India will play a crucial role in global workforce expansion, accounting for 20% of worldwide growth between 2023 and 2050, according to an Angel One Wealth report. In stark contrast, China is projected to experience a workforce decline during the same period.

The report underscored India’s impressive strides in income levels, forecasting a significant rise in high-income households by 2030. “By 2030, high-income households are expected to triple, while middle-income households will nearly double, making India the fastest-growing nation in terms of per capita income,” it noted. Additionally, low-income households are expected to fall dramatically from 43% in 2018 to just 15% by 2030, signalling a notable shift in the country’s economic landscape.

India’s household debt, as a percentage of GDP, remains substantially lower than that of its Asian peers, highlighting robust income growth and overall financial health. The report emphasized the country’s strong household balance sheets as a foundation for continued economic progress.

Another strategic advantage for India is its young demographic. With an average age of 29 years, India boasts one of the world’s lowest dependency ratios, meaning fewer dependents per working individual. This contrasts sharply with regions like China and Europe, where dependency ratios are climbing, presenting economic hurdles.

The report further delved into the impact of rising incomes on consumer behaviour. India’s household growth is outpacing population growth, accelerating discretionary spending compared to non-discretionary expenditures. This shift towards higher-value consumption reflects the increasing wealth and evolving preferences of Indian households.

On tax contributions, personal income tax collections in India have consistently surpassed corporate tax collections since FY21, underscoring the growing economic impact of individual taxpayers.

In summary, the report portrayed India as an emerging global economic force, powered by rapid income growth, low debt levels, and a dynamic young workforce, set to influence both domestic and international markets for decades to come.
