🇮🇳 India briefing
Why it matters, neighbors, workers versus retirees. Generate a draft, write it yourself, then expand or edit any paragraph.
A memo you can forward: why fertility matters, how this country compares with its neighbors, and how many working-age people versus retirees the pyramid already implies. Tick sections, park each chart next to the paragraph it belongs with, then generate — or start from blank headings and write it yourself. After that, every heading and paragraph is editable, and Expand / Tighten / Ask AI can rewrite one section at a time.
India is already below replacement in NFHS-5, but religion and state maps still decide which India is aging.
AI prose uses the same OpenAI key as Cohort — add billing credits at platform.openai.com if generate or Expand fails. Limited to a few memos per hour. You can always type over the text.
This briefing will cover
- NFHS-5 (2019–21) national TFR is 1.99. Muslim 2.36, Hindu 1.94 — a gap that has narrowed sharply since NFHS-1.
- State maps (SRS / NFHS) matter more than the religion row for school places and internal migration.
- A large working-age cohort is a dividend only if jobs and skills absorb it. That is an economic constraint, not a communal slogan.
Working-age counts are modeled from today’s pyramid. 2040 taxpayers are mostly already born; TFR shows up around 2060.
