For unemployment based on education and age groups, the report stated that 42.3 per cent of graduates under 25 are unemployed whereas the figure stands at 21.4 per cent for those who have completed higher secondary education in the same age group. Notably, with lower educational qualifications, the rate of unemployment also decreased.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Rosa Abraham, co-author of the report and among the principal investigators for the India Working Survey, explained, “There are two things that are potentially happening here– one is of course that as a graduate your aspirations and ambition for the kind of work you want to do and the minimum wage you’d demand is much higher. So if the economy is not generating such jobs, they may choose to be unemployed.”

Particular biases are fine so long as they’re not trying to hide them, which I would see as dishonesty. I’m particularly interested in how the society and caste system has evolved from post-WW2 to the present day, my knowledge of Indian history ends rather abruptly with Ghandi.

I’m not sure about their graduates and doing next projection may be hasty, wrong and anegtoticaly based only on limited exposure of cases, but … But if they fake studies same as some of indian, suposedly “programmers”, fake work experience in interviews and/or doing work given – the reason behind the large % unemployment of graduates maybe that they can’t do shit. I mean, lacking quality of ethics results a wrong learned behaviour – cheat vs own (admit) reality and learn (bring on board effort) for the future.
