Question:
The phenomenon of "demographic dividend" of a country is related to:

Options

(1) A sharp decline in the total population
(2) A decline in the infant mortality rate
(3) An increase in the sex ratio
(4) An increase in the population in the working-age group
Answer: (4) An increase in the population in the working-age group

Explanation:
Demographic dividend refers to the economic growth potential that can result from shifts in a population's age structure — specifically when a large proportion of the population falls in the working-age group (15–64 years) relative to dependents (children and elderly). When the working-age population bulge is productively employed, it boosts savings, investment, and economic growth. India is currently experiencing this window of demographic dividend.
