In India, what type of unemployment is created due to lack of employable skills among the educated youths in India?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Educated unemployment.

  • Educated unemployment happens when people with academic degrees have difficulty finding work because their education doesn't align with the practical skills employers need, leading to a gap between qualifications and job requirements.
  • Many graduates have academic qualifications but lack practical, job-ready skills. This issue often stems from outdated curricula, inadequate focus on vocational training, and insufficient alignment between educational programs and industry needs.
  • Consequently, despite having formal education, many young people find it challenging to secure relevant employment, leading to a significant gap between education and employability.
