ABOUT THE BOOK

The Demographic Dividend & India's Economic Future, co-authored by the accomplished researchers and economists Ms. Arvuda S. Mehta, Dr. Anil K. Parti, and Dr. Madhur M. Mahajan, is a highly analytical and timely macroeconomic study. Published by premier academic publishers like Global Vision Publishing House (and widely studied across Indian universities), this volume serves as a comprehensive, data-driven blueprint exploring the immense potential, structural roadblocks, and policy imperatives surrounding India’s status as the world's youngest major economy.

The primary objective of the book is to critically evaluate whether India can successfully convert its bulging working-age population into a sustainable economic powerhouse, or if it risks falling into a "demographic disaster" due to underemployment and skill mismatches. The authors systematically dismantle abstract macroeconomic data into highly organized, thematic research modules:

• The Youth Bulge & Growth Accounting: Breaks down the mathematical correlation between a declining dependency ratio and increased national savings, investment rates, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth.
• The Skill Development Imperative: Critically examines the structural gaps within India's higher education system and evaluates national policy frameworks (like Skill India and NEP) designed to enhance global youth employability.
• Sectoral Shift Dynamics: Focuses on the structural transformation needed to move surplus agrarian labor into high-productivity manufacturing (Make in India) and the digital services sector.
• The Health & Gender Catalyst: Explores how female labor force participation (FLFP) and robust public health infrastructure act as non-negotiable pillars for sustaining the dividend before the population window begins to age.

Richly supported by statistical charts, comparative tables of regional demographics across Indian states, and econometric models, this book is an essential reference guide for policymakers, development economists, civil services aspirants, and research scholars.
