Abstract

Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra, a large highly industrialised, progressive state that until a decade ago, reported remarkable progress on social and economic indices. Today, it is still a leading state, but its social indices have deteriorated. This is evidence of its poor performance on creating equality of opportunity for vulnerable sections such as poor/lower middle class youth. We present a report of Mumbai incorporating the perceptions of youth obtained in a survey and discussions conducted in the city in 2009.
