it is easy to ignore the fact that India is also home to a very large number of aged in absolute terms and that by 2027, it will have over 170 million people above 60 years of age, almost double of what we have today. ============================ According UN, Indian life expectancy is 60-62 years old. The number of people who can live to the age 0f 60 is not big. So, India has no luck to care 170 million people above 60 years of age.
Chinese life expectancy is 71-73 Russian 70-72 Brasil 71-73

Any idea of per capita income of Brazil, Russia and China..? and the GDP of BRIC? Our assets are a good number of intelligent hardworking young(18-45 years) population that is productive. Our (India's) dependents population is crucial but in the next 10-15 years we have a huge number of 18 productive population that can help India develop. China doesnt, Russia doesnt, Brazil has some but much lesser. Please understand that Life expectancy is not the only indicator to be taken into account.

correction:
On other hand, if India can not offer job for these young people, the young people are not hope of India. They are burdens. Please understand this. Look at the streets, to count how many jobless young people. They are fooling around and doing nothingand creating nothing but comsuming resource

Life expectancy means the life quality. Other other hand, if India can offer job for these young people, the young people are not hope of India. They are burdens. Please understand this. Look at the streets, to count how many jobless young people. They are fooling around and doing nothingand creating nothing but comsuming resource.
