SUMMARY:Racing Against Time
DESCRIPTION:This panel discussion explores India’s critical challenges to growing self-sufficient and rich before it grows old\, as examined in the book India Out of Work by Santosh Mehrotra and Jajati K. Parida. Following the discussion will be an audience Q&A. \nWith only fifteen years left of its demographic dividend\, India is staring at a stark future – it may age into a poorer nation. Millions remain unemployed\, underemployed or trapped in precarious work. From sluggish economic expansion to widening inequality as well as the disturbingly small presence of women in India’s workforce\, they unpack the paradox of jobless growth\, debunk the myth of significant poverty alleviation and reveal the systemic barriers holding millions back from a good life. Without urgent reform\, India faces a future of deepening inequality\, stagnant wages and sacrificed potential. \nThe race against time has begun\, and India is already alarmingly behind! \n\n\nCan India Grow Rich Before It Grows Old?\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdFBNdqxs9AIKdIQW_oY8zmRKZnPBLZ5pHbENdogyx_ecCYaQ/viewform?usp=pp_url)\n*Speakers*: Santosh Mehrotra\, Rituparna Chakraborty\, G Manjunath\, Sridhar Krishna\, Rajeev Gowda\n*Event Categories*: Books\, Development\, Nonfiction\, Society
