‘The Demographic Dividend in India could easily turn into a Demographic Wasteland if not paid enough attention’. In light of the statement above elaborate what measures have been taken by the government to enhance the capacity of youth to be more productive and more employable? (15 Marks)

Mentor’s comment:

  • In the intro, briefly describe what Demographic Dividend is.
  • In the main body, describe with the support of some facts and figures demographic composition of India in terms of age and how it is going to have high working-age people in the near future and how now skilling them well and not creating enough opportunities for them will lead to India squandering the opportunity. After that describe the various initiatives taken by the government in that direction. Cite various schemes and measures taken by the government with the objective of increasing the skills and employability of the youth.
  • In the conclusion stress the need to implement the steps that would lead to skilling of the people and steps that needs to be taken to create employment opportunities for them.

      The question says: In light of the statement above elaborate “what measures have been taken by the government” to enhance the capacity of youth to be more productive and more employable?
      SO first part of your answer needs to discuss this.
      Your main body just discussed the way forward needed.
      Read the questions carefully and then read the mentor comment.
      The discussion after the intro is fine.
      After that describe the various initiatives taken by the government in that direction. Cite various schemes and measures taken by the government with the objective of increasing the skills and employability of the youth.

      The content of the answer is perfect.
      You have touched upon all the basic elements of the question in a decent manner.
      The depth of the content is very good.
      But the presentation and structuring needs lots of improvement.
      Give clear demarcation when changing the direction of the discussion.
      Also, write shorter statements. That will make your content not over-explained and crisp.
      Use flowchart in some parts pf your answers.

      Good use of the flowchart and the content in it is fine.
      But you failed to discuss the main theme of the answer.
      Your main body is just the way forward.
      The question says: In light of the statement above elaborate “what measures have been taken by the government” to enhance the capacity of youth to be more productive and more employable?
      So the first part of your answer needs to discuss this.
      Read the questions carefully and then read the mentor comment.
      The way forwards are fine but do use shorter statements and explanations to make your points crisp.

      The question is not asking about the +ves and -ves of the demographic dividend.
      But your main focus of the answer went into discussing this aspect while the demand of the question was: In light of the statement above elaborate “what measures have been taken by the government” to enhance the capacity of youth to be more productive and more employable?
      So he first part of your answer needs to discuss this.
      Your main body just discussed the critical analysis of the DD while only 4 points were discussed in the steps taken by the Govt and with least amount of explanation.
      Read the questions carefully and then read the mentor comment.

      Very good intro.
      The overall content is very good.
      The structure is decent and points are deep.
      Do underline important stuff in your answers.
      You can also use flowcharts.
      Overall, the answer is very good.
