Fertility and mortality are the basic parameters of demography. These are different from population to population and society to society depending on different bio-social factors. Understanding these factors in different population groups is very essential, particularly for the country like India, where a numbers of ethnic communities lives in different socio-cultural as well as environmental settings; firstly to know underlying facts that influence on differential fertility and secondly for developing future demographic strategies. In this paper an attempt has been made to evaluate the possible reasons for the differential fertility and mortality among the Sonowal Kacharis of Assam. The data for the present study was collected from 1230 ever married Sonowal Kachari women from different villages and areas of Dibrugarh district of Assam. The factors like age of women, age at marriage, ABO mating type, educational level of husband and wife, family type, husbands’ occupation, family income and residential set up are analyzed in the present study to understand its influence on fertility and mortality in the Sonowal Kacharis of Assam.
