PASSAGE
Today, India looks to be on course to join the league of developed nations. It is beginning to establish a reputation not just as the technology nerve-centre and back-office to the world, but also as its production centre. India’s secularism and democracy serve as a role model to other developing countries. There is great pride in an India that easily integrates with a global economy, yet maintains a unique cultural identity.
But what is breath taking is India’s youth. For despite being an ancient civilisation that traces itself to the very dawn of human habitation, India is among the youngest countries in the world.More than half the country is under 25 years of age and more than a third is under 15 years of age.
Brought up in the shadow of the rise of India’s service industry boom, this group feels it can be at least as good if not better than anyone else in the world.This confidence has them demonstrating a great propensity to consume, throwing away ageing ideas of asceticism and thrift. The economic activity created by this combination of a growing labour pool and rising consumption demand is enough to propel India to double-digit economic growth for decades. This opportunity also represents the greatest threat to India’s future. If the youth of India are not properly educated and if there are not enough jobs created, India will have forever lost its opportunity.
India’s Information Technology and Business Process Outsourcing Industries are engines of job creation, but they still account for only 0.2% of India’s employment. The country has no choice but to dramatically industrialise and inflate its economy. According to a recent survey, more than half of India’s unemployed within the next decade could be its educated youth.

14. What is the approximate number of people in India who are in the age group 15-25 years ?
