India is poised to significantly contribute to the global rise in youth population, with a current population of 472 million children, as per the 2011 census. Over the next two decades, the country is projected to account for approximately one-fifth of the incremental global youth population, according to Mukherjee et al., 2023. This demographic trend offers immense potential for economic growth, innovation, and workforce development. However, it also presents challenges, such as ensuring access to quality education, healthcare, and employment opportunities for the burgeoning youth. Strategic planning and investments are crucial to harness this demographic dividend. With the right policies and initiatives, India can empower its youth and strengthen its role on the global stage. Addressing socio-economic disparities and fostering inclusivity will be key to realizing this potential. – Reproduced India, Youth Population, Global Rise, 472 Million Children, Census 2011, Incremental Youth Population, Next Two Decades, Economic Growth, Education, Healthcare, Employment Opportunities, Demographic Dividend, Strategic Planning. 51770 61(9), Mar, 2024: p.29-36 CHILD WELFARE AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 400888 IIPA IIPA 2024-04-18 61(9), Mar, 2024: p.29-36 AR131626 2024-04-18 AR
