India’s Youth Population – Boon or Bane? Unemployment & Youth

In this video, we dive into the debate: Is population growth a boon or a bane? India’s vast youth population, particularly those aged 18-35, is often seen as a powerful demographic dividend. But what happens if this population is not equipped with jobs and opportunities?

We take you to the streets of Karol Bagh and Mukherjee Nagar, where thousands of young minds wait anxiously for employment. Without economic prospects, this demographic could shift from a national asset to a significant liability. This “ticking time bomb” of unemployment could lead to increased unrest, crime, and social instability if not addressed.

The video also touches on pressing factors such as Total Fertility Rate (TFR) and the implications of a rapidly aging population on India’s future workforce. Additionally, we explore the importance of government policies in creating job opportunities, public sector investments, and promoting entrepreneurship.

Key Points Discussed:

• How demographic dividends can turn into liabilities
• The impact of Total Fertility Rate (TFR) on population sustainability
• Unemployment and its social consequences
• The role of government in promoting job creation and private sector growth
• How entrepreneurship can be a solution to the unemployment crisis

This video offers a comprehensive view of the socio-economic implications of India’s population growth. It challenges myths around the “population eating jobs” theory and emphasizes the need for policy-driven solutions to harness India’s youth potential effectively
