Indian Society: Demographic Structure of Indian Society

Question:

Why is Demographic Dividend considered temporary?

Options:

Larger pool of working age people will gradually turn into non-working old age group

Larger pool of non-working people will eventually turn into working people

Eventually the number of non-working people will be equal to that of working people

Larger pool of non-working people will be employed due to Government policies

Correct Answer:

Larger pool of working age people will gradually turn into non-working old age group

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Larger pool of working age people will gradually turn into non-working old age group.

As the demographic transition progresses, the proportion of the population in the working-age group decreases relative to the elderly population, leading to a decline in the demographic dividend. Therefore, it's temporary in nature.
