Even being
the youngest, full of potential and vibrant economy India is not growing at a
desirable pace. The rudimentary barriers are corruption, difficulty in access
to finance and credit, and nonadaptive labor laws, though some recent
initiatives’ has been taken to promote entrepreneurialism in the country. Due
to filthy system, lack of knowledge and enthusiasm the benefits of improvement
initiatives and growth are not being enjoyed by all sections of the society,
which further leading imbalance, instability and crime. So the GDP keeps
growing but the gross income per capita hasn't shown any remarkable change. The
government had promised of inclusive growth but hasn't been able to cater to
the economic needs of more than a billion people. The demographic dividend thus
becomes a demographic catastrophe.
In the Global
Competitiveness Report, corruption was considered the key barrier to business
in India, followed by difficulty accessing finance and high tax rates. This is
also highlighted in the IMF report, which cited complex business regulations,
lengthy litigation, corruption and bureaucracy as obstacles -World Economic
Forum Global Competitiveness Report 2018.
The female
participation is lowest in the region. Educational, social-cultural rigidities
make it harder for women to join the workforce. The Forum’s 2017-2018 Global
Competitiveness Index ranked India 129th out of 136 in its sub index measuring
female participation in the labour force.
