Answer 1

The correct option is A The proportion of youth in total population increases fast

Demographic Dividend is a phenomenon which occurs when the proportion of working population out of the total population is high. A country is expected to reap the demographic dividend when the share of its working population is larger than the share of its non-working population. India is currently going through a phase of the demographic dividend.
