India's Demographic Dividend at Risk as Economic Growth Falters

India's economic growth is slowing down. GDP growth dipped to 5.4% in Q2FY25, the lowest in seven quarters. The slowdown threatens to squander India's demographic dividend as job creation lags behind the growing working-age population. India has projected itself to be the third-largest economy in the world by 2030, but this dream seems elusive due to major employment generation issues, especially for educated youth. The country needs to address structural issues, boost private investment, and focus on skill development before it transitions into an aging population.
