Indian netizens like to talk about their demographic dividend. Often, they forget the quality of the population:
1. much shorter life span of Indians: in 2011, India life expectancy is 65 years while China's is 74 years. As a result, the shorter life has whittled down their working time and the contribution to the society.
2. high illiteracy rate. in 2011, India's literacy rate is 74%. Not quit sure how the one quarter of illiterate population could do for their country.
3. discrimination in race, ethnic, religion, social caste is deep rooted in India society. In spite that India claims to be melt pot of all cultures and all religion, India is more of a tinderbox with varieties of distrust and hatred among the social communities.
if you travel to india, the hatred among themselves are wide spared. regional, religious, racial, classes and genter``
Agreed, key words="Henderson report" as Neville maxwell claimed that was how he got the inside information from it as well.
Hopefully GOI will disclose the "Henderson report" one day.
Thank you for informing us about what you believe we do!
this is simpliton talk``in terms of labour productivity, capital investment and efficiency china is way head of india``acctually, China is moving from efficiency economy towards innovation driven economy, whereas india is still 2 steps lagging behind of china as primitive factor driven economy.
labour size does not equal to productivity, infrastructure, ease of doing business, technology readness, primary education, training availability and strong government influences are the keys to ensure productivity.
and because of those elements that puts india's economy under the factor driven primative stage.

What nonsense.
Africa has the youngest demographics, why aren't they at the top of the world?
EU, Japan, have the oldest demographics... yet their people live a thousand times better than Africans or Indians.
Africa and India have young demographics, because they have low life expectancies, so their people die earlier. That's hardly something to boast about.
I have the book here with me.
Facts are there, but cutely twisted to fit the western view aimed to cause a fear psychosis so that India joins the West!
Having youngest demographics is one thing and harvesting the youth is another. Africa has not come to that stage yet where it could exploit its demographics; neither did China before 1979 nor India before 1992. You have to have correct economic policies and institution placed before you can exploit your demographics
You are comparing apples and oranges. Growth is not synonymous with quality of life. If it were then developing world should have a better quality of life as compared to the developed one
Africa and India have young demographics, not because they have low life expectancies, but because of high fertility rate
Hmmmmm....Truth seeker. eh!
Yes, I'm. Don't tell me I'm not cool.
Now I know China didn't lose land in 1962.
