India's Demographic Shift: Youthful Workforce and Emerging Silver Economy Challenges
India's demographic landscape presents both opportunities and challenges. With nearly two-thirds of its population under 35, India has a youthful workforce that could drive economic growth if job creation, skill development, and workforce participation improve. However, India's fertility rate has fallen below replacement level, signaling an ageing population by 2050. This shift highlights emerging needs in sectors like healthcare, housing, and financial services for seniors, known as the silver economy, which remains largely undeveloped.
