<br/><br/> Despite some moderation in the last few years, youth unemployment, particularly unemployment among the highly educated, is much higher in India than global levels. While the demand for higher education is driven by the positive relationship between education, employment quality, and market returns, this paper shows that returns are getting moderated over time, more and more highly educated young people are overqualified for the jobs they hold and there is an increasing gap between the supply of graduate labour and growth of high-skilled employment. In the recent period, the share of agriculture and unpaid family work has increased, more so among women and highly educated youth.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/50/review-labour-and-employment/education-employment-and-youth-labour-market-india.html<br/>
