Why the question: A recent report that focused on the current status and outlook for youth employment in India paints a grim picture of the country’s widely touted ‘demographic dividend’, which appears set to waste away unless there are immediate and targeted policy interventions. Key Demand of the question: To write about demographic dividend, impediments to achieving it especially skill mismatch and ways to overcome it. Directive word: Analyse – When asked to analyse, you must examine methodically the structure or nature of the topic by separating it into component parts and present them in a summary. Structure of the answer: Introduction: Begin by defining demographic dividend and its various features. Body: First, write about the various impediments to achieving the dividend – demographic dividend may turn into a liability in the absence of enough jobs and the required skilled workforce etc. Next, suggest ways to overcome the limitations. Conclusion: Conclude with a way forward.
