Abstract

The post-liberalization era in India has illustrated two significant characteristics of Indian youth labour market. First, it signifies ‘Demographic Dividend’, youth representing the highest share in total as well as the working-age population and is expected to continue till the year 2040 (Mehrotra et al., 2013), and, second, accelerated economic growth of Indian economy has resulted in the expansion of higher education (Thomas, 2015). As a result, the younger population reflects a bifold perspective of Indian economy. On one side, it represents potential human capital, whereas, on the other side, it marks a momentous challenge for the economy to create and provide ample and equitable opportunities for growth and development—employment and education being a few of them.
