Saurabh Mukherjea, Nandita Rajhansa and Sapana Bhavsar highlight 5 beliefs contradicted by India's economic data in their book 'Breakpoint: The Crisis of the Middle Class and the Future of Work'.
Azim Premji University’s State of Working India 2026 report expanded on the factors that will determine whether India’s demographic dividend translates into an economic dividend.
It is not capitalism which is responsible for the evils of permanent mass unemployment, but the policies of the stateman which paralyse its working, wrote BS Iyer in 1971.
Addressing corruption & unemployment is top expectation from Nepal’s new leader Sushila Karki. According to Nepal Labour Migration Report, unemployment rate is above 20% among youth.
With a youth unemployment rate of 15.3%, India wastes more young talent than entire countries possess. Yet paradoxically, industries desperately need workers.
Planning Commission couldn't tackle unemployment because new job opportunities in large-scale industries producing consumer goods were not created, wrote GN Lawande in 1963.
In a country where unemployment is at a historic high, the national anxiety isn’t about jobs — it’s about reach. Aspirations have shifted from employment to engagement, from careers to content.
From day one, Make in India was driven by optics than economics. There were global summits, slick visuals, and media blitzes. But the real machinery never showed up.
Since the region beyond NJ 9842 did not have any military presence and had not seen any action neither side contemplated that it would become a bone of contention in the future.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
