The growing share of the youth population due to the generational 'dividend' or 'youth bulge' appears to be one of the sources of future economic growth for India. Although the proportion of youth in the labour force has decreased with the increase in enrolment rates for school and college, their high proportions in the labour force indicate that for many more years to come, the problem of youth unemployment and underemployment in India will remain a serious policy issue. In this context, this paper examines young people's jobs and unemployment status in India. It analyses developments in labour force and workforce participation rates, unemployment, unemployment, working poor, development and employment elasticity, etc. In addition, the paper includes policy proposals for increasing sustainable jobs and reducing youth unemployment. If measures are not taken to improve the educational achievement and skill development of the youth, the poor employability of the workforce would hamper the benefits due to demographic dividends.
