Answer 1

Both,
look when you in demographic dividend stage and you have a large number of youth then it is an asset. example- india
but when the population becomes old it became liability.example- Japan

Answer 2

For many decades in India, a large population has been considered a liability rather than an asset. But a large population need not always be a liability. It can be turned into productive asset by investment in human capital. It can be done by spending resources on education and health for all, training of industrial and agricultural workers in the use of modern technology and useful scientific researches, etc.
