India's Job Market in Charts
The Times of India carried a data story titled "The Job Report" on 20-07-2024 by Atul Thakur & Richa Gandhi who also contribute to the paper's data analysis articles & its Data Dive section. It has good insights on India's employment landscape supplemented with charts -
Bar chart from the report shows that a majority of employed Indians are self-employed (57.3%) followed by regular salary (20.9%) and casual labor (21.8%) |
The choropleth maps of India graphically show the unemployment data for youth unemployment and overall unemployment. |
Some other interesting facts -
• India has the world's largest young population - there were 4.3 crore students enrolled in higher education institutions alone.
• India is emerging as a global employment exchange. Falling and aging population in most developed countries has created a shortage of executives and workers across industries and hierarchies
• India is emerging as the largest exporter of human talent. But the global demand currently doesn't match the supply in India.
