    Solution

    Population dividend is also known as Demographic dividend which refers to a period (20 to 30 years) when fertility rates fall due to significant reductions in child and infant mortality rates. It occurs when the proportion of working people in the total population is high. This indicates that more people have the potential to be productive and contribute to the growth of the economy.
