66 % of India in 15-66 age group
 
Not only the bulk of India’s population , nearly two-thirds, is in the working age group from 15-64 years, the median age of the country is still just 24 (even it’s up from 22 a decade ago) making it a rather young country with a large potentially productive workforce. On both counts, however, there are wide variations across states.
 
While India might have a whopping 767.5 million in the working age group, there proportion of working age population varies widely from a high of 74.3% in tiny Daman and Diu, to a low of 55% in Bihar where 40% of the population is in the 0-14 age group. It is the same in Utter Pradesh, another high fertility state, here the working age population constitutes just 58.6% while children constitute 36% of the population. Or India, the proportion of children (0-14 years) in 31%. In low fertility states like Kerala and Tamilnadu, children constitute just 23% and 24% of the population. O the larger state, Tamilnadu has the highest proportion of population in the working age 69.8%.
 
In general, among the larger states the list of states with a high proportion of the population in the working ages bracket overlaps quiet a lot with the list of states generally considered among the more developed.
 
This is good news to the extent that they are better placed to make “demographic dividend’ pay than others. (Times of India, 8th September 2013)
a) What is demographic dividend?
b) Name the states with highest and lowest working age population. Also give the reasons of such
variations found across states.
