Education is vital to the future of India, because it is the most important element in
converting our youthful population into a national asset. We have 540 million
Indians under the age of 25; if they are educated and trained properly to take
advantage of all that 21st century India can offer them, they will constitute a
demographic dividend' that will endow India with a productive workforce for the
next three decades, while the rest of the world is ageing. Education is of course
indispensable in the social transformation of our country and in building a just and
equitable society here.
India has a younger population not only in comparison to advanced economies but
also in relation to the large developing countries. As a result, the labour force in
India is expected to increase by 32 per cent over the next 20 years, while it will
decline by 4.0 per cent in industrialised countries and by nearly 5.0 per cent in
China. This 'demographic dividend' can add immeasurably to our growth potential,
provided two conditions are fulfilled. First, higher levels of health, education and
skill development must be achieved. Second, an environment must be created in
which the economy not only grows rapidly, but also enhances good quality
employment and livelihood opportunities to meet the needs and aspirations of the
educated youth. give a suitable title to this passage​

Answer 1

As the fastest growing economy today, India is home to a fifth of the world's youth. Half of its population of 1.3 billion is below the age of 25, and a quarter is below the age of 14. India’s young population is its most valuable asset and most pressing challenge. It provides India with a unique demographic advantage. But this opportunity will be lost without proportionate investment in human capital development. At the same time, the world today is more dynamic and uncertain than ever before. As India undergoes rapid and concurrent economic, demographic, social and technological shifts, it must ensure that its growth is inclusive and is shared by all sections of the society. India will not be able to realize its true growth potential its youth is not able to participate adequately and productively in its economy.

In order to understand which skills and jobs India’s young people want, and assess whether the current education system meets these aspirations, the World Economic Forum and the Observer Research Foundation collaboratively conducted a survey of more than 5,000 youth in India.
