So what?
• Large Numbers in working age group
• Likely to remain till about 2050• Low but changing dependency
• But what about their educational backgrounds?
Some things well known
• Between 40-50% of those enrolled drop out of school before completing upper primary
• Quality of schooling extremely poor• Most who are ‘literate’ can barely read
and write their own name
• What is likely to be the ‘quality of the dividend’?

Would the dividend be realized?
• What will the hundreds of millions of poorly educated do?
• Not Agriculture given expected productivity improvements
• Not organized manufacturing• Not IT, not BPO, not R&D, not Financial
sector, not sales and marketing
• Are things really that bleak?

What can we predict?
• High growth can create opportunities for all
• Better educational/skill attainment would open many more opportunities
• Numbers too large for the govt. to subsidize
• Yes there is a dividend coming• But it could have been much larger
