Abstract

This chapter investigates the dynamics of shift in youth labour market in India in the neoliberal era. For this, a thorough analysis of youth labour force participation and workforce participation over gender and sector has been done. Further, the chapter provides a comprehensive analytical picture of the push and pull role of specific demographic and socio-economic characteristics in defining the transition of youth in Indian labour market. The chapter findings highlight that youth transition in Indian labour market has shown paradoxical epitomes—indicated by the drastic decline in their labour force and workforce across the gender and sector—with a much steeper decline for the female youth. No doubt, the decline in youth labour force participation rate is a corollary to increased youth enrolment in education. However, the inclusion of educated youth in the labour market poses a challenge for the Indian economy—demonstrated through the lower employment among graduate and above youth.
