Abstract: Unemployment among young people in India is a significant socio-economic problem with wide-ranging implications. This study investigates the various factors, such as educational mismatches, economic transformations, and demographic pressures, that contribute to the high levels of unemployment among young people in India. Youth unemployment has significant ramifications, affecting the overall welfare of individuals, the stability of the economy, and the cohesion of society. The severe consequences include heightened dependency ratios, mental health disorders, and the possibility of social upheaval. The paper also examines other policy measures taken to alleviate teenage unemployment, including skill enhancement programmes, incentives for entrepreneurship, and active labour market regulations. The study seeks to analyse these interventions in order to uncover efficacious tactics and optimal approaches to tackle youth unemployment in India. It attempts to provide recommendations to policymakers for promoting a labour market that is more inclusive and dynamic.
