Demographic Dividend Gets Postponed as Agriculture Workforce Falls

Demographic dividend
makes the Indian story fundamentally strong. Foreign inflows are influenced by
this strong potential growth rate. They are celebrating it. But with an
uneducated and unskilled population we are not going reap a huge dividend
without increase in productivity and wages/per-capita. The long term goal is to
achieve a higher per-capita income and consumption; everybody is heading in
that direction. To cut short, a decent lifestyle... Many argue that we need to
make people learn how to fish instead of giving them fish. Education and skill
development is so crucial for an emerging economy that its long term goals can
not be achieved without these two. They make people independent who are
dependent on the State for their livelihood. The unemployment figures, 2.2, for
the year 2011-12 says that employment is not a problem in INDIA but lack of skills
are, which increases the productivity and wages/income. INDIA is stuck with
subsistence wages without proper skills for its masses that can raise their
incomes and reduces their exploitation. It is hard to deceive an educated
population on matters of what the State has to offer for a good-life. The State
should focus on making them independent and not dependent…
