India, Now The Most Populous Country: Demographic Advantage Or Disaster? | Insight | Full Episode
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- India is set to overtake China as the most populous country. At a time when China is facing an aging and declining population, India has one of the fastest growing and youngest population in the world.
But the population boom is a double-edged sword. While it can be the driver of growth for the coming decades, it can also be a drain on resources and the catalyst for structural failures.
Even as the vibrant tech sector is booming, large swathes of its 1.4 billion people still live in poverty, deprived of education and economic opportunity.

Population growth means more people fighting for resources. More problem and struggles.
It can also mean more GPD if you get enough resources and grow the economy enough. This documentary is presenting population growth as a problem when population collapse is a problem in China and the reason why the economy will stop growing as much. Lower population means higher wages which means the country becomes less attractive towards foreign investors.
@@tiktop247 don't spit this and that without proper research.
@@neggas- Go do your research. Most countries are facing population collapse and this will magnify in current years. India's fertility rate is 2.1 which is expected to come down to 1.5-1.7 at the end of this decade. Instead of studying forward from watsapp read some actual data.
It also means more jobs more creativity more economy ….also the ideal population that Indian landmass can handle is 1.1 billion because of the sheer fertility of the land…so that’s that
Look at them. You can’t teach these things anything
It is shame and a disaster for us. The Population of India is now four times what it was in 1970s, but the resources are the same. The result is increasing poverty and unemployment.
😂
Ok, lekin poverty to 70s ki comparatively decrease huee hai.
Resources same nhi kam hogye

