The demographic dividend refers to the relatively young population of India, which presents a significant advantage in terms of growth and development. With the right policies and reforms in place, this dividend can be harnessed to drive economic growth and create more employment opportunities.
As the country continues to navigate the complexities of the global economy, it is crucial that labour reforms are implemented to ensure a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. This, in turn, will create more job opportunities and contribute to India's overall growth story.
