2. Why must we prioritize Youth?
• A successful insertion in the labour market at the beginning of one’s career has a profound
influence on later working life, while it can be difficult to catch up after an initial failure.
• High youth unemployment and under-employment have negative economic and social effects not
only for the individuals concerned, but also for societies, especially when discouragement and
exclusion boils over into social unrest.
• Equipping youth with skills relevant to the labour market is critical to their success in the labour
market and is a key responsibility of the education system
• Active labour market programmes, job-search assistance and even learnerships and skills
programmes for low-skilled youth, can make a difference in facilitating the transition to
employment for young jobseekers.
• Lastly India has the largest army of youth
