Debate Over India's Real Unemployment Rate

Imagine people looking for jobs in India.

The government says unemployment is low, but that might not tell the whole story.

Some people, like those with degrees or young adults in cities, have a much harder time finding work.

The official numbers are good, but they don't always show us who is working and if they're working enough.

Some people have jobs, but they aren't using their skills or making enough money.

Also, there has been an increase in self-employment after the pandemic, which doesn't always mean things are improving.

More data is needed to understand how things are for everyone.
