Is population of INDIA is an asset?

Population Well-being
Rapid population growth is also associated with an age structure with a very high dependency. It leads to the diversion of family resources for rearing children rather than for saving and investment in the production system resulting in lowering capital labour ratio. Population control should be at the centre stage of all efforts directed towards improvements in the quality of life.

Age Structure Transition

Decline in fertility leads to decline in the birth rate and decrease in the annual number of births. Decrease in the annual number of births results in a decrease in the proportion of young population. The large base of population pyramid shifts upwards. Age pyramid no longer remains triangular in shape.
