The 'Demographic Dividend' is an automatic economic guarantee; as long as a country's working-age population exceeds its dependent population, the nation will inevitably experience rapid GDP growth and poverty reduction.

Answer: False

The demographic dividend is merely a 'window of opportunity,' not a guarantee. If the expanding working-age population lacks quality education, healthcare, and vocational skills, or if the economy fails to generate sufficient labor-intensive jobs, the dividend will turn into a 'demographic disaster.' This results in massive youth unemployment, social unrest, and wasted human capital, as seen in several struggling developing nations.
