&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is critical that we safeguard young people&amp;rsquo;s well-being because India&amp;rsquo;s welfare hinges on them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;World Population Day is marked on July 11 every year to focus attention on the importance of population-related issues. It was first observed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1989 and aims to raise the discourse on sustainable ways to safeguard each life that adds up to a population.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As flagged by a UNDP report last year, and subsequently in a global study by The Lancet, India will stabilise its population 12 years earlier than expected. Therefore, the window India has to leverage its &amp;lsquo;demographic dividend&amp;rsquo; is narrower than we had thought. Fears of a &amp;lsquo;population explosion&amp;rsquo; are misplaced; instead, it is critical that we focus our attention on safeguarding young people&amp;rsquo;s well-being because India&amp;rsquo;s welfare hinges on them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Impact of the pandemic&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At 253 million, India&amp;rsquo;s adolescent population is among the largest. Over 62% of India is aged between 15 and 59 years, and the median age of the population is less than 30 years. India&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;demographic dividend&amp;rsquo; represents the potential for economic growth based on the age structure of the population. However, transforming this potential into reality requires adolescents and the youth to be healthy and well-educated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Even before COVID-19 caused country-wide school closures, India&amp;rsquo;s underfunded education system was inadequately equipped to provide the skills young people need to take advantage of emerging employment opportunities. According to the World Bank, public expenditure on education constituted 4.4% of GDP in 2019 and only 3.4% of GDP in 2020. Another report revealed that India stands 62nd in terms of public expenditure per student, and fares badly in quality of education measures such as student-teacher ratios. Coupled with the impact of COVID-19, this paints a bleak picture of the state of education today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In India, more than 32 crore students have been affected by the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19. Of these, about 15.8 crore are female. The number of schoolgirls who are impacted is 158 million and many of those who have dropped out are unlikely to go back to school. Schools have remained closed even in remote areas where the effect of the pandemic has been minimal. Studies show that school closures have a serious impact on the lives and mental well-being of children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is critical that we safeguard young people&amp;rsquo;s well-being because India&amp;rsquo;s welfare hinges on them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;World Population Day is marked on July 11 every year to focus attention on the importance of population-related issues. It was first observed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1989 and aims to raise the discourse on sustainable ways to safeguard each life that adds up to a population.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As flagged by a UNDP report last year, and subsequently in a global study by The Lancet, India will stabilise its population 12 years earlier than expected. Therefore, the window India has to leverage its &amp;lsquo;demographic dividend&amp;rsquo; is narrower than we had thought. Fears of a &amp;lsquo;population explosion&amp;rsquo; are misplaced; instead, it is critical that we focus our attention on safeguarding young people&amp;rsquo;s well-being because India&amp;rsquo;s welfare hinges on them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Impact of the pandemic&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At 253 million, India&amp;rsquo;s adolescent population is among the largest. Over 62% of India is aged between 15 and 59 years, and the median age of the population is less than 30 years. India&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;demographic dividend&amp;rsquo; represents the potential for economic growth based on the age structure of the population. However, transforming this potential into reality requires adolescents and the youth to be healthy and well-educated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Even before COVID-19 caused country-wide school closures, India&amp;rsquo;s underfunded education system was inadequately equipped to provide the skills young people need to take advantage of emerging employment opportunities. According to the World Bank, public expenditure on education constituted 4.4% of GDP in 2019 and only 3.4% of GDP in 2020. Another report revealed that India stands 62nd in terms of public expenditure per student, and fares badly in quality of education measures such as student-teacher ratios. Coupled with the impact of COVID-19, this paints a bleak picture of the state of education today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In India, more than 32 crore students have been affected by the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19. Of these, about 15.8 crore are female. The number of schoolgirls who are impacted is 158 million and many of those who have dropped out are unlikely to go back to school. Schools have remained closed even in remote areas where the effect of the pandemic has been minimal. Studies show that school closures have a serious impact on the lives and mental well-being of children.&lt;/p&gt;

It was first observed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1989 and aims to raise the discourse on sustainable ways to safeguard each life that adds up to a population.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As flagged by a UNDP report last year, and subsequently in a global study by The Lancet, India will stabilise its population 12 years earlier than expected. Therefore, the window India has to leverage its &amp;lsquo;demographic dividend&amp;rsquo; is narrower than we had thought. Fears of a &amp;lsquo;population explosion&amp;rsquo; are misplaced; instead, it is critical that we focus our attention on safeguarding young people&amp;rsquo;s well-being because India&amp;rsquo;s welfare hinges on them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Impact of the pandemic&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At 253 million, India&amp;rsquo;s adolescent population is among the largest. Over 62% of India is aged between 15 and 59 years, and the median age of the population is less than 30 years. India&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;demographic dividend&amp;rsquo; represents the potential for economic growth based on the age structure of the population. However, transforming this potential into reality requires adolescents and the youth to be healthy and well-educated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Even before COVID-19 caused country-wide school closures, India&amp;rsquo;s underfunded education system was inadequately equipped to provide the skills young people need to take advantage of emerging employment opportunities. According to the World Bank, public expenditure on education constituted 4.4% of GDP in 2019 and only 3.4% of GDP in 2020. Another report revealed that India stands 62nd in terms of public expenditure per student, and fares badly in quality of education measures such as student-teacher ratios. Coupled with the impact of COVID-19, this paints a bleak picture of the state of education today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In India, more than 32 crore students have been affected by the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19. Of these, about 15.8 crore are female. The number of schoolgirls who are impacted is 158 million and many of those who have dropped out are unlikely to go back to school. Schools have remained closed even in remote areas where the effect of the pandemic has been minimal. Studies show that school closures have a serious impact on the lives and mental well-being of children.&lt;/p&gt;

Tapping on the potential of the youth -Poonam Muttreja and Dipa Nag Choudhury

-The Hindu It is critical that we safeguard young people’s well-being because India’s welfare hinges on them World Population Day is marked on July 11 every year to focus attention on the importance of population-related issues. It was first observed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1989 and aims to raise the discourse on sustainable ways to safeguard each life that adds up to a population. As flagged by a UNDP report last year, and subsequently in a global study by The Lancet, India will stabilise its population 12 years earlier than expected. Therefore, the window India has to leverage its ‘demographic dividend’ is narrower than we had thought. Fears of a ‘population explosion’ are misplaced; instead, it is critical that we focus our attention on safeguarding young people’s well-being because India’s welfare hinges on them. Impact of the pandemic At 253 million, India’s adolescent population is among the largest. Over 62% of India is aged between 15 and 59 years, and the median age of the population is less than 30 years. India’s ‘demographic dividend’ represents the potential for economic growth based on the age structure of the population. However, transforming this potential into reality requires adolescents and the youth to be healthy and well-educated. Even before COVID-19 caused country-wide school closures, India’s underfunded education system was inadequately equipped to provide the skills young people need to take advantage of emerging employment opportunities. According to the World Bank, public expenditure on education constituted 4.4% of GDP in 2019 and only 3.4% of GDP in 2020. Another report revealed that India stands 62nd in terms of public expenditure per student, and fares badly in quality of education measures such as student-teacher ratios. Coupled with the impact of COVID-19, this paints a bleak picture of the state of education today. In India, more than 32 crore students have been affected by the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19. Of these, about 15.8 crore are female. The number of schoolgirls who are impacted is 158 million and many of those who have dropped out are unlikely to go back to school. Schools have remained closed even in remote areas where the effect of the pandemic has been minimal. Studies show that school closures have a serious impact on the lives and mental well-being of children. Please click here to read more.
