India's young are more educated than ever. So why are so many jobless?

A recent report highlights a paradox in India: despite having the world's largest youth population (367 million aged 15-29) and significant improvements in education, unemployment remains high. Enrollment in high school and colleges has surged, and more young people from poorer backgrounds are accessing higher education. This has led to a more educated generation entering the workforce, with many moving away from agriculture to manufacturing and services. However, the transition from education to employment is proving difficult, with nearly 40% of graduates aged 15-25 being jobless. The report indicates that the last half-decade has not generated enough salaried jobs to absorb the educated youth.
