The comparison of these figures of fertility and longevity suggests that fertility and longevity, though not quite in inverse ratio, approach such a position. Moreover, from the figures of longevity given above, it would be seen that only among the Tribal, Hindu and Jaina communities the longevity was more among females than what was among males and that the difference was more marked among the Jainas. The longevity figures of Jaina males and females from 1911 to 1931, as per 1931 Census, are given in Table 22.