@@frostbite4019 lots and lots of yens, in India, sigh
In poverty, one doesn't know or care.
It is the otherway as well, more hands that work, better hope for future. Have more children could be a dream for a safer future.
Majority of us Indians live in villages n slums where the youth r uneducated and unskilled for today's jobs so this population growth will be a big problem for us in the future.
just becasue you're unemployeed and good for nothing... that doesnt mean whole india is like that, am from south india Karnataka and all villages Kids are being educated if they dont have interest they will help their parents in farming what's wrong with that.
I don't think you are Indian
@@KannyValentine I don't think you are .😅
Yeah? I believe human value is more than their education or personal belongings.
China used to be a more populous country than India, but now India has become the most populous country in the world. China is reducing the population of its country with its population planning and one-child-2-child policy, and the population rate is decreasing day by day. India is a more crowded country day by day. If it continues like this, it will be a big disaster for India. Because the more crowded a country is, the more foreign trade it has to do. Too many people means too much demand. Brother, if you investigate this situation impartially, you can understand the seriousness of the situation much better. The fact that the population of India is getting crowded day by day is a serious threat. If the population of India was 500 to 400 million today, it would be the most prosperous and powerful country in the worldBut today the population of India is over 1 billion and it is increasing day by day, which means more foreign trade and more demand
In the age of automation and AI, big population, with no skills, means redundant population, a burden on economy.
Indians don't fart.
like yourself and like 90 ish percent of humans or more
@@agrajyadav2951 you also
So poor
AI is nothing but a super hype to trap investors in stock market and increase valuation of companies. Once recession will hit this hype will vanish quickly. Humans are irreplaceable. You can use technology to certain extent otherwise social structure and social harmony, income gap will lead to destruction in any country.
China which has the world's largest manufacturing is still suffering from a low employment rate of young people of age 18-24, I can hardly imagine how the Indian goverment solve this problem when they are facing a much larger amount of young populaion and much smaller manufacturing.
Some unemployed due to their own choosing
the unemployed are college students，they just won't be a blue worker. at same time, there is a laber shortage in manufacturing, although the slaray of the blue workers may be more high than the white workers.
Funny thing is that many Indians on the Internet started congratulating each other for becoming superpower for surpassing china in population.🤦🏽♂️🤣👴🏽🤣
Thats called "sarcasm" if your have never seen one before.
India growing and expanding.. that sure is something to be proud of..
They dont even realize that India is poorer than China and that more population in India means more problems
No one congratulates of crossing population. They congratulate for India just being a potential superpower after some 50-60 years.
They're doing it jokingly that atleast we are in something ahead of those who wish to colonise us.
Unemployment rates are around 8% there. It means there are more jobless youth sitting there than the entire population of the UK. Dividends can't fall from the sky.
this also means that more than 11 times of that population are working
Do they have a socialism… I mean welfare system like in the UK? Also what can prevent India from exporting their extras to the UK like they’ve been doing in the past decades?
Many of those unemployed are housewives which is not an issue in India. In a huge country like India, if few people don't work it won't have negative consequences.
@@pinkcichlid
They already did socialism.
They’re adding 25-30 million new babies every year and, probably over 20 millions r turning 18 every year…that’s crazy….Hw r they’re going to turn them productive in this modern era …automation and Ai are taking over and, India 🇮🇳 is still full of bureaucracy and,expensive to make many things…garments industry is already going out from Asia ..
India is a good example of what not to do with the population.... don't allow population to grow out of control.. solution one baby per family. Too late now!..🤔
One child policy
For all non indians here , the documentary covers the places that are relatively much poor than the counterparts , the situation in west and south India is way different, you wouldn't know this , as documentaries only focus on showing the struggling side 😅
You mean UP Bihar ?
Yes, mostly U P and bihar
Average is worse than the video though?
@hannesRSA are you Indian?
@@yomamasohot6411 yes I am Indjin, therefore I was born with all-knowing knowledge about Indian-race-related statistics such as the GDP per capita of $2300, and I am allowed to ask questions online without cancel culture.
Western countries see India population as counter weight to China. But for the Indians it means more unemployment and hunger..as inflation remain high..lack of skills is the biggest threat to demographics dividends.
No one sees India as counterweight to China. reality is different. everyone knows
This is informative actually. We all know that this is not only happening in India but also everywhere in every country. I'm from the Philippines. India is a great country "respect" ❤️
The Philippines is having the same problem as India, and are you comforting yourself?
Blind increase in population has resulted in loss of respect of human beings ,world over . India is a worse example . Pakistan is a worst example .
The solution of poverty is the technological singularity - Elon Musk et al are trying to slow down the research as they feel it threatens their power. If India & Filipinos develop an advanced general intelligence that instead of playing with itself to play Go or fold proteins to make it good at "upgrading“ itself or upgrading our chip design or mass production of chips they could use it to as an oracle to in one fell swoop eliminate the huge education advantage the West has over the global south. You could also have the AGI develop a "replicator" possibly in the nano scale that could double in number exponentially by having each of them replicate and have them build energy collectors, computers, infrastructure. If not delayed, the timeline for is at 2030. Look up AGI guys and spread the message.
Hello fellow indian
China and india has 1.4 billion population
Huge young population needs advanced industries and infrastructure and education to turning it into advantage, or it’s nothing but a heavy burden to the economy. China suffered more than a half century to turning its population from burden to advantage, and now Chinese people are not willing to have more babies anymore once their income and life quality increased, just like any other developed countries did. So it’s still a biggest challenge for India so far, with such huge population..
Yes 😢😢
We hate our old governments
China 👍🏻
we were left behind 😶🌫️
"Huge young population needs advanced industries and infrastructure and education to turning it into advantage"
What "advanced industries", "infrastructure" and "education" China had when it started becoming the manufacturing destination in the 1990s?!
Most of the export out of China are still low-cost, low-margin and mass-produced products which don't require much education.
Hindus breed like pigs 😂
@@jarjarbinks3193 When China started its journey into becoming the manufacturing hub of the world in late 1970s among the first few things they did was radically change the education system as well as build well planned infrastructure with certain regions clearly demarcated as per products/ sector with easy access to all types of transport.
India has too many complexities for any such activities. And a large part of its population has no or low level skills + many facing an issue of being unemployable despite education . That's a drag on the economy . A country needs contributors to the Economy & not large parts of population being consumers with little or no contribution to the Economy
90% of chinese earnings less than 5000 Yuan according to China statistic department. Their can't afford to buy a house and car to get married. The challenge is to raise the earnings of the people, so they have enough monies to get married and have babies.
As much as India is growing, as a country they also must have a sustainable, growing economy that addresses the migrant exodus. Countries such as Australia, Canada, USA etc, most migrants, especially international students, come from India. India needs to address the migrant exodus and make the country more attractive and livable to stay by addressing inequality and climate change
Makes me think of East Germany that had to put a Wall up to prevent skilled people from leaving (1961)
De-dollarization and making the west less attractive is the solution. This is already in motion. The only problem is US and Europe is getting in the way. The reason why western countries are not really strict about immigration has to do with the fact that there wont be enough future taxpayers The western countries have a tremendous labor shortage and debts that needs to be paid. Yet they have falling birth rates. If Australia/Canada wants to seal its border, it needs to maintain a local birth rate of 2.1. You cant create a menu and then complain why is the food served.
There is another angle to this problem. Wokeism. The west should stop the process of asylum economics. Australia and Canada has attracted thugs, hooligans, criminals from India, who were at large pursued by the state. They often choose illegal ways of immigration, only to claim persecution by the state as the reason to do so. A small industry has come up facilitating such activity. Often these obnoxious immigrants to your country are used by the deep state to name and shame India to bend to their demands, which may be related to geopolitics, trade or security. India has demanded their deportation, and have met with dead silence every time. Now these criminals are enjoying political patronage and security by the state and they spew venom against India. Its a murky affair,
Most of the US , UK and Canada colleges are still running because of India students. If it stops then all these colleges will run out of money.
@hiteshsingh498 I don’t know about most. I say this is as an Indian American, but every immigrant group is important to any operation here.
Lolz stop giving visas to students then??
Ur economy will crash in one day as u ppl r earning billions frm students n affecting india n doing brain n youth drain
The key is improving the quality of the population at TOP SPEED, by education, transportation, healthcare and all types of public services. If successive generations of Indian government manage to come up with wise and sustainable PLANNING, then the sky is the limit. If not, I fear India will slowly start to realise why China’s one child policy was so very wise after all …
Wise? It's a demographic nightmare that Beijing has just started to realise now. There aren't enough women in China for the Chinese men. They are having to traffic women out of poor countries like Pakistan, Mongolia.
Chona almost had 4 billion population with out the policy
@Josh lool..u keep crying bro..we don't care😂😂

