the actual explanation starts at 5:20
1. there aren't enough jobs for all that population
2. outdated education system, unqualified wrokers

[altaykaan]

In western countries, minijobs, part time jobs are so popular but in eastern countries it is not. So instead of hiring 3-4 different shift part time workers, eastern companies try to hire full time just one worker then push extra work hours to him and not try to not pay salary of extra hours... So eastern or all countries should focus the creating part time jobs for decreasing unemployment rate (i think).

Bihar and up are smashing our efforts to move forward.

It's the century of artificial intelligence, overpopulation is definitely not a good thing

The shortfalls in education can be bridged by re-training people with just the essential skills - it's not going to need much training to be an assembler in a Foxconn or a Tesla factory. Problem is, no corporation is willing to invest in doing this, just as no government has invested in cheap housing for the masses of young people near job centers, who will gladly work if given the opportunity. Not to mention, most employees will not be faithful to the company that gave them industry relevant skills because of the desire for upward mobility. But it can be done if they all three parties come together. Also, agriculture should be made a profession that pays enough to sustain families - this is the real challenge.

There is 8 billion people in this world, more than half is living under 10 dollars a day. And there's only 400.000 elephants. Humans won ok. Do we really need more people in this crazy world?

[trajanz]

Exactly 1.4 billion and it's increasing, taking out the too young and too old let's say 600-900 million. Does India have that many jobs? every year people are entering the work force as well. But people aren't leaving the workforce in the same amount. It's a nightmare waiting to happen.

[jayaramanpr]

PM Modi after 10 years in power never thought of controlling Indias population insyead concentrating only on winning elections every 5 years.

[thansri]

That is terrible. India will fall apart from this problem. Not enough resource not enough food and more poor people.

Education system needs a rework. I am Canadian and have worked with Indian colleagues in Canada, and now Europe. They were all dedicated and very hardworkers. But, If they were educated in India, their skill level was noticeably lower. This was not their fault. The Indians who went through the North American or European education system were far and wide the best workers I have ever worked with.

[secularreactions]

There is also the water 💦 crisis which is looming

[mayursable]

Buddy, india's unemployment rate is like 20 to 25 % the low rate u told is bcoz people gave up on finding a job

[alimfuzzy]

Some of the smartest people I know are from India, unfortunately some others I've met had fake degrees and were terrible to work with.

One guy I knew had a PhD in computer science yet was coding at a grade school level, yet he insisted he was a genius and got mad whenever anyone found bugs in his work (which was almost his entire code).

Sad thing was he was being paid over 400K and they wouldnt fire him and get someone qualified.

"The catastrophic effect of overpopulation did not turn out to be true thanks to innovation and technology" or did it? The negative environmental impact of human activity has just increased dramatically in the last decades to the point of fearing it would ruin the livability of Earth for us little by little over the long term. So did it not turn out to be catastrophic? I believe that with better innovation, Earth can still sustain probably a bit higher population but not with the way it is living today.

We got to upskill ourselves, and the companies need to invest heavily to train the workforce for the industry. It is not going to be labour intensive anymore, mostly because of automation, the future holds good for highly talented and creative personalities.

[dariuszb.]

The worthless education is problem not only in India. In Europe too there are tens of millions highly educated people in fields where no one needs them and that's because countries don't have their rational education policy and fund literally everything which has "education" in its name. It produces unemployment and wastes a lot of money which should be put elsewhere.

China's growth is not stalling. It's projected to grow at 5.5%

[vinniechan]

India fertility rate has fallen below replacement ratio and it does export a lot of people so the population growth might cool and if they don't do one child policy they might able to pull off a soft landing

[domosayain]

Dude PLEASE DO ONE ON SOUTH AFRICA. My country has so many issues you can choose from! I just enjoy your videos !

[MeridianMindset]

You incorrectly, or incompletely defined demographic dividend. It's not about having a young population, it's about the period where your dependency ratio drops, because people have stopped having alot of kids, but the population isn't yet old enough to have alot of retirees.
