    To harness the demographic dividend, policy attention needs to be immediately focused on which of the following areas?

    A)  Agricultural development

    B)  Strengthening macroeconomic stability

    C)  Strengthening of Infrastructure (both social and physical)

    D)  Non-agrarian sector employment

    Correct Answer: D
