Union Budget 2018-19: Budget for Children in New India
Published By: HAQCRC on eSS | Published Date: February, 03 , 2018India is currently going through a major demographic transition and it is this transition that is
going to make India one of the world’s youngest countries with largest young population. Of
this young population, a significant 37 per cent belong to the age group of 0-18 years. With
such dynamic and significant demographic dividend, it is quintessential to see how the
country is looking at this age group in terms of financial resource allocation and how it fits
into the government’s focus on engineering “an inclusive and sustainable growth for India”
as outlined in the Economic Survey of 2017-18.
