Answer:
Age structure of the population of a country indicates the extent, to which the population of that country is productive from the economic point of view. Population in the age group of 15-60 years is known as working population. Population in the age group of 0-14 years and above 60 years is known as non-working/dependent population. Higher proportion of working population is beneficial for the economic development of the country. In India, percentage of population in the age group of 0-14 years is still high. In India, percentage of population above 60 years is increasing. That indicates higher life expectancy and reduction in death rate.
