A wide base means many young people, a bulging middle means many working adults—India is said to be in that hopeful 'bulging middle' stage now. But I tell you, that wide base from my time was not just a graph shape; it was too many mouths to feed with one clerk's salary. When I see that pyramid, I remember the strain in my wife's eyes, not demographic dividends. My regret gives me different eyes: a shrinking base is a relief, not a worry.