There are 35k job hiring in Indian Government,but 10M job seekers or applicants fighting to get that job .😢
As a Chinese, I believe India can learn from the world, but it shouldn’t copy the Chinese model. Half of Chinese economy model is state driven urbanization. The state owns every piece of land, and the auction of one hectare land usage (not ownership) can make hundreds of millions of dollars revenue. The state can then use this money to fund infrastructures and public services and make the land more valuable. But for India, a country with the private sector holding most of the land, it’s harder for the state to break even on urbanization. An India problem needs an Indian solution.
这种模式的前提是，老百姓相信经济增长和房价增长，才会花大钱去买房，所以如果没有制造业和科技的发展，是不成立的
Indian wanted to copy Chinese but they can't. Indian problems are much bigger. No one can fix it.
too late. india already copy everything from china. they just don't want to admit it
We in the USA own land in name but we are renting it in practice with forever property tax, levee, and fees.
India's lack of business morals and ethics need a LOT of improvement, too far behind countries like Vietnam and Singapore. Eagerness to succeed is not everything.
You are correct about endemic corruption. It is a way of life -- greasy palms everywhere.
How does one find trust there?!
In India, most of people dont care about better economy, they only interested in dirty politics in the name of caste and region.....
Sure, we'll give CEOs of Microsoft, Google, Adobe, IBM, Starbucks, GoDaddy and a hundred other Indians a call.
Vietnamese here, we have tons of corruption and terrible ethic business practice too, the first step to solve a problem, is to realize there is a problem.
That is why cracking down on corruption is top priority for Government here in Vietnam.
Even Vietnamese billionaires go to jail.
Our President is also forced to resign too because of corruption scandal.
No one is above the Party.
@@flowzeta5412
Most of whom moved out of India to find success.
The main thing that is holding back India is their caste system. The other thing is very few Indians are philanthropists. There are many Indians who are millionaires & billionaires but very few give back to their communities.
And or their religion! where the caste system comes from.
This is like saying China achieved whatever progress it did only thanks to an egalitarian society & CCP.

