Impact of Middle Class on Indian Economy

Middle class growth has been a major driver of India's economic growth. As the literacy rate increased from 20% to 75% between independence and 2010, it created a large middle class population, estimated at around 80% of India's total population. This growing middle class has found stable employment, reducing unemployment and poverty. The middle class has contributed to development across all sectors of the Indian economy - primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary. It is estimated that if India can continue to match China's achievements in education, its large and growing middle class will be able to power domestic consumer-led growth and compete globally.
