India has one of the largest concentrations of young people in the world between ages 15 to 34 (“Reading between the numbers”, July 11). This will be a challenge for any administration in providing them resources, education, health, nutrition and, importantly, gainful employment. A fresh national approach of encouraging small families should be our priority. With Aadhaar now covering a large section of our citizens, the government should be bold enough to extend benefits to all those who follow the two-child norm. Benefits such as rations, gas, state medical benefits, education and preferential housing should be extended to small families.
