extreme poverty declined from ~29%(2011) to ~6%(2021)  \nThe imperative of job creation  \nIndia will need an estimated 145–330 million new jobs by 2050; nearly 77% of nonfarm jobs remain informal; female labor force participation has risen, but paid employment remains limited  \nChallenges to reduce inequality  \nDisparities persist across regions and social groups, especially in rural and marginalized communities  \nAREAS OF PROGRESS  \nDigital Public Infrastructure  \nWorld’s largest biometric ID system enabling trillions of transactions annually for welfare services; ~90% Indians have bank accounts, higher than global average (79% in 2024)  \nBasic services  \n100% districts open defecation free; universal household electrification  \nRenewable Energy  \nWorld’s 4th largest RE market with RE accounting for 75% of added domestic generation  \nInfrastructure expansion  \nBetween 2018 and 2024, India delivered massive physical infrastructure growth—from roads and expressways, to electrified rail lines, metro systems, major bridges and airports  \nPIVOTING TO A MORE RESOURCE EFFICIENT GROWTH PATH  \nReducing water stress  \nImproved water storage and wastewater treatment can help increase per capita availability of water  \nEnhancing livability of cities  \nInvestments of about $55 billion/year are needed to improve access to piped water, adequate drainage, housing, and public transport; strengthening ULB capacity to mobilize finance and attract private investment is critical to addressing these constraints  \nAddressing air quality challenges  \nAir pollution is especially pronounced in urban areas; requires airshed level management that targets reduction in emissions from priority sectors such as energy, transport, agriculture and industry  \nPIVOTING TO A MORE RESOURCE EFFICIENT GROWTH PATH  \nEnhancing resilience to climate risks India needs to safeguard its rising investments in infrastructure to increased climate risks/events  \nProtecting and leveraging natural capital Coastal, marine, and forest ecosystems, if sustainably managed, can support livelihoods and growth  \nInvesting in agri-value chains and digital platforms  \nPrivate investment in agri-value chains, warehousing, and digital platforms can help farmers enhance their income and adapt to climate change  \nSupporting energy transition  \nIndia’s impressive record in generating renewable energy, universal household electrification and reduced tariffs, needs tobe supported with DISCOM reforms to attract private financing  \nACCELERATING INCLUSION  \nEnhancing employability  \nInvestments in foundational learning, learning outcomesand market relevant skills that account for technological advances and digitalization--are critical to prepare a job-ready workforce  \nImproving healthcare  \nChallenges like undernutrition, rising incidence of NCDs, and gaps in coverage of health services need to be prioritized to enhance labor productivity  \nStrengthening safety nets  \nIndia needs a consolidated, shock-responsive, welltargeted social protection system that covers informal workers; it also needs investments in the care economy to cater to an increasingly ageing population  \nACCELERATING INCLUSION  \nSupporting MSMEs  \nMSMEs employ more than half of I","cbCaicFb2yZ28SsA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicFb2yZ28SsA","pdf",5896524,1,11,"English","en",105,"# Overview of SCD India Update 2024\n## Assesses progress on 2018 SCD priorities\n## Reframes priorities and provides a roadmap\n# Recent trends\n## Robust growth and poverty reduction\n## The imperative of job creation\n## Challenges to reduce inequality\n# Areas of progress\n## Digital public infrastructure\n## Basic services\n## Renewable energy\n## Infrastructure expansion\n# Pivoting to a more resource efficient growth path\n## Reducing water stress\n## Enhancing livability of cities\n## Addressing air quality challenges\n## Enhancing resilience to climate risks\n## Protecting and leveraging natural capital\n## Investing in agri-value chains and digital platforms\n## Supporting energy transition\n# Accelerating inclusion\n## Enhancing employability\n## Improving healthcare\n## Strengthening safety nets\n## Supporting MSMEs\n## Improving regulatory environment\n## Facilitating domestic labor mobility\n# Strengthening public sector\n## Enhancing digital inclusion\n## Strengthening institutions\n## Strengthening competencies\n## Strengthening state level fiscal management\n## Enhancing capacity of ULBs/local governments\n## Derisking private investment in infrastructure","[{\"question\":\"What priorities does SCD India Update 2024 review and reframe?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses progress on 2018 SCD priorities: shifting to a more resource-efficient growth path, accelerating inclusion through jobs and human capital, and strengthening the public sector.
