Global Youth Employment Gap Poses Challenges for India and Developing Nations
A World Bank forecast warns that over the next decade, 1.2 billion young people in the Global South will enter the workforce, but only 400 million jobs are expected, creating a significant employment gap. India, with its large youth population, faces challenges in converting this demographic potential into economic growth due to stalled job creation and skill mismatches. Reports highlight that many graduates lack employable skills, leading to frustration and underemployment among youth, raising concerns about the future stability and prosperity of developing nations.
