You are also here I am also here and I don't get fooled by these fancy number. I am a practical man.As far as population projections are concerned, only focusing on your surroundings will not help as you are merely staring at one point and its neighborhood in the curve shown above. It will give you a tangent as your prediction. Not a good way to predict population size 30 years from now. Population will not exceed 1.7 billion. But that is still a big challenge.
However, the main challenge is making it through the peak of the graph: population entering workforce vs time. That peak is between 2025 and 2030.
So India's challenge is generating enough jobs that provide sustenance (sustenance, not high living standards) to all those entering the workforce.
And if we think about this along those lines, this is not a good time to push for more women in the workforce, cause the shortage is of jobs, not workers
And I see lack of opportunities in coming days with high population.
By 2050 people will be close to 2 billion and that's my estimate. And I have given you how this will work.
The challenge you are talking about is huge and has sustained itself.
The unemployment in India is 5% and others who are employed they are not satisfied with their job.
If India was really doing well, then people would have not left India ... for better life.
This is a fact and we have to swallow it without a sip of water.
Even in informal economy people were not getting adequate income which they suppose to.And the reason that it is not getting to us through the system is because of informal economy. That is being eradicated at a lightning pace. Read here:-
The problem is about mentality.
We Indians will find some way to fool this system too.
Mark this post.
And why informal economy developed firs of all. Because of the system. This system is not going to change even in the next 100 years.
You just have 7 golden years if Modi wins next after that it's going to be same.
