DIRECTIONS Q. 21 to 30: Read the passage and answer the following questions:

That may seem like an absurd description for India, an economy the International Monetary Fund

expects to expand 7.3 per cent in the fiscal year through March 2019 and 7.5 per cent in the next. Yet

the reality is that even at its current pace, India is having trouble creating enough new jobs for its

massive workforce or enough wealth to broaden its middle class.

With its demographic tailwind and massive developmental needs, Asia’s third-biggest economy

should be growing at double-digit rates. Holding India back are glacial economic reforms, a fragile

banking sector, rigid labour laws and a spotty educational system that imparts limited skills to the 12

million young people who enter the job market each year.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to address these challenges. Introduction of Goods and

Services Tax (GST), Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and Make in India campaign are steps

towards in this regard.

Yet analysts generally agree that more needs to be done to open up the economy, attract foreign

capital and generate the kind of wealth and business opportunities that has broadened the middle

class in China, whose $12.2 trillion economy is more than four times as big as India’s ($2.6 trillion).

“It hasn’t embraced global trade and foreign direct investments in the way China aggressively

succeeded,” said Jim O’Neill, a former Goldman Sachs Asset Management chair and ex-commercial

secretary to the UK Treasury and who coined the acronym BRIC in 2001 to describe Brazil, Russia,

India and China as a group.

“India has created big wealth for a limited number of people at the highest income levels, but it hasn’t

created a massive pool of consumers by creating hundred of millions of middle income class,” he

said.

India’s economy has averaged 7 per cent growth since its reforms began in 1991 under Prime Minister

P V NarasimhaRao. China, by contrast, expanded by an average of almost 10 per cent each year since

its economic opening and modernization started some 40 years ago.

The latest pulse check for India’s economy comes Friday. Economists forecast gross domestic product

expanded 7.6 per cent in the three months through June from a year earlier.

With more than 90 per cent of India’s labour force employed in the nation’s informal economy, the

government has struggled to produce reliable jobs data to even get an accurate read on the level of

joblessness in India. A glimpse into just how dire the job market is came in March, when the

government announced 90,000 vacancies at the state-run Indian Railways, the nation’s biggest civilian

employer, and a staggering 28 million people applied.

The rail jobs pay a minimum of Rs 2,16,000 annually -- a princely amount in a country where per-

capita income is about $1,800, versus more than $8,800 in China.

India should be enjoying a demographically powered economic dividend at this stage of its

development. It’s one of the youngest countries in the world with a median age of 28, compared to

China’s 37 and 47 in Japan.
