If there is no appropriate policy, the increase in labor population may lead to an increase in unemployment rate and exacerbate economic and social risks.
Since the United Nations has estimated the population in the 1950s, China has always been the most populous country, and India has lived second.The total population of the two countries now accounts for about one -third of the 8 billion people around the world.In order to curb the expansion of the population, China -India has implemented decades of fertility plans, but India's decline is inferior to China.When China recorded for the first time in the 60 years in 2022, the population of the first 60 years of atrophy, indicating that it entered the "era of population negative growth".

In comparison, China is 39 years old and the United States is 38 years old.According to the Pedu Research Center, about one -five -year -old population under the age of 25 is in India.The United Nations estimated last year that every 100 laborers in India in 2023, the number of adopters (non -labor population such as the elders, children, etc.) was 47. 187 countries were sorted from young to most, and India is currently ranked 43rd.Ascended to 23rd; China fell from 30th to 146.This means that India ’s labor force is large and social burden is less than China.
India is expected to become the third largest economy in 2029
The fifth largest economy in the world, India, has a low population and low raising rate, and is in the period of "demographic dividends", which can bring overwhelming economic potential.India's largest Indian National Bank (SBI) outlook that the country can surpass Germany in 2029 and be promoted to the third largest economy in China and the United States.

Insufficient education and medical investment in youth labor, insufficient medical investment
Indian youth's labor force has grown rapidly, and it has attracted a number of foreign companies to enter the development of new production lines, such as Apple and Foxconn, but the overall infrastructure is backward and the investment rules are cumbersome.Insufficient education and medical investment have also been criticized.According to the last 2011 census data, only 40%of the academic qualifications for the whole school were increased by 5%in ten years.The employment rate is low due to learning opportunities and traditional concepts.
The country's economic structure has not completely transformed from agriculture to manufacturing.In the past ten years, although more than 100 million people have invested in the labor market, and several million people have left the countryside to find jobs in the city, but the employment positions have grown at a net zero -growth period during the same period.Lack of job opportunities and low wages in rural migrant workers in rural areas will increase slums and patients.
