N2  - This book examines how India can harness its demographic dividend—the economic opportunity created by a large and youthful working-age population—to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth. The author argues that the demographic dividend is not automatic; it depends on investments in education, skills, health, employment generation, social protection, and governance reforms.
Using the capability approach as its theoretical framework, the book proposes policy measures to improve human capital, strengthen vocational education and training, expand social protection, promote agricultural and rural development, and improve governance. The author contends that these reforms are essential if India is to benefit from its demographic advantage before the population begins to age significantly
