I am sure we will have a much better picture by 2047.
Question is how ? Are we producing more ? I agree behavioral things would change, but the competition for resources is going to be stiffer and unless we act on the root cause to reduce population, we can never close that gap.
Sir, our fertility rate has come down to 2.1 (births per woman) from 3.35 (birth per woman) in 2 decades which is a massive decline but it won't seem like it because you need a couple of decades to see it full effect.
2.1 is the replacement rate of population. That means the population is going to be stable in the near future and might start to decline if we have lower fertility rate. (takes a long time to notice, but a declining population is much much worse than growing population)
Large Population is not a bad thing unlike most people thinks...ask countries with the brink of population decline, they are going to be facing massive problems. We are at the sweet spot with large young population.
We need a massive infrastructure spending no doubt about it. But it can be done gradually until then we have to face some long queue and waiting lines.
We can close the gap!
(Sorry for jumping in the discussion, I wanted to put my point across, interesting discussion though)

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoIndia needs an overarching policy on population control. We should not also forget that at least 4% of the total population is illegal migrants.
Through policy measures Govt at best can discourage population explosion but can not effectively control it, because that control is ultimately vested in the people. So it eventually needs a bottom-up approach.
Europe welcomes illegal migrants, do u know why? Because Europe wants more "Units of Labour", that's not the case for India.
Moreover, India is such a country where 70% of the produce is consumed domestically. So it's a kind of self-serving economy, that is othrwise a boon during a pandemic like COVID-19.
Yes, but at a dismal pace. India has increased the production of foodgrains by 5.6 times, horticultural crops by 10.5 times, fish by 16.8 times, milk by 10.4 times and eggs by 52.9 times since 1950-51 to 2017-18.
