This book quantitatively analyses data to demonstrate India's
recent progress in the education sector. India, as one of the
world's fastest growing economies, currently enjoys what is termed
a 'demographic dividend' meaning that, compared to most other
countries, it has a relatively young working age population. In
order to exploit this advantage, the author argues that India needs
to make this young population economically productive through
education. The chapters in the book address whether India has
succeeded in doing so, both in terms of numbers educated and the
quality of their education. The author draws on specialist surveys
conducted by India's National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) in 2008
and 2014 which examine the state of education in India.