For my own opinion, demographic dividend could never be materialized without firstly invest heavily on Infrastructure, education and healthcare systems in order to utilize such potential. India could not and would not achieve these in a rapid manner due to its government structure, culture and current human development level.
My country suffers the same thing as India: huge population with low quality. The thing is, people who should have more children (weathy people who are able to provide children with good education and stuff) want less and less children. Meanwhile, poor and selfish parents keep having more children as an investment and retirement plan. The result is, even though the population growing fast and we have a lot of young people, they are not educated, very poor and most of them end up working in factories and keep being poor for generations
What country will that be?
@@praddumnvats6759 This is a Chinese troll with fake western name wants to portray a bad image of India. All paid for by the Chinese government.

I am surprised at Devinders case. There is a 3% quota for physical handicapped for govt jobs. This usually goes unfilfilled.
yes it seems odd. he seems to be well read and still struggling. Maybe there are other issues at play, that were not disclosed.
He says very accurately that labor charges Rs500/day but clerks and desk jobs pay less than Rs200/day and still can't find employment.
India corruption😂
What worries me for India is the bureaucracy hindering productivity. China shows what a race the demographic dividend is, to overcome the middle income trap, especially for large countries.
Gotta learn from china 🇨🇳🚄🏙️
So poor tho
Climate change is hitting and will hit India the hardest. The location on earth is the worst.
The bureaucracy is all tide in their religious/class dogma... that's why they wont succeed.
Energy from electrical devices like gear cycle or recycling sunlight as mirror sunlight in thermal u think by mirror without solar
How fast a country grows does not depend on how young a country is. It is the productivity growth that really matters. For example, World Bank predicts China to grow 5.1% and India to grow 6.3% this year. If you subtract population growth, China would grow almost as fast as India even though China's GDP per capita is approximately six times that of India. Another example is Central and Eastern Europe. The population of CEE countries are either stagnating or declining, yet these countries are still quite successful in the last decade in terms of economic growth.
India's fertility rate (2.05 births per woman) is ALREADY below the replacement level (which is 2.1 births per woman). This too mainly due to some of the poorest and most populous states skewing the ratio, as most states have a fertility rate below 2.0. India's population will still continue to grow (but slowly) till it peaks by the middle of the century.
The point is China won't be able to sustain much growth with its population decline. China is still a nation that depends on the export of low-cost, low-margin, and mass-produced unbranded goods. This economic growth model simply can't be sustained with the demographic problem that China is going to face.
If you compare this with Japan, it had become rich when its economic growth stalled and its population started to decline only much later. Japan by that time had already become a land full of well-established brands with gold-plated reputations, which is sustaining them to this date and will sustain them in the future as well. None of that applies to China.
@@jarjarbinks3193 One absolute number for India gives a skewed picture of India's population. If the state of Kerala's population is steadily declining, there are States like Bihar with a fertility rate of 3. Similarly there is a huge difference between the fertility rates in urban areas & rural areas n higher income groups & lower income groups . And then population numbers of India are elastic coz of the influx of migrants from neighbouring countries who settle in India
@@jarjarbinks3193 China is heavily investing in high end technology esp AI across all sectors. That cuts the need of the people intensive traditional manufacturing set up of work. With Technology the workforce required is leaner & the workforce transitions to a highly skilled & educated bracket while productivity & output increases.
Basically as China's population declines so is their need for people across different work sectors reduces . How this plays out in the long term is yet to be seen
@@altmosetz_01 All that hype about AI in China is just that -- HYPE!
Despite what anyone blabbers about China and AI, the US is still the king in AI. That is why the next frontier in AI, ChatGPT was made in the US and NOT China.
China is STILL a country that relies on a lot of manual labour-intensive manufacturing for export.
Grow in what way?
Western researchers are already predicting that China will be in a population decline going into the next decade due to the past 1 child policy. Most countries dont have a proper replacement population rate except India and African countries.
I remember reading it somewhere that the fertility rate in young Indians has already fallen below the 2.1 replacement rate.
In fact, very very few regions in the world are at or above the replacement rate today. The global long-term task is to learn how to sustainably support 11-12 billion population because that is where we are going to cap.
You are correct. It's actually 1.9 now in 2023. And expected to fall further.
That's not the whole story. The poorer states have higher growth rates
Attention because this Number of 2.1 children is relevant for Europe or American countries, but not for India or China because you have more men than women. So in their case, this ratio should be around 2.3 or 2.4. if you see the number the numbers of Babies born during the last 25 years, you will see a stabilisation, and soon a decrease as in china probably.
I confirm. You have 27 millions babies per year since the beginning of 80s. If we take into account the mortality rate for babies, you have approximately at the same number of survivants at 20 years old, but in 2022, you have already 4 millions less Babies than before.
So India is following the trend of china with 30 years of late, but they will probably reduce faster the gap.
I have no doubt that the number of Babies will fall under the 20 millions in less than 5 years.
The population will begin to decrease in 30 or 40 years, except catastrophes to accelerate the process.
@@ludovicrossi4403 no, you are wrong.
In India there are more females than males.
India's sex ratio is 1.03 females/males.
It's China whose sex ratio is fucked up.
I personally think that a developing country can be fully developed once the leaders start to become more and more visionary, selfless, and firm. Don’t blame it on culture, religion or even the rising population. What the nation needs are great and excellent leaders.
I agree. A great leader make or break a country regardless of the system.
I don’t disagree with you, but I think democracy makes that more of a challenge that it would otherwise be - in a democracy you have limited tenure for each leader so you need not one, not two, but several generations of visionary AS WELL AS popular leaders to pull off to make sustained success. The odds are stacked against it.

