Employment growth in india is faster than the growth in the working-age population, according to a World bank report. A new report released by the World bank on the employment situation in India: Since the last financial year 2021-22, employment growth in india has been very fast. This growth has been faster than the growth in the working-age population. In particular, women's entry into the workforce has continued to grow steadily. In the first quarter of the last financial year 2024-25, the unemployment rate in urban areas has come down to 6.6 percent. This is very low compared to the last year 2017-18. Since 2018-19, there has also been a big change in migration for work. In particular, men are moving to cities in search of work. Rural women are choosing agriculture and other fields.
At the same time, unemployment among youth is high at 13.3 percent. The number of youth waiting for jobs after completing higher education is 29 percent. On the other hand, choosing self-employment has increased. Rural workers and women in particular are showing interest in self-employment. Women's employment has increased to 31 percent. But gender discrimination continues. The number of men working is 23.4 crore more than women.
 The central government is implementing the Employment festival scheme to fill the vacancies in government jobs. Accordingly, the 15th installment of the program was held yesterday to issue work orders for 51,000 people for government jobs. In this, through 'video conference', prime minister Modi said: When the youth actively contribute to building the country, the country achieves rapid development and gains recognition on the global stage. Today, indian youth are proving to the world the immense potential we have through their dedication and innovative work. We are continuously taking necessary steps to provide more job opportunities and self-employment opportunities to our youth. He said this.
