Abstract:
Since 2010, the Indian economy has seen its fair share of ups and downs. As the world takes notice of the countrys rise to global prominence, a matter of note has been its relatively young demographic. The hike in human resources as a new generation joins the workforce has been a notable factor, highlighted frequently in international media and backed by economic research. However, contention arises in the form of a somewhat restricted point of view when it comes to the role of women in the society. As we enter a transitional phase in development, this paper aims to understand how traditional roles for women are clashing with the demands of a growing industrial sector. The education sector has seen growing participation from women who have also performed statistically better than men. The research query, therefore deals with how this transfers on to their visibility or lack thereof in the workforce. Using methods of comparison, analysis and survey, the paper draws conclusions to make a tentative summarization of what the future holds for educated but unemployed women in India.

Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to understand the concept of public work in India. Nowadays we may approach a wide and broad understanding of public work on international level. One aspect is working for the government. Another one is associated with fighting unemployment and providing work possibility for the unemployed (by doing this decreasing poverty). It may also be understood as participated in governmental financed construction programmes and NREG is one such programme which helps to generate employment for the poor people in India. In this paper various aspects about public works in India are discussed.

Abstract:
Education is the mainstay of our country. It is an instrument for national human resource development. Listed among the world's fastest growing economies, India remains far behind in the queue when it comes to education. Low quality education is preventing India's development from meeting the demands of the 21st century economy. Quality education refers to such education which should discharge its objectives of construction. If we talk about modern era, it would be wrong to call education of any country as quality. The teachings of the present have failed to achieve their objectives. Quality education often includes the same education. Those who understand the interest and abilities of students in teaching and learning and fulfill the needs of the society and make the students eligible to earn a living. If we talk about India, you will get many such studies in India, which are unemployed even after getting education. On an average, educated people are unemployed and it is a shame for our education system. Quality education is the demand of modern society and the demand for quality is everywhere irrespective of the field.

Abstract:
The human civilization has witnessed several numbers of pandemic from time to time since time immemorial such as the Plague, Cholera, Influenza, Chicken pox Malaria, Typhus, and HIV/AIDS etc. This Pandemic has created a serious threat to the existence of human civilization and also badly affected globally in the socio-economic conditions and industrial development. The Corona Virus Disease 2019, shortly Covid !9 is a recently developed global pandemic which was first identified in Wuhan city of China in the month of December 2019 and on 11th march 2020 it was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The all most all of the countries of the world were severely affected from this pandemic, specially, in the industrial and health sectors, where lakhs of people lost their lives. India is also not exceptional in this regard. As a developing country thousands of educated unemployed youth rush to other developed countries specially the Middle East countries for searching of jobs. But due to covid-19 pandemic most of the youth return back to their home land India. It has been observed that due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the economic situation of India has been badly affected because most of the Large and MSMEs were closed down as a result lakhs of youths became unemployed. The entire economic condition of the North Easter state of India including Assam were also badly affected in this pandemic because the region is industrially very poor as compared to the other states of the country, therefore, thousands of unemployed youth go to other states like Tamilnadu, Kerela, Karnatak, Maharastra, Delhi, Hariyana etc. in search of jobs. Due to this pandemic these youths returned to their own state due to shutdown of their industries, which affected in economy. Therefore, this study is an attempt to highlight the major impacts of the Covid-19 on economic and industrial sectors of Assam.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the choice of employment sector for women is driven by the structure of the labour market or determined by the household socioeconomic condition. Design/methodology/approach Data for the study were drawn from the National Sample Survey 68th round (2011–2012). The sector of employment was assessed through females’ participation as an unpaid labour, employer/own account worker, informal wage worker, formal wage worker and unemployed. A multinomial logit model was used to examine the factors that determine the sector of employment. Findings Although education increases formal employment among women, most of them are unemployed or entering into informal employment. It indicates that the labour market has not been able to integrate educated women into formal employment. Research limitations/implications Increase in female education accompanied by a slow growth of employment creates the challenge to accommodate the educated and skilled women in formal employment. Originality/value This study examines the factors determining the sectoral participation of employment to assess the responses of the current labour market for the females, especially educated females who have not been adequately addressed. The findings of the study have significant implications for formulating appropriate labour market policies for the educated female labour force.

Abstract:
The literature on services offshoring typically focuses on the extent of job losses in the home country. The impact on recipient countries is rarely examined in the western debate on offshore outsourcing. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of offshoring in information technology (IT) and IT-enabled services (ITES), including business process outsourcing (BPO), on employment creation and technology diffusion/innovation gap in India. The paper concludes that being a service industry, the IT/ITES sector cannot be expected to solve India's massive unemployment problem. India needs to build labor-intensive, manufactured products, not just services, in order to create jobs for millions of educated but unemployed young Indians. Concerning technology diffusion/innovation gap, in spite of impressive progress achieved by Indian service providers, they continue to lag behind in high-end areas that call for creativity and innovation such as inventing innovative business products, and creating new global markets for such products.

