Sending India to work: Challenges and the Road Ahead

Sending India to work: Challenges and the Road Ahead

India has the world’s highest population in the young, employable bracket and sending it to work is the biggest challenge our government faces right now. Failure to do so would result in the biggest opportunity for India’s growth story turning into its biggest liability. Presently only 2.3% of the Indian workforce has undergone formal skill training, as compared to 68% in UK and 52% in the US. Most of India’s workforce is trained on-the-job and there is limited infrastructure, scope or resources for advanced skilling. The industry complains that labor trained at ITIs is not job-ready and courses in skilling centers need to be organized in better co-ordination with the industry.