@@Real982ax What if someone like Mao Zedong, Erdogan or Kim Jong Un comes to power???
Some parts of the documentary are good but it misses a few very critical pieces.
1) The entire conversation is around demographics. India's fertility rate has fallen below replacement. So fertility in most states are like the west and falllen drastically!
2) These conversations on population explosion etc. were valid 10-20 years. Not anymore since TFR is already below 2.1. The conversation should be around how to equip and educate people.
3) The show mostly focuses on 2-3 North Indian cities which are not representative. Cities like Coimbatore have a very elderly population and trending like the west and Japan and the look and feel of these cities are very different from the congested videos shown.
4) In the technology space, no other country can come close to supplying the tech skilled, English speaking population the world needs in the next 20-30 years
5) Showing drastic exceptions like a guy with 10 kids is like the proverbial needle in a haystack and not representatives at all.. its basically poverty tourism.
In your 4 th point India is supplying tech educated English speaking youth but a huge number is migration abroad leading to brain drain
Maybe so. But even applying the brakes on a speeding car, will take take some time to stop. India's population will continue to rise for the next 40 to 50 years.
But yes, the main question is what policies must they put in place now or should I say, decades ago to ensure that this young population is lifted out of the endless cycle of poverty and turning them into useful components of the society .
34% of India still lives on less than USD1/day. Even you convert that to rupees and a much lower standard of living, that is still very poor. The current UN definition of absolute poverty is living on USD2/day. Maybe you might also want to look up the latest report on the % of India's population who has to go to bed hungry. Maybe you might want to know your own country better.

its true that the guy said that plain o' labour intensive manufacturing is key to India's economic growth and employment but the caveat is that today is a world of automation, AI and more importantly, an increasing fragmented world thats turning inwards unlike in the past
India missed the window to become a world factory and now there is simply not enough demand from the world for India to develop a competitive manufacturing sector.
Furthermore, democracy is plagued with inefficiencies. State economy like China and the 4 asian tigers in the early days might help.
AI is important to complement existing infrastructure. AI on its own is useless if the world has no farm and factory. A country with strong manufacturing and agriculture decide what AI/automation to choose, not the reverse.
India is in a sweet spot as noted y this documentary, it has the educated population that the developing countries need to transition to the economies of the future.
Agriculture, construction and many other manual work are the least effected by AI. They'll still be fine for a good few decades.