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to analyze time allocation by gender in ‘employment and related’, ‘unpaid domestic’, and ‘unpaid caregiving’ activities for the individuals representing work in public and private spheres in India. Employing Indian Time-use data 2019, this study examines time distribution of Indian men and women in these activities. Furthermore, the variation in intensity of time allocation due to socio-economic and demographic factors of individuals has been assessed using ordinary least square regression. The study reveals important gender inequalities prevail in the time spent for all the three-activity categories. Indian men devote considerable time in ‘employment and related’ activities whereas Indian women spend more time in the other two activities. The time spent in ‘unpaid domestic’ activities by Indian women is more for those who are less educated, socially marginalized, unemployed, and belong to poorer households whereas ‘unpaid caregiving’ activities are more intensive for women who are highly educated, socially marginalized, not in the labour force and have more children at home. Originality/value : the present study contributes to understanding the disproportionate burden of ‘employment and related’, ‘unpaid domestic’ and ‘unpaid caregiving’ activities and the intersectional dynamics that play a significant role in the allocation of time use across the gender lines using the latest data available in India.

Abstract:
Governments and local communities globally have recognized that key to building prosperity and stimulating regional growth is fostering entrepreneurship - mainly youth entrepreneurship. India is no exception, with so many educated yet unemployed youth; continuous policies are being drawn and attempts made for promoting youth entrepreneurship. Unemployment for educated youth has become particularly acute since the education explosion in early 2000's. Though the promotion of entrepreneurship as a possible source of job creation, empowerment and resources dynamism has attracted increasing policy and scholarly attention, yet there is no systematic attempt to look at it from a youth angle. This has resulted in lack of an adequate understanding of the potential benefits of youth entrepreneurship (YE). Through grounded research and in-depth analysis, the aim of this chapter is to stimulate policy debate, portray the outlook and understand the obstacle for youth entrepreneurship in India. Attempt is also made to suggest strategies that can be initiated for enhancing youth entrepreneurship.

Abstract:
Abstract The task of ensuring employment for the labour force has been a persistent concern throughout India’s post-independence development. Demographic trends contribute to the difficulty of the task. Between 1971 and 2001 the 15–59 working-age population grew faster than the population as a whole, and comprised 602 million people in 2001, more than double its size in 1971. Whereas the growth rate of the total population has already started to slow, the working–age population will reach its peak growth rate only during 2001–6. It will continue to grow faster than total population to 2026, when it will be about 1.5 times as large as in 2001, comprising 925 million people. At the same time, despite economic growth and optimism from pro-reform analysts about the employment implications of liberalization, the economy’s ability to provide employment during the 1990s has in many ways proved disappointing. According to the NSS, the number of people counted as unemployed on the ‘current daily status’ (CDS) basis increased from 20 million in 1993–4 to nearly 27 million in 1999–2000. In addition, there is evidence that the quality of available work has deteriorated.

Abstract:
India's population (1.42 billion) surpassed the population of mainland China in April 2023, and it is certain to continue to grow for several decades. India's current job creation rate is not enough as the country adds 15 million fresh graduates every year to its labor force. Mass entrepreneurship can only create employment opportunities for unemployed youth, increase per capita income, a higher standard of living, revenue to the government in the form of taxes, and balanced regional development. Mass entrepreneurship entrepreneurial ecosystem integrating entrepreneurs, the government, private sector companies, venture capitalists, non-government organizations, such as entrepreneurs' associations, business incubators, and academia working in collaborative mode can unshackle the untapped spirit of mass entrepreneurship that will shape the future of India.

Abstract:
Rural development implies both the economic betterment of the people living in rural areas as well as bringing out holistic development. Accordingly, government has made paradigm shift from individual-centric rural development support to creation of gainful self-employment as well as wage employment among rural masses. Entrepreneurship, in this direction, has become an important consideration. Economic growth of a region largely depends on the involvement of poor and marginal sections into the process of entrepreneurship development. Globally, a large number of unemployed youth and women are becoming self-employed through entrepreneurship and creating employment opportunities for others. Researchers have worked on women's empowerment, economic development, and their role on micro-credit movement. The work on role of women in sustainable development is very limited. This chapter has tried to analyse issues related to women entrepreneurships in light of sustainable rural development in India to meet the research gap in the current context of Indian rural economy.

