Based on the NSSO data on employment and unemployment, the paper critically analyses the question of unemployment among the educated youth in India, with a focus on gender, social groups and regions. After briefly examining the educational development among the youth, the paper questions the persistence of comparatively higher incidence of unemployment among the educated youth. It finds both supply and demand factors responsible for such situation and questions the quality of education of youth, which is compromised at the cost of expansion in recent years. By using the logit model, the paper shows that despite growing mismatches between demand and supply of jobs, the likelihood of getting regular jobs improves with the improvement in educational attainments, but at a varying degree for youth belonging to various socio-religions groups. Lastly, the paper offers some useful suggestions to improve the employment opportunities for youth in India.

Young Indians face a lot of barriers due to poverty and lack of technical skills required to get into the right job. Though there are a lot of reforms in the education sector, gaining a stable position in the labor market is difficult. Most men in rural areas are now shifting to casual jobs rather than farming activities and women tend to be self-employed. This paper explores the trend in the unemployment rate from 2004 -2018.
