Among the population of India, the working - age people are relatively larger in number. What is the reason for this?

Demographic Dividend

The correct answer is Option 3: Demographic Dividend

Demographic dividend refers to the economic advantage that a country experiences when it has a larger proportion of working-age population (15–64 years) compared to the dependent population (children and elderly).In India’s case, the working-age population is relatively larger, which provides the potential for higher economic productivity, savings, and investment — if the workforce is well-educated, skilled, and employed.
