The Booming of India's Birth Rate

This demand for water would be further accentuated by a doubling demand for food. It isn't startling, therefore, that there have been increasing disagreements and litigations between Indian states over water consumption.
             India's latent problems with a rising agricultural workforce are exposed in another article by Raymond Zhong and Saptarishi Dutta in the Wall Street Journal. Agriculture is responsible for half of the Indian employment but only 1/5th of their GDP. The years 2005 to 2012 saw a decrease in agricultural based jobs by 37 million which could be attributed to boom in the industrial and service sectors. However a turnaround in this trend is expected through to drop in the GDP forcing a reverse migration of workforce from cities to agriculture. Inflation and the rising cost of living in metropolitan cities like Chennai and New Delhi are proving hard for survival of workers at the lower end of the economic scale. The increase in numbers entering the workforce is not matched by the number of jobs created by the economy. An increase of 90 million in the workforce is expected over the next 15 years primarily involving low skilled construction labor.
             Finally in his article in The Hindu, Jinoy Jose P article discusses about India's issue of rising population against a lack of energy resources. India has 17% of the global population however it only has 0.3% and 2% of oil and uranium resources, 0.7% and 0.2% of of gas and coal reserves respectively. India ranks at the bottom of the pyramid in terms of per capita-level consumption of energy. This mismatch will increase under the western style growth model which relies heavily on energy sources. Jinoy suggests no direct solution to this, except exploring renewable sources of energy. It also emphasises on the governments need to discourage profit seeking organisations from buying energy from overseas. Rather indigenous production of renewable energy must be encouraged which would translate into more jobs.
