Abstract:
Globalization is an ultra modern term which is spreading its aura in every corner of the world, so it takes India also in consideration. For a country to become developed and achieve higher standards of success, it is of great significance. This widespread of the spirit of globalization is also affecting the style of working, which ultimately affects the health of the country. Since most of the working population of the country is youth, it is indirectly affecting the future of the country. Awareness about such consequences can lead to their prevention and it is a well known fact that “Prevention is always better than cure”.
India is sitting on the cradle of progress. With massive change in economic policy of Liberalisation,
Privatization and Globalization in 1991, India has moved on the path towards modernisation and great technical and professional advancements.

    Merriam-Webster (2013) defines globalization as “the development of an increasingly integrated global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets” (n.p.). Globalization did not start with just the economy. The ideas of globalization can be traced essentially back to the origins of man when they began to move from equatorial Africa. Next were the Europeans trading for silk and spices with the Far East, eventually leading to the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus traveling to the West in an effort to find a shorter route to their foreign trade partners. Modern day globalization began to come about after World War II. This was mainly due to countries such as Sri Lanka, India, and some in South America gaining independence and establishing their own trade relations with the rest of the world as they now had their own economy. With increased global economies, came the United Nations (UN) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) which was established to aid in settling commercial and trade disputes. So while seen as something relatively modern in our age, globalization can be traced to the beginning of time and has continued to evolve over the centuries (Larchi,…

Most people are usually ignorant of its reach and impact yet it touches all aspects of the economy because it involves the processes that incorporate people in the world into one big society.

    It is believed that around the world, including developed and developing countries, the tendency of the continuous increase of a share of elderly people is observed. It contains two reasons: first, the quality of medical care may improve. Therefore, average life expectancy of people can increase. Second, practically all around the world, especially in European countries, the reduction of the birth rate is observed, so the death rate exceeds the birth rate.

    A country's power lies in the hand of citizens and India's growing population can mark India's rising power. Technology, innovation, entrepreneurial skills, savvy India’s got in tonnes but these skills itself is not going to take us to the front ranks of the world. The front ranks of the world will happen when billion plus population is empowered. China and India are the two fastest economies of the world and no one is to deny the fact that China is so far ahead right now that India’s momentum could easily get snuffed out. Looking at the history and forecasts made for India’s demography, one can say that India’s demography put her on the driver’s seat. Looking at the current scenario, half of the country’s population is younger than twenty-five. By 2020 the average age of the Indians will be 29 years compared to 37 years for China and 48 years for Japan.

    Globalization has been underway since the dawn of history. “It is now characterized by shrinking space and time and by vanishing borders. Globalizing processes are dismantling obstacles to movement. As a result, there has been an increasing flow of people, goods, services, ideas, technologies and information across international borders. In simple terms, globalization is defined as a ‘process that widens the extent and form of cross-border transactions among peoples, assets, goods and services and that deepens the economic interdependence between and among globalizing entities, which may be private or public institutions or governments” (Lubbers 2000). Globalization is a basically connecting different country together as a global village.…
