How long quality of life expresses the undeveloped nature of the Indian economy?
India has greatly improved in terms of the quality of life. It has one of the largest economies that contributes to the Global system. The growth has been slow yet noticeable. The agriculture today accounts for 16% of the total value added as compared to 52% in 1951. According to the Global competitiveness report of 2015 - 16 India is at the 55th rank out of 140 economies. Despite this, a large section of the people is still unable to get out of poverty.
1. The educational system is lagging behind. The enrollment level is extremely low at all the levels. Only 1.4% Of secondary students are enrolled in technical and vocational programs. The average educational level is only 7.3 years. Most of the students are male who benefit by gaining 2 years more of education as compared to the girls. Out of all the 37th lower-middle-income countries, India is at 31 in terms of providing equal educational opportunities for men and women.
2. Another area where India lags behind is the transport infrastructure. The airline sector is a major weakness of India's transport system. Most of the cities do not have operational airports. They are situated in the outer areas where the roads are not proper. This accounts for a high number of accidents in the country. Among all of the transport systems available, railways perform the best; With 65000 km of rail, it is the fourth largest railway system in the world.
3. The health system also has limited coverage. Due to the increase in the expenses, most of the people are unable to gain access to the good health system.
