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

The demographic dividend refers to the economic growth potential that can result from shifts in a population's age structure, mainly when the working-age population (usually defined as ages 15-64) is larger than the non-working-age population (children and elderly). In India, a relatively larger number of working-age people can lead to increased productivity and economic growth, as this group can contribute to the labor force and drive economic activity.