Not sure if North India stands as a representation for the whole of India. Over in the south, west and the northeast poverty is not that visible.

If he's a muslim, definitely he would find Indonesia a better place to be at. Because of it, being a muslim majority country. Muslims generally like islamic majority country's.

I am not so sure. Things move so slow in India and the infrastructure is so bad. In order for infrastructure to improve, the government needs to move faster. I’m just no sure they can.
YT Channels to verify the progress on the front: Droneman, Powertrain, Johnny's desk. Hope that helps.

Canada is shite now
"All" Indians is highly inaccurate. There are 1.4 million Indians in Canada. They need healthcare personnel educated doctors and nurses. NOT your illiterate unskilled desperate poor refugees. The money spent on space would have been better used on healthcare or schools for their people.
As a South Indian it's not totally true, 😅 this looks more of a north India problem but needs a solution very quick.
Not north it just a problem in up and Bihar and somewhere in jharkhand and chattisgarh most of the North Indian states like haryana Delhi Rajasthan Punjab has higher per capita income and low fertility rate then most of the Southern states so get your facts right 👍
@@shivampandey-mc5qf ok sir
Now entire South India is overtaken by up and bihari people we can see them everywhere. The average fertility rate on entire South India is 1.7
@@smrithiparameshwaram6732 actually thats not bad beacuse if we take close look our population is about to get into fall phase most of the region already have fertility rate below 2 ..which means it is below then replacement level and in upcoming year this will fall to 1.8 which is very low ...up Bihar may have slightly higher fertility which will actually helps us to maintain the balance or else we will have a terrible future ahead in just upcoming few years
@@shivampandey-mc5qf Think South did not control its population to have a lot of Bihari's and UP'ites moving in.
China becomes the developed country because of one child policy. The majority of poor countries caused by overpopulation. In the US, the average of a young couple often has two children.
China scrapped the one-child policy in 2017.
It basically boils down to a very fine balance. You need more people to keep replenishing the work force, or you face a collapse, but at the same time you have to worry about resources and education. It's kinda scary to think about.
Amazing documentary 👍.
I am from Brazil and those problems are very familiar to me. The only solution come from private sector. As long govern do not reform its institution to atract more private capital India as well Brazil will remain in poverty.
Some areas in Brazil are worse than India specially in North but thank God Brazil has controlled it's population growth or it would had been a bigger mess than India.
South, West, and North East part of India will develop fast because fertility rate is low and literacy rate is high. North India and East India will suffer because fertility is high and literacy rate is low.
One of the problems with the analysis of India's population is that it is obsessed with youth and the demographic dividend. As an expert had commented in a video on another channel, India's population rise is in large part due to people living longer, so there are more people around living and working longer. Conversations about population invariably devolve into one among three or four broad topics: education for youth, jobs for youth, some vague idea of economic size, and something about sanitation and public services. Add in a comment or two about religion and politics, and that's where it ends. This is childish in the extreme. A greater proportion of Indians are made up of much older people who are living much longer. They are not just educated, they also come with bags of experience much of it underused. Their skills also need updating and reviving.
Commentators are being extremely myopic when they restrict their conversation to just India's youth, and make no mention whatsoever of the majority of the population which are not in the youth but are mature. They aren't a liability; they come with what the youth cannot possibly have - knowledge, experience and a mature temperament. Every Indian is a potential resource for value-generation. Stop with this obsession with youth when analysing India's population.
If youth doesn't have problem then why this country has the largest youth population who are desperate to migrate abroad ? 😂

