Poverty will be a main problem in this country. In about 20 years, there will be an increase in active population. The same thing will happen to other developing countries where there won't enough jobs for the active population and a much higher unemployment rate.

With technology improving, life expectancy will increase. In about 20 years, the active population of 2010, aka the baby boomers, will shift up, increasing the inactive population. The same thing will happen to many other developed countries where the level of dependency will increase which means there will not be enough active workers to support the elderly.

The world's 10 most populous river basins will be vital for economic growth – but only if water shortage threat is tackled

Water is the very stuff of life, yet billions of people do not have access to a clean, reliable source.

Show

What you don’t hear much about, however, is the most tragic and outrageous consequence of India’s failure to feed its people adequately: starvation deaths.
