Prof K.S. James - India’s Demographic Dividend and Equity Concerns

This talk was hosted by the South Asia Working Group of the Young Scholars Initiative.

The South Asia Working Group provides a platform for young scholars from South Asia (and those interested in the economic issues of the region) to select an issue they wish to work on, collaborate and discuss for better conceptualization of the problem and, debate, critique and improve upon solutions. We also invite scholars to suggest the most pressing problems and challenges to better guide the path for this working group.