Abstract:
The Open and Distance Learning system has been able to make a positive impact in the conflict-ridden communities of Kashmir valley in India. This part of the India has long been under the influence of armed militancy which drastically affected the access to higher education. The Open and Distance Learning systems started operating in this area with a modest beginning made by Directorate of Correspondence Courses but had a limited impact. IGNOU which is the largest provider of ODL Programmes in India started developing its network in Kashmir valley in 1999 with its unique approach based on collaboration and sharing of resources. The target groups dominantly composed of unemployed youth, school drop outs, working population, rural folks, women etc has traditionally been deprived of Higher education. This chapter describes the approach of IGNOU and its impact in such conflict-ridden societies which is worth replicating in similar socioeconomic setups across the developing world.

In global India, the people in all layers suffer from Western Bound Cultural Syndrome and they usually imitate a highly consumerised life with changing life style and life choices. The entertainment and enjoyment are the prime issue regardless of social, economical, educational and cultural status. The advertisement and entertainment industries are being used to market sensitization as well as promotion of consumerism.. Here, there are two tools/weapon, limerence, an emotional state of being in love and neuro-marketing system are being used deliberately to promoting the market. To explore the implication of limerence and neuro-marketing system in business in service sector, and its impact, a study was conducted on 200 population of both rural and urban area of West Bengal, India. Data was collected through structured interview schedule to know effect consumerism in their daily survival with their happiness and unhappiness. It was revealed that people were submerged by want created, identity and status consumption. Their consumption was not need based. Even 28.5% of them who were students or unemployed or no earning were habituated to consume a handsome and they were managing it forcefully from their parents. The status of consumption was increasing according to income level. Marketing strategies through limerence and neuro-marketing would be redefined for a safe and healthy society.

Abstract:
Financial crises have significant short-term and long-term social costs. As a result, economic and social indicators have dwindled significantly since 2007. The soar in the unemployment rate has been most marked in so called advanced economies, reaching alarming levels in the tangential Europe with more than half of the young labour force unemployed in Greece and Spain. What is more, the crises, one global and another Euro zone financial crisis, have inexplicably hurt the poor. The progress in poverty alleviation has been not smooth across regions, and the pace has slowed since 2007 across the board. The crisis has also created challenges to the achievement of other development targets, including reduction of the occurrence of malnutrition and mortality rates, and civilizing gender equality in education and access to hygienic water and sanitation. This also suggests a significant loss or a reversal of the progress in development. In the above background, this paper presents evidence on the extent to which the global financial crisis and other crises since 2007 has been associated with deteriorating economic and social well-being indicators with a special focus on India. The results clearly indicate that poverty levels have been falling before the pre-crisis period but the post-crisis period witnessed a jump in the poverty rates across India.

Full text
Abstract:
India has a paradox of skilling where an acute shortage of skilled workforce, as well as high levels of unemployment, exists together. To address this and to ensure that India reaps the benefits of demographic dividend, it is critical to skill its youth population. Affordability and accessibility of avenues for skilling is still a challenge for uneducated and unqualified youth. They also require platforms for skilling that facilitate learning at their own pace and time, local language instruction, usage of multimedia formats to retain attention and minimal entry-level requirements. // In addition to the unemployed youth, India’s artisans and rural entrepreneurs would also benefit from the skilling on digital literacy, financial literacy, digital financial literacy, citizen services and data management. As per a baseline study undertaken by Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF) and Commonwealth of Learning (COL), even when the artisans, weavers and rural entrepreneurs possess smartphones and access the internet, using smartphones to acquire new skills and conduct business is minimal. The majority of the respondents expressed interest in training in online commerce, social media marketing and online data management. It is in this context that Skill Bot becomes relevant. // Skillbot is a self-learning chatbot built on the Telegram platform. Telegram is a free, open-source and accessible messaging service. Unlike WhatsApp, which offers paid chatbot features, Telegram chatbots are completely free as well making them accessible to organizations. // Skillbot was developed by DEF and Commonwealth of Learning to teach digital literacy, financial literacy, citizen services and data management. Skillbot is multilingual and employs tutorial lessons, audio graphics, infographics, flashcards, interactive quizzes and activities for teaching. Since both Telegram and Skill Bot is free, easy to use and accessible, this provides a platform for those without access to formal avenues of learning to acquire the skillsets. Using the Skillbot requires basic digital literacy only. Additionally, since it is interactive with continuous assessment, learners can proceed at their own pace. So far, 2400 users have been accessing it. // From an organizational point of view also, Skillbot is a valuable tool. Covid-19 pandemic has restricted the ability of organizations to reach out to learners. Skillbot provides the opportunity to deliver content to a large demographic at a minimal cost. Organizations find it costly to build, manage, promote and maintain mobile applications or web-based learning management systems. Telegram also provides back end technical support, further reducing cost and labor.

Abstract:
Urban Employment Programmes have been emerging as a response to the crisis of employment faced in Indian urban areas. The quantity of jobs being generated has been inadequate, as the following statistics indicate.
