caste. The risk of mortality is higher in the first year of life than later in childhood. Mother’s higher level of education has shown negative effect on child mortality rate. Infant female mortality is higher than male mortality. Infant mortality varied inversely with total number of children born.
