Abstract

India is experiencing a critical demographic transition with a significant youth bulge, presenting both opportunities and challenges for economic growth. Despite increased participation in higher education, issues of low enrolment and poor quality of education persist, particularly in higher education, technical and vocational training. The country faces high youth unemployment rates, with a predominance of self-employment and informal sector jobs offering low earnings and limited social security. Additionally, a substantial digital divide hinders the development of crucial ICT skills necessary for emerging and modern jobs. There is a pressing need for targeted policy interventions to improve education quality, skill training, and employment opportunities, ensuring an inclusive transition from school to work for the Indian youth.
