Correct:
B
Explanation
The demographic dividend refers to the economic growth potential that can result from shifts in a population’s age structure, mainly when the share of the working-age population is larger than the non-working-age share of the population. According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), this occurs when the proportion of working-age people (15 to 64) is high. However, in the Indian context and official statistics like the Census of India, the working-age population is typically defined as the 15 to 59 years age group.
- Option B is correct as it identifies the productive workforce bracket.
- Option C (above 60) and Option D (0-6 years) represent the dependent population.
- To realize the dividend, a country must invest in health, education, and job creation to ensure the large working-age population is productive.
