520 _aThe effect of educational and skill mismatch on wages and job satisfaction in the urban labour market of Assam is examined to show that educational and skill mismatches influence labour market outcomes. Educational mismatch, specifically overeducated workers, encounters a wage penalty compared to their adequately educated counterparts. In contrast, skill mismatches have a more pronounced impact on job satisfaction, where underutilisation of skills negatively affects job satisfaction. Persistent gender- and caste-based wage disparities are seen. Targeted policy interventions, such as region-specific skill development programmes and policies to establish linkages between educational institutions and industries, are recommended.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/special-articles/navigating-educational-and-skill-mismatches.html
