Q28.
To obtain full benefits of demographic dividend, what should India do?
A. Promoting skill development
B. Introducing more social security schemes
C. Reducing infant mortality rate
D. Privatization of higher education
Answer

A

Explanation

Social security schemes are for non-working population (old-age pension), so they don't provide benefit of demographic dividend. Reducing IMR is a Millennium Development Goal but doesn't directly provide demographic dividend benefit. Privatizing higher education would make it costlier and out of reach. Skill development is the correct answer — a large working-age population is only an advantage if they are skilled.
