KEY POINTS
· A UN report’s prediction of India replacing China as the most populous country by next yearfour years earlier than predicted in 2019.
· This means that nations like India must invest in their human capital. Per the projections, the share of the older population will increase to 16% in 2050, and this age group is growing most rapidly.
· As per the National Family Health Survey 5, the total fertility rate (TFR), or the births per woman, have declined nationally from 2.2 in NFHS 4 (2015-2016) to 2.0 currently.
· NFHS 5 data show Bihar and Jharkhand have more stunted, wasted, and underweight children than the national average, with UP following suit except for the percentage of wasted children.
· For education, per the Annual State of Education Report (ASER) 2021, compared to the national average, both Bihar and UP had more unenrolled children, with UP’s percentage doubling from ASER 2018.
· According to a UN report from 2019, 79% of the elderly population felt that the social security schemes were not enough to meet their basic needs.
· The UN’s Human Development Index (HDI) 2019 ranks India 131st—within the medium-human development cohort. It considers factors such as life expectancy, education, and per capita income.
· Policymakers must understand that a large population becomes a huge dividend only when the young are taught well, acquire useful skills, and find regular employment.
