- According to ThePrint, delayed marriages and declining birth rates are changing India’s population structure and raising concerns about the future workforce.
- More young Indians are prioritising education, careers and financial stability, leading to later marriages and smaller families.
- A shrinking share of young workers in the future could reduce the economic advantage India gains from its large working-age population.
- Experts say India must create more jobs, improve skills and increase workforce participation to fully benefit from its demographic transition.
