Currently India is considered a LDC. India still has a lot of problems that have not been solved and may not be able to be fixed. The majority of the extremely large population is in poverty. Also still a lot of Indians have a primary job such as farming. India also has a lot of social problems, many Indians discriminate according to one's caste still even though the caste system is no longer in place by the government. Also women are not equal to men and the majority of woman's roles still only pertain to the family not a career. India is trying to overcome their many problems, beginning with improving their literacy rate, striving for a 100%. India's education problem has improved including many years of schooling and making it more accessible to those living in rural areas. Also India is creating more secondary and more importantly more tertiary jobs to help improve living standards and the economy. Secondly India is becoming one of the most important software and electronic centers of the world, which furthermore provide more jobs and economic growth.

India in 50 years from now, i believe will have or be close to having the greatest population in the world. Also i think the economy will have improved greatly because of outsourcing, and the improving education system. Additionally i believe that India will be able to do more and have more funding to improve their water pollution issues with a better economy. Women equality most likely will become more accepted and women may be able to pursue a career and not be limited to home. And with more education and equality among women, i believe that population will be more reasonable and the natural increase rate will become closer to that of a MDC. I believe India in 50 more years will become a more influential and developed country than it is currently, considering that it is already on its path to success.
