Why are people considered a resource?
People are considered a resource because their skills, knowledge and abilities convert natural resources into valuable products and services. As the ultimate resource, healthy, educated and motivated people can generate other resources as per their requirements. Their differing characteristics, such as their educational levels, age, and sex, mean human resources are not evenly distributed across the globe. However, through programs like the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna, which aims to train individuals and improve employable skills, the value of human resources can continue to grow and develop. Consequently, people are the most significant resource of a nation.

Given their rapid technological advancements, how are countries like Japan and South Korea managing the implications of their ageing population, and what lessons can other quickly developing nations, particularly those with highly youthful populations like India, take from their experiences?
