  • One Nation, Many Ages: Building Education, Care, and Equal Chances for Every Generation
    2025/12/24
    India is going through a population shift that touches everything, how girls study, how women work, how young people dream, and how the country prepares for an aging future. In this episode, host Sarthak sits down with Dr. Deepa Prasad, Chief of Programme and Technical Support, and Mr. Jaydeep Biswas, Chief of Policy, Advocacy, and Partnership, to break it all open. We get into why fertility is falling, why so many women still have an unmet need for contraception, and how social norms inside homes shape the choices women can and can’t make. The conversation also looks at the “demographic sweet spot,” the pressure on education and skills, and why one in four girls still marries before 18. Dr. Deepa explains how life-skills programs, adolescent-friendly clinics, and a private AI chatbot are helping young people navigate sensitive questions with real information and not myths. Jeby brings the big picture: gender dividends, unpaid care work, workplaces that respond to women’s health, and what India can learn from countries already grappling with ageing populations. Short, sharp, and rooted in lived realities, this episode explores the India we’re becoming and the choices that will shape the next decade for women, youth, and elders.
