How India Can Fix Its Employment Crisis: Bhaskar Chakravorti
Harvard Business Review
Despite a roaring economy, India is in the middle of an employment crisis: In a country with the world’s largest and youngest workforce, there are very few good jobs to be had. To maintain its economic momentum through consistently high GDP growth, India needs to produce more jobs and move a greater proportion of its workforce into higher productivity sectors. Failure to do so would result not only in depressed incomes and slowdown in consumer demand,
it would also add to future political instability, social unrest, and a waste of the country’s much-vaunted
“demographic dividend.”
