Unemployment has long been one of the most pressing economic challenges in India. As a nation with the world’s largest youth population, India’s workforce potential is immense. However, a consistent mismatch between the available labor and employment opportunities continues to undermine this potential. Despite rapid economic development and technological advancement, unemployment remains stubbornly high, affecting millions of Indians and stalling the country’s aspirations for inclusive growth.

In India, it is not just the number of unemployed that is concerning, but also the nature of that unemployment — underemployment, disguised unemployment, and structural unemployment are widespread.
