Abstract: This paper discusses India’s demographic dynamics and argues that policymakers have the widest window of opportunity with that segment of population which is poised to enter the workforce between 2030 and 2050. This paper highlights pathways through which early childhood development potentially influences educational and employment prospects and analyzes the present status of India’s children and lessons to be learnt from the development experience of some advanced economies.