@@jkardez4794 I think this is the natural fallout from an economy that is state-dominated and which has not offered as good an environment for private businesses to come up. Even the current number of private businesses is made up largely of cronies and rentiers.
Were the economy more conducive to larger numbers of private entrepreneurs, the experience and expertise of the not-youthful population (40+) would have come in very handy. This would have led to much greater value addition.
Very informative video but also very concerning in some areas.
Population growth is much higher in lower and poorer sections of society which makes the situation worst.
My experience with Indian colleagues is mixed. Individually, they are hard working and good. However, in group, the Indian's caste system and religion become a problem. It is clear that they are fighting each other even outside India.
This. Separately it was normal. Together, because I helped manage them, there would be so many micro aggressions with some prominent ones. After i took them separately and getting each a bit buzzed one told me he didn't like the other due to being a lower caste. Another one told me he didn't like that the other was lighter skinned. It was a mess. Stuff you could teach them out of.

Amazing documentary.
Very good one to begin with
So many degree holders and MBAs but they actually dont know anything. My father used to take interviews for government positions. People with masters in history couldnt answer any historical questions. People with bachelors in English couldnt do a simple translation. So the actual knowledge level of most people are too low. In turn they dont really qualify. Then they go and complain that the system is agaisnt them.

We need to think about the environment

As long as, India Have the Food to produce and can feed its population, things will be all right. the youth have to break the stereotype of white collar job and have an "Can do any thing attitude" then India will be on right direction. Indians are widely used by Other economies. also Indians are the major Engines for the economic growth and development of Gulf nations. They built the infrastructure of this countries. with out them it is unimaginable for the existence of these Nations.
When they slow down making babies , they can end the Rat race, struggle and competition and also focusing on individual health and peace, less struggle . Western Countries are getting frustration, when ever they hear about declining population in India and China. Because they can't get cheap labor as they usually getting from the past centuries. I would rather go for Farming and survive myself instead of buying all this Crap Materials things . then i change my Mode to survival mode. then i live with Nature.
Indians demand everything but give nothing. While abroad, ask nothing but give everything. This is due to the fact that they don't fear the law here. India needs a legal system which the population adheres to. Sadly with democracy and appeasement policies and pitting one community against another, they remain poor and squabbling bunch.

The narrative is so true that India's population hurdles on the key sections of education, employment, healthcare, food security, sanitation, infrastructure, divide between the people based on region, caste, language and different hypothesis. But still I could see that the documentary is biased or done with limited information if speaking of demography from a specific region of the country. The scale of the problem in the video exist majorly in 3 to 4 states of India whereas there are 28 states in India. So I see these kind of dividend exist in every country. where some region lags. This kind of information gives false impression for the viewers that whole women population in country are more illiterate. Where for eg, State of Tamilnadu with population of 75 Million people - (women literacy rate in Rural - 64.55% and in Urban - 82.31%). Hope will improve in future. But the fact is though they are educated, women lack more in participation of the working class because still some follow old tradition of Male earn the money and women look after the family. Its changing a lot in recent years. The Government should support with good policies and attracting global investment, also providing skill training for the new people entering the labor market. The states and central government has to collaborate in addressing the issues together and work more on the states that are left far behind focusing on education with providing job guarantee. The divide between rich and poor is a problem of capitalism which is another hard debatable topic.

Indians eat a lot of vegetables, that's very good. I prefer more people to adopt vegetarian/plant based eating like Indians. Even if India become more populous, as long as they keep to their traditional eating habit they won't ruin the earth like others who eat meat for every meal.
They mostly use fossil fuels and even trees to deep fry their vegetables.
Vegetables are cheaper and they don't have mass production like the west for meat. Guarantee you that as the population makes more money and price of meat drops, much more meat will be eaten. Happens to every nation.
@@djm2189 not happening in India. Indians are becoming more health conscious and are either reducing or completely stopping consumption of meat.

