KEY POINTS

·        According to the 2018-19 Economic Survey, India’s demographic dividend will peak around 2041, when the share of the working age population is expected to hit 59%.

·        As fertility drops and lifespans rise globally, the world is ageing at a significant pace.

·        China’s one-child policy led to a sharp reduction in the population growth rate. But now the Chinese have a rapidly rising population of the elderly.

·        Especially in the case of the elderly, where the estimates show that 12% of India’s total population by 2025 is going to be the elderly.

·        Ageing is also a gender issue as two-thirds of the elderly are women, because women tend to live longer than men do.

·        Economic policy should be geared towards the skilling and education of our large adolescent population with a special focus on gender.

·        Special attention must be given to addressing ways in which the pandemic may have affected the lives of our adolescent and youth.

·        India has a very good population policy, which was designed in 2000. And States also have their population policies.

·        Although we use the term population policy, population control still remains a part of our dialogue.
