Home in the Extraterrestrial world.

 Home in the Extraterrestrial world.

Our recent space explorations had mixed experiences. While Jupiter's Icy Moons Explorer was  successful, the Starship Super Heavy rocket for Mars exploration failed to make it into Earth orbit. Both these projects aim to explore extraterrestrial life. Though, Mars has always been the first choice after Earth, it is associated with many challenges. The astronauts are vulnerable to diseases and cosmic radiation. In addition, the weather is cold and dry and the water is salty and unfit for habitation. Though Elon Musk has come up with the idea of terraforming for the artificial heating of Mars, it has to be implemented yet. At this point, exploring other options, like Jupiter's moons, is a good move. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system. It is the only moon with a magnetic field and might have water. Other moons of Jupiter like Europa and Callisto may also have water and might support life. Hence, changing our moves and exploring other options in the alien world might help in our exploration of a second habitation to humankind.

Two reasons for the growing population are poor education and health sectors. The birth rate is highest amongst the illiterate people and the death rate is least among the literates. In this context, the education and health sectors ...

Impediments of India’s Demographic Dividend

  Impediments of India’s Demographic Dividend The recent Brookings report focused on the issue of industrial concentration. The other side of the coin has problems like poor child education, a high skill gap amongst youth, and weakened female labor force participation which were ignored. But these issues prevent India from embracing the China-Plus-One strategy. The formal sector has less skilled labor and the upgradation of skills is immensely needed. Moreover, low-skilled labor is retained in the agriculture sector due to poor education. The covid pandemic also harmed female labor participation. One solution is to transform the agriculture sector into high earning sector. This can be done by allowing foreign players and lowering the entry rate of labor. In addition, the education gap which was induced during covid can be tackled by organizing summer boot camps. Thirdly, to ensure the participation and retention of women's workforce, companies can fund NGOs that support girl educat...