Excellent video 😊
I just LOVE the vegetable vender! What a GREAT GUY & A GREAT, POSITIVE ATTITUDE❤….
Instead of 51 babies born in every 1 minute, India must adopt a strong policy to drop population increases to 51 babies born in every 1 hour. That's will bring a huge change in a society as well as economic growth and financial stability in the government's expenses and lower loans or credits. India needs 2 child norms policy for every type of family, irrespective of caste or creed, must adopt it
Your comment doesn't make any sense 🤨🤔😐🙄😏😣😥🤐
India's TFR has already reached 2.0 in 2021. This means an average family is now having just 2 kids on an average. There is no need for any coercive policies now, it is the demographic momentum that will keep the population growing for the next 3 decades. After that India will also see a rapid decline in population like east Asia. The issue at present is to plan and prepare for this huge population, utilising resources efficiently.
Is there not a way of being able to connect those making glass bangles and the like to western customers who have more purchasing power?
Many have real talents that could be in greater demand if they have the ability to reach a wider crowd- and perhaps earn more per unit than they currently do as well as give them the tools to create a wider array of items using the same talents.
I am sure it is much more complicated than that, but surely anything is better than the status quo.
The thing is buisness isn't that easy, also customer buys products on the basis of their brand value. Sure tourist can buy them upon their visit however it's just as their souvenir or a token of memory. There are some companies/NGOs which employs such artisans and add brand value to their craft however I am unaware of their growth report. E-commerce definitely plays a big role in this. It's on us to search for them and help them grow bigger
Indian government is a tax terrorist
Education is the key to human development. The state governments don't plan to keep the students retained in the education system. Only education atleast high school education to all, especially to girls should be a the goal of central and all state governments. Investment in education to all strata of the society is essential. The job creators are merely less than 1% of the Indias population. The rest of the people are not even high school graduates.
What is more ironic is that while India is already the most populous country, it is still not a member of the UN security council.
That's international clout doesn't come from reproducing. Money at historical achievements determine it. All 5 countries on p5 were leading members of allied forces. Also China will veto India's inclusion. Only way India can get permanent membership is if veto is repealed. But veto will never be repealed as no country wants to give up its power
Population doesn’t mean much. Just more people having children
This is so stupid
Veto power is accorded to the P5 and it takes All of them to approve India's inclusion in the UN council. China will always oppose that.

The globe is the common home for all mankind, and we should display the spirit of fraternity. Helping India to solve its overpopulation problem is to help ourselves. The ultimate solution would be opening up immigration from India to sparsely populated countries with huge land, such as the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Opening up Western markets and technological transfer to India to help it in developing its economy so that all Indians can enjoy the same prosperous life like Westerners do.
I think we as a citizen must focus on what we are spending our precious years of youth and money at. While we are in school, first identify what we could do best and then try to build our career on it then. Let us make this mind set a national mindset too cause we need to understand that government cannot provide job to everyone, we need to find what we want to do to earn our living. Just get rid of a seat job mindset, if you could be a good Barber, be one. If you could be a good carpenter, be one. If cars etc interests you, be an automative mechanic.
Good advice.
With automation and digital technologies, how will the increased population be able to find meaningful employment?

Demand and education investments drives growth in the labor market. Low growth plus educated/underemployed youth equals a disaster. High growth with few education opportunities equals economic bottleneck but companies get creative with their training. Low labor demand and poor educational opportunities is where is a lot of countries stay stuck. India has a lot of educated people, but they look abroad for better opportunities where they are demanded. Like the Philippines, they could end up becoming a "labor exporter" if they can't fix things at home.
india is better than other country in terms of railways better than my country ph
This is very sad
Its not the heat. Its the humility 😊 how many of these can i write on and still be welcome
I wish the poor people especially among the underprivileged communities will take up education seriously. An educated should make at least 15 others educated. That way we can lead a voluntary revolution. Education is the only possible way to fight poverty, backwardness, oppression and inequality. Learn from the largest literate state of kerala. I dont mean kerala is superior. In social case, rest of the states can learn from kerala. But kerala should learn how to nurture industries like Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
Having too many babies born in a country is a sign of there is a large pool of people are uneducated. Large pool of uneducated people equals to lack of companies opening up to create jobs and boost economy. Education is always the key to build a country though is will take a few generations to see the results.
