Abstract

Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) status of youth has become a worldwide threat to the inclusion of youth in production activities (education and employment). Henceforth, this chapter investigates the surmounting challenge of NEET youth in the Indian context. The chapter presents a conceptual framework addressing the interplay of demographic and socio-economic characteristics in defining the NEET/Non-NEET status of youth in the Indian context. The chapter finds gender disparity in the functioning of youth labour market in India and identifies that female youth represents 33% higher chances of being a NEET in the year 2018/19. The chapter suggests that it is crucial to create full decent employment for the youth to actively engage them in the mainstream of inclusive and sustained economic development. Indeed, capitalizing on youth—the potential human capital-through proactive measures to ensure the reintegration of NEET youth will contribute to India's economic growth.
