  • Recent Studies have shown that India has entered a 37-year period of “Demographic Dividend” in 2018. The bulge in the working age population is going to last till 2055.
  • UN Population Fund (UNFPA) defines demographic dividend as the “growth potential” that results from shifts in a population’s age structure.
  • Since 2018, India’s working-age population (people between 15 and 64 years of age) has grown larger than the dependant population (age 0 to 14 and age more than 65).
  • Japan, China and South Korea have already used this period and shown huge economic progress.
