India's Population Growth VS Dwindling Opportunity
China no longer has the world’s highest population.
India has inched past it with population clocking in approx. 1.4286 billion to China’s 1.4257 Billion.
And now India has a problem: its job market and economy struggle under the weight of its new first place population ranking.
Their economic growth can’t keep up with their population growth and marks bad news for the new surge of young working age denizens.
Poverty is also an issue, with their gracious statistical poverty line being anything below a menial $1.90 per day. Although the numbers there have been easing. A large part of the India’s population fall into the world’s poor.
So what does India do about high population growth / low opportunity?
The Government tries to allay the problem by pouring incentives into its manufacturing sector, trying to follow in the footsteps of China (manufacturing super-hub) but this has yielded only slowly inching growth.
The best solution is the micro-scale, unorthodox one
Individuals need to create opportunities.
It’s never been a more destined time to get creative, break the rules and sway astray from the “normal” cycle. Now’s the best time to step up to the plate. The old systems and ways of doing things are crumbling globally. It’s the best time for anybody wanting to take on the challenge and think outside the box, with the most influential effect.
There needs to be a bold upheaval of old, ineffectual cultural mindsets.
The best most valuable resource is always the prime real estate between an individual’s ears. Once this is corner-stoned, experience the unbridled power of the individual’s imagination, and combined with the multiplier effect of today’s connected world, magical things can happen.
According to the cosmos, and everything else, it’s never been a better time to shed off ye olde ways.
The “3rd world country” labels can be outgrown; it’s high time for a glow up.
