India Tries Using Cash Bonuses to Slow Birthrates
By JIM YARDLEY
As its population threatens to turn from an asset into a burden, India seeks ways to encourage delayed childbirth.

... Waiting also would allow India more time to curb a rapidly growing population that threatens to turn its demography from a prized asset into a crippling burden. With almost 1.2 billion people, India is disproportionately young; roughly half the population is younger than 25. This ”demographic dividend” is one reason some economists predict that India could surpass China in economic growth rates within five years.

One big reason is the seldom-mentioned but omnipresent alliance between the diversity lobby and the cheap labor lobby.
