India’s economy may be growing at 7–8%, but India is facing a serious jobs crisis. The biggest challenge today is not just skilling youth, but actually creating quality jobs. Recent PLFS 2025 survey shows that India’s youth unemployment rate is still hovering between 15–17%. This means that while GDP is rising, jobless growth is becoming a reality.
In this video, we break down why India urgently needs a National Jobs Mission instead of only focusing on Skill India initiatives. Skilling is important, but without employment opportunities, India risks turning its demographic dividend into a demographic disaster.
👉 What this video covers:
India’s youth unemployment crisis explained (PLFS 2025 data)
Why GDP growth ≠ job creation (jobless growth in India)
Problem of underemployment and gig economy jobs
Why most jobs are informal, low-paid, and contract-based
Migration, rural distress, and frustration among India’s youth
The need for a National Jobs Mission: focus on rural infrastructure, MSMEs, labour-intensive sectors like textiles & food processing, and new AI-based opportunities
Policy reforms and government interventions needed to create sustainable jobs
📌 Why is this important for India?
India has the world’s largest youth population, but if jobs are not created, this demographic dividend could turn into a demographic nightmare. Skilling without job creation only produces “skilled but unemployed” youth. Experts suggest that India must prioritize employment generation, industrial policy, MSME support, and regulatory reforms if it wants to become a true economic powerhouse.
This issue is not just about economics, but also about social stability, political trust, and India’s long-term growth story. Rising unemployment leads to frustration, migration, mental health issues, and even suicides in rural areas.
