Journal of Development Policy and Practice, 2025, vol. 10, issue 3, 370-386

Abstract: Skill-based training leading to youth employment has been accepted as an important means for addressing youth unemployment. The skill-based policies of the last one and half decades have emphasised the same. Logistics sector is a growing sector with the potential to create employment. This study delves into the current employment patterns in the logistics sector in Hyderabad, the potential for future employment, the state of the training ecosystem available for promoting youth employment and the youth aspirations for employment in the logistics sector. The study indicates that while there remains potential for youth employment in the logistics sector, there is low awareness as well as aspiration to join the logistics workforce. The tendency to associate low social prestige with the logistics sector remains a factor.
