Report Highlights Youth Employment Challenges and Regional Disparities in Karnataka

Domestic and childcare responsibilities keep about 90% of non-working women out of the workforce. The report highlights disparities in opportunities across districts, with Bengaluru Urban scoring highest and northern districts like Yadgir lagging. Youth migration to Bengaluru strains city infrastructure, prompting calls for broader opportunity distribution across the state.
