India is the most populated country in the world with nearly a fifth of the world's population. According to the 2022 revision of the World Population Prospects[1][2] the population stood at 1,407,563,842.
India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65% below the age of 35. In 2020, the average age of an Indian is 29 years, compared to 37 for China and 48 for Japan; and, by 2030, India's dependency ratio will be just over 0.4.[3] However, the number of children in India peaked more than a decade ago and is now falling. The number of children under the age of five peaked in 2007, and since then the number has been falling. The number of Indians under 15 years old peaked slightly later (in 2011) and is now also declining.[4]
There are significant issues affecting young people around education in India, although in many respects this is a success story. Other persistent problems include child labour in India, malnutrition in India, street children in India, child marriage in India, child trafficking in India and others.
