Kerala’s unemployment rate is 9%, which is more than three times higher than the national average of 2.7%. As per the live register of the employment exchange in Kerala the number of unemployed people stood at 39.78 lakhs in 2012.The problem of unemployment is acute among women. The total number of unemployed women in Kerala stood at 23.86 lakhs in 2012, making them 60% of the total unemployed persons in Kerala. The majority of unemployed women in the state are educated.
