Demographic Dividend Applied to Indian Economy.pptxNithin Kumar
This document discusses demographic dividend in India. It explains that India currently has a large working age population compared to its dependent population. This demographic shift can provide an economic boost over the next few decades if India is able to capitalize on its workforce. However, there are also challenges to achieving this dividend, such as lack of skills, low education levels, and need for job creation. The document outlines actions needed like improving education, healthcare, skills development, and policies to promote business and entrepreneurship.
This is a presentation used for explaining the importance and concept of Skill Development with respect to various issues addressed by the UNDP, OECD, ILO and India.
The document discusses India's need to focus on skill development to address unemployment and shortage of skilled workers. Some key points:
- 54% of India's population is under 25 but there is widespread unemployment even among educated youth. Only 5% of the workforce has vocational training, one of the lowest rates in the world.
- 12.8 million new workers enter the labor market each year but vocational training infrastructure can only accommodate 2.5 million. Productivity is also among the lowest in the world.
- Proper skill development could help India benefit from its demographic dividend but failure could result in a demographic nightmare. The document advocates for reforms to address these issues.
This document discusses increasing youth employability in India. It notes that while India has a large youth population, many graduates are unemployable due to lacking important skills like communication, analytical abilities, and domain knowledge. The unemployment rate is increasing and many factors contribute to unemployment, such as defects in the education system. Solutions proposed include improving education to focus on skills rather than just academics, encouraging entrepreneurship, reforming policies to support all sectors, and developing specialized training courses. With reforms to education, employment policies, and the economy, India can better utilize its youth population.
Skill development is a key part of India's "Make in India" initiative to boost manufacturing. The program aims to develop skills to meet industry needs and create job opportunities. However, India faces several challenges in skill development including a large skill gap, inadequate training capacity compared to demand, and a mismatch between education and industry needs. The government has launched reforms and initiatives through programs like NSDC and expanding ITIs, but much remains to be done to reform education, enhance training capacity, and develop industry-specific skills to fully capitalize on India's demographic dividend for manufacturing growth under "Make in India".
Start a Skill Development Training Centre. Best Education and Training Sector Business Ideas.
India has one in every of the biggest technical work force within the world. However, compared to its population it's not significant and there's a tremendous scope of improvement during this area. In India, the emphasis has been on general education, with vocational education at the receiving end. This has resulted in large number of educated folks remaining unemployed. This phenomenon has currently been recognized by the planners and therefore there's a larger thrust on vocationalization of education. Another shortcoming within the area of technical and education is that until currently, the number of engineers graduating is more than the diploma holders. This is often creating an imbalance, as additional workforces are required at the lower level.

Boosting Skillsets: Increasing the employability of youth abhishekgawande
This document discusses increasing youth employability in India. It notes that while India has a large youth population, many graduates are unemployable due to lacking important skills like communication, analytical abilities, and domain knowledge. Statistics show that around 47% of Indian graduates are unemployable. The unemployment rate has risen in recent years due to factors like economic slowdown. Some of the key causes of unemployment are discussed, as well as suggestions for improving employability like reforming education, encouraging entrepreneurship, and improving industry-education linkage. The conclusion emphasizes the need for changes to policies and systems to better utilize India's demographic dividend.
The document discusses the importance of skill development in India. It notes that while India has a large youth population, there is a mismatch between the skills youth have and what employers require. The government has launched several initiatives to address this issue, including the National Skill Development Mission and programs led by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. Skill development is crucial to improve employment opportunities and productivity in India by helping individuals transition into jobs or start businesses. However, challenges remain around the quality of training programs and negative perceptions of vocational education. Ongoing efforts are focused on reforming the skilling system to better meet business needs and create new opportunities.
The document discusses the need to boost skillsets in India through vocational training. It notes that currently less than 2% of India's youth receives vocational training, compared to 95% in developed countries. The task is to upskill 500 million youth by 2022. The document recommends establishing a national board for vocational education to oversee the sector, as well as national policies to regulate qualifications and ensure industry involvement. It also stresses the need to increase funding, public-private partnerships, teacher training, and women's participation in vocational education.
This document discusses the skills gap facing the GCC countries and strategies to address it. It notes that while GCC countries are investing heavily in education, there remains a fundamental misalignment between the skills employers need and what the education system provides.

The document recommends specific actions that governments, the private sector, and education systems can take to collaborate better and ensure the workforce has the necessary skills.

India's Demographic Dividend - How to ExploitSagar Chavan
This document discusses India's demographic dividend and the need to develop skills to take advantage of it. It notes that while India has shifted directly to a services sector economy without strong industrial development, re-industrialization is needed to create jobs and drive economic growth.

India has a young population that can boost its workforce if given proper skills through improved vocational education programs involving government and private sector collaboration.
BOOSTING SKILLSETS:INCRESING EMPLOYABILITY OF YOUTHDHRUVIN PATEL
1. India faces significant youth unemployment as nearly half of all unemployed are young job seekers, despite gains in literacy and demographic dividend.
2. Most work is provided through insecure informal sector arrangements, leaving many educated youth unemployed, underemployed, or in unstable work.
3. Improving vocational training and social security systems as well as cooperation across labour market actors are needed to address the challenges.
1. India faces significant youth unemployment as nearly half of the unemployed are young job seekers, despite gains in literacy and demographic dividend.
2. Most employment is provided through insecure, informal work. India lacks social security and adequate vocational training to address the skills mismatch between job seekers and available work.
3. Several government schemes have aimed to promote employment and skills training, but youth unemployment remains a challenge due to factors such as limited job growth, skills gaps, and a shortage of decent work opportunities. Expanding education and improving the education system to focus more on practical and vocational skills could help address this issue.
Without adequate skills development, people remain marginalized and countries cannot compete globally in the knowledge-based economy. Three key issues are highlighted:
1) 75% of Indian technical graduates and 85% of general graduates are unemployable.
2) 80% of India's rural and urban workforce lacks marketable skills.
