As the workforces of the U.S., U.K., and similar wealthy Western
nations age, other countries with younger populations grow at a
clip. Nowhere is this more true than India, where the median age
is 29 (a decade younger than the U.S.) and GDP is growing at
nearly 8% annually. As part of our ongoing “Age of Work” series,
“Marketplace” host Kai Ryssdal and ADP Chief Economist Nela
Richardson visited Mumbai to understand a workforce and economy
that is very different from our own. In this episode, they visit
a bustling bazaar where young jewelers are inheriting family
businesses.
