Where does India rank on the global stage?

With a GDP of over $3.94 trillion in 2024, India is the world’s fifth-largest economy, powered by a skilled workforce. But the International Labour Organization (ILO) highlights that India’s employment-to-population ratio is just 52.8%, coupled with a labour dependency ratio of 1.52, pointing to a gap between its economic potential and the current state of its employment market.
