Question

Young India - A Boon or Bane

Answer 1

Please mark it as the brainliest answer.
India today is looked upon by the world as one of the youngest countries of the world. Maximum of India's population consists of youngsters(between 20 to 25 years), or as we call them - Youngistan. The youth who is full of life, energy, wants to achieve everything in his life. The confidence in his eyes signifies his urge to win and conquer the world. But in this display of power and passion, the youth of today has lost the very vital key to success - patience, perseverance, hard work, dedication and discipline.  

Lets go to flashback (the era of 1960s to 1990s) Gone are those days when the youth of India had a very limited source of information viz. what to study, where to study, how to approach the known college, which job to do, how to crack the entrance exams, group discussion and personal interviews and emerge as a winner. The youth of yester years was dependent on a very limited source of information. They had to go through many books for references, had to visit many libraries to get those books and had to do great hard work in preparing relevant notes from those books. Also in those days there were not many counselling and coaching centres who would have guided them in taking the right decisions of their life. But they had still "Managed" to get what they "Desired". Because they believed in only one golden rule - "The distance between their dreams and reality was called Discipline". They had one thing in common which was discipline which made their difficulties look easier and made the impossible, possible. The power of perseverance was always there to guide them in difficult times.

Cut to now (language of film making) The youth of today is fully equipped with all the required source of information. viz internet, newspapers, magazines, consultancies, counselling and coaching centres and the most revolutionary thing of the century "The Mobile Phone". But still they have a million dollar question to be answered to themselves - what to do in life, how to do in life, when to do what in life.....my context is very clear that the youth of today has got no goal in his life. The very obvious reasons are - lack to dedication, unwillingness to work hard, expecting a lot in a very short span of time (thanks to our bollywood masala movies) and the most gruesome one not believing themselves. No conviction about what they can achieve and till which level can they achieve. 

Sad to say that the youth of today's India is murdered by the very essential necessities of theirs i.e. Whirl pooling Whats app and Frightening Facebook. I might sound a bit rude but this is the unfortunate reality of our "So called Youngistan". Mobile phone in today's world provides you the entire information you want. Any information you want is just a touch away from you provided you have that urge to explore beyond your confinements. Today's youth is pretty reluctant to explore when it comes to do something new. Mobile phone has now became their real world rather than a virtual one. 

I am really worried about today's youth, where are they heading, what are they doing and where the nation will be going if this continues. I personally want that the youth of India should believe what they are capable of achieving by introspecting themselves and going to the right direction on the right time. Because "Dreams don't work unless you do.....".

Answer 2

According to the latest census around 41 percent of India's population is below the age of 20 years. But without job creation on a war footing, our demographic dividend can turn into a liability.

In another twenty years more than a billion people will be more than 65. The greying population will largely be in the developed world. The old people to working age population will get severely skewed in many countries. According to The Economist, by 2035 Japan will have 69 old people for every 100 in the 24-65 age group. Germany will have 66 and America will have 44.

Educated but unemployable
The source of labour will have to come from Asia and Africa which will in 2035 have 22 people over 65 for every hundred who are in the 24-65 age group. While we keep flaunting India’s demographic dividend we conveniently ignore the dropping rates of employability with passing year.

Less than one out of four MBAs is employable. One out of five engineers can claim to be employable. Only one in ten graduates is employable. 

Lethal combination 
A demographic dividend is very unlikely to accrue to India anytime soon, as a large share of the country's youth lacks education as well as jobs to deliver this productivity, says a report. Economic theory suggests that when the proportion of young people in a region increases, a significant boost to economic growth should happen. However, in case of India this is not likely to meterialise, Ambit Capital said in a research note.

This is mainly because a large share of India's youth today lacks education and jobs to deliver this productivity. To add to the imbalance, the country's gender ratio is skewed significantly in favour of men.

Despite the rapid economic advancement India experienced over the nineties, its progress on the social indicators front has been appalling. 

#Whilst only six countries today have economies that are larger than that of India's, the country is at the bottom of the league tables on social indicators with only 58 countries having an HDI rank worse than that of India's, the report said.
