Rajasthan Report Highlights Youth Employment Trends and Government Job Plans
A recent report on Rajasthan's youth employment reveals a rise in labor force participation from 38% in 2017-18 to 51% in 2025, with nearly half engaged in agriculture, where earnings have declined. Unemployment among graduates is 33%, and unpaid family work is significant, especially among young women. The Rajasthan Handbook of Youth Opportunity highlights these trends and calls for policies to convert increased participation into better jobs and earnings. The state government aims to create four lakh government jobs to address youth employment challenges.
