Abstract

It is reported that in India, the youth population of 18 to 30 yearsrepresents 48.1% of the total population of the country. Also it is foundthat among all the youth, 51.3% are economically active while theremaining 49.4% are economically inactive i.e. are outside the labormarket, and almost a quarter (24.2%) of the youth population is neitherstudying nor working. In addition, opportunities for young people toaccess suitable work are inadequate because of their education, lackof skill, divergent career and by the disparity between the trainingoffered and the experience required by the current labour market ofthe country. Youth from marginalized sections are facing numerous issues and problems for social inclusion. It is high time researchers,stakeholders and policy-makers discuss the possibility of inclusivepolicies and avenues for youth.
