Abstract

It has been a long journey from the ‘Population Problem’ to the ‘Demographic Dividend’ and from ‘Surplus Labor’ to ‘Skill Development’. Some of us have not changed the vision and always held that mouths are also born with hands and capabilities latent to be developed. But it would be naïve to pretend that the problematique is not severe any more. Dividends can become losses and there is nothing more frustrating than unrequited skills. The fact that planning has been abolished means that population studies are on the back burner.
