Decoding India’s population conundrum | In Focus podcast

The Hindu  

2023 is set to be a landmark year for India’s population trajectory, as the country is predicted to overtake China to become the world’s most populous nation. The advantages, experts have pointed out, is the demographic dividend - we will have a massive number of young people in the working age group, and a relatively lower number of those needing care such as the elderly and young children, at least for a couple of decades. But how well is India placed to harness this young population for us to grow economically? Guest: Prof Sonalde Desai, Distinguished University Professor, the University of Maryland and Professor and Centre Director, NCAER-National Data Innovation Centre Host: Zubeda Hamid Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.
