Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements respect to Demographic dividend:

- This happens when the share of the working-age population is larger than the non-working-age share of the population.
Which of the given statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
Inspired by: India enters 37-year period of demographic dividend
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/india-enters-37-year-period-of-demographic-dividend/
Answer: (c)
Demographic dividend
- Demographic dividend refers to the growth in an economy that is the result of a change in the age structure of a country’s population.
- This happens when the share of the working-age population (15 to 64) is larger than the non-working-age share of the population (14 and younger, and 65 and older).
- In other words it is a boost in economic productivity that occurs when there are growing numbers of people in the workforce relative to the number of dependents.
- It is however important to note that this change in population structure alone cannot push growth. There are many other factors.
- Countries can only harness the economic potential of the youth bulge if they are able to provide good health, quality education and decent employment to its entire population.
