The Challenge of Youth Unemployment
- About 5 million graduates remain unemployed at any given time
- There is often a mismatch between the skills possessed by youth and the demands of the job market.
- The unemployment rate is over 40% for educated youth under 25 years of age
- In 2022, the estimated youth( 15 – 29yrs) unemployment rate in India was at 23.22%
- While 42.3% of graduates under 25 were unemployed in 2021-2022, the unemployment rate was at 21.4% for youth who completed higher secondary education.
- In 2022, the share of unemployed youths in the total unemployed population was 82.9%.
The Solution & Opportunity
With India marching towards the New Horizons, Youth of the country are its biggest strength. With over 66 % of India’s population below the age of 35, the young Indian requires opportunities for Jobs and Livelihood to participate in the holistic advancement of India and its growth.
With a very small section of Youth actualizing its real potential and having access to occupational opportunities and mobility, GroYouth has decided to connect India’s youth to different opportunities of employment in different parts of the country.
