Shabbeer Ahmad

Abstract :

 An unemployed person is someone who does not have a job but is actively seeking work. In order to qualify as unemployed for official and statistical measurement, the individual must be without employment, willing and able to work, of the officially designated ‘working age‘ and actively searching for a position. Youth unemployment rates are historically double or more the adult rates in nearly every country in the world. Reasons for and rates of youth unemployment vary across national contexts. Since unemployment is defined as those out of work but actively seeking work, the youth that are out of work but not seeking work is not a part of the unemployment statistics. Youth in training, unpaid internships, or educational programs but not seeking paid work is not counted as unemployed, even though their presence in such programs may indicate a shortage of jobs for young people. Thus, the rate of youth unemployment is undercounted. In India, Jobs are shrinking at an alarming rate. Privatization and globalization have further aggravated the problem instead of generating employment; they have rendered millions of hands idle. The present paper is based upon the secondary data. Further, this paper also tries to focus on various aspects of youth unemployment.
