Abstract: Industries across the globe are reporting a lack of skills among fresh graduates. When educated degree holders do not qualify for job opportunities, educated unemployment occurs. This study draws on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methods to identify and rank factors contributing to the role of educational institutions in driving educated unemployment. The findings indicate a misfit in the implementation and execution of academic programs by educational institutions, thus uncovering a need for a strategic blueprint. Future studies can be replicated in other educational domains.

Keywords: entrepreneurs; educational institutions; entrepreneurial intentions; educated unemployment; technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution; TOPSIS; analytic hierarchy process; AHP; India. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
