Demographic Dividend
Fools say population is a problem.
Greater fools agree with them.
Wise people say India’s population growth is a demographic dividend.
India’s population was 55 crores in 1971. Many predicted dire consequences if the population growth is not stopped.
Now in 2010 India’s population is around 110 crores. The country is thriving. The prophets of doom have been proved wrong.
