For all those curious to know what a DEMOGRAPHIC BONUS is... Sri Lanka currently has a relatively small number of dependents to people of working age. This gives Sri Lanka the opportunity to reap the demographic bonus where the high proportion of productive population can drive economic development for the demographic bonus to happen. As population experts predict, this window of opportunity will remain open only up to 2025, when the number of older persons will begin to outnumber the young with the rapid ageing of the population. Now is the time to make the right investments in education, health care and job creation of young people.
