&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;More than 20 per cent of Indians in the 15-24 age group were jobless and seeking work, according to startling data released on Tuesday by Census 2011.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In absolute terms, this army of unemployed youth is staggeringly huge - around 4.7 crore of which 2.6 crore were men and 2.1 crore women.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
These definitive figures for 2011 reveal the deep and pervasive unemployment that has gripped India since the past decade even as economic growth was zooming along at over 8 per cent per annum for most of this period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The figures include the entirely unemployed and marginal workers who get work only for up to six months in a year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Overall, the unemployment rate among the working age population in the 15-59 age group was a worrisome 14.5 per cent, including marginal workers seeking work.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In the 25-29 age group, the unemployment rate was nearly 18 per cent. Even among those in the 30-34 age group, nearly 6 per cent were unemployed, numbering over 1.2 crore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dalits, adivasis struggle with rampant joblessness&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Among dalits, unemployment rate in the working age population of 15-59 years was a shocking 18 per cent, much higher than the general population. Among adivasis, the unemployment rate was even higher at over 19 per cent. These are the two most marginalized sections of Indian society and clearly they are struggling with widespread unemployment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Inexplicably, census authorities have not released data for 15-19 years and other such five-year age groups for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, like it has been done for the general population. In the 15-34 age group, 21 per cent dalits and 22 per cent adivasis were reported to be unemployed. This includes the &#039;youth&#039; age group of 15-24 years but in later years, more persons should be finding employment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One myth busted by this age-wise data on workers and non-workers is that young women do not want to work either because of family responsibilities or social disapproval. While the bulk of non-workers are indeed women, among younger women 20 to 29 years of age, the share of those seeking work is the same as for men in the same age group - slightly over 20 per cent. This is the new generation that is relatively better educated and wants to build a better life, but the opportunities are not there.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This finding is in consonance with the fact that women are getting married at a later age, and having children at an even later age than before.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In urban areas, nearly 18 per cent of the 15-24 age group is seeking work while in rural areas the share rises to over 21 per cent. In both rural and urban areas, the share of young women seeking work is high at 17 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. So, young women wanting to work is no longer just an urban phenomenon.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new census data also shows how the lack of social security for senior citizens and low economic status is forcing them to continue working despite their advanced age. Nearly 3.3 crore persons of 60 years age or more are employed as main workers, that is, full-time regular employment. Besides these, another one crore senior citizens work as marginal workers. The bulk of elderly workers are male.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Some 18.5 lakh persons of age over 80 years are still working as regular workers and another 6.5 lakh octogenarians eke out a living as ill-paid marginal workers.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;More than 20 per cent of Indians in the 15-24 age group were jobless and seeking work, according to startling data released on Tuesday by Census 2011.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In absolute terms, this army of unemployed youth is staggeringly huge - around 4.7 crore of which 2.6 crore were men and 2.1 crore women.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
These definitive figures for 2011 reveal the deep and pervasive unemployment that has gripped India since the past decade even as economic growth was zooming along at over 8 per cent per annum for most of this period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The figures include the entirely unemployed and marginal workers who get work only for up to six months in a year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Overall, the unemployment rate among the working age population in the 15-59 age group was a worrisome 14.5 per cent, including marginal workers seeking work.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In the 25-29 age group, the unemployment rate was nearly 18 per cent. Even among those in the 30-34 age group, nearly 6 per cent were unemployed, numbering over 1.2 crore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dalits, adivasis struggle with rampant joblessness&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Among dalits, unemployment rate in the working age population of 15-59 years was a shocking 18 per cent, much higher than the general population. Among adivasis, the unemployment rate was even higher at over 19 per cent. These are the two most marginalized sections of Indian society and clearly they are struggling with widespread unemployment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Inexplicably, census authorities have not released data for 15-19 years and other such five-year age groups for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, like it has been done for the general population. In the 15-34 age group, 21 per cent dalits and 22 per cent adivasis were reported to be unemployed. This includes the &#039;youth&#039; age group of 15-24 years but in later years, more persons should be finding employment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One myth busted by this age-wise data on workers and non-workers is that young women do not want to work either because of family responsibilities or social disapproval. While the bulk of non-workers are indeed women, among younger women 20 to 29 years of age, the share of those seeking work is the same as for men in the same age group - slightly over 20 per cent. This is the new generation that is relatively better educated and wants to build a better life, but the opportunities are not there.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This finding is in consonance with the fact that women are getting married at a later age, and having children at an even later age than before.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In urban areas, nearly 18 per cent of the 15-24 age group is seeking work while in rural areas the share rises to over 21 per cent. In both rural and urban areas, the share of young women seeking work is high at 17 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. So, young women wanting to work is no longer just an urban phenomenon.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new census data also shows how the lack of social security for senior citizens and low economic status is forcing them to continue working despite their advanced age. Nearly 3.3 crore persons of 60 years age or more are employed as main workers, that is, full-time regular employment. Besides these, another one crore senior citizens work as marginal workers. The bulk of elderly workers are male.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Some 18.5 lakh persons of age over 80 years are still working as regular workers and another 6.5 lakh octogenarians eke out a living as ill-paid marginal workers.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;More than 20 per cent of Indians in the 15-24 age group were jobless and seeking work, according to startling data released on Tuesday by Census 2011.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In absolute terms, this army of unemployed youth is staggeringly huge - around 4.7 crore of which 2.6 crore were men and 2.1 crore women.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
These definitive figures for 2011 reveal the deep and pervasive unemployment that has gripped India since the past decade even as economic growth was zooming along at over 8 per cent per annum for most of this period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The figures include the entirely unemployed and marginal workers who get work only for up to six months in a year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Overall, the unemployment rate among the working age population in the 15-59 age group was a worrisome 14.5 per cent, including marginal workers seeking work.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In the 25-29 age group, the unemployment rate was nearly 18 per cent. Even among those in the 30-34 age group, nearly 6 per cent were unemployed, numbering over 1.2 crore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dalits, adivasis struggle with rampant joblessness&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Among dalits, unemployment rate in the working age population of 15-59 years was a shocking 18 per cent, much higher than the general population. Among adivasis, the unemployment rate was even higher at over 19 per cent. These are the two most marginalized sections of Indian society and clearly they are struggling with widespread unemployment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Inexplicably, census authorities have not released data for 15-19 years and other such five-year age groups for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, like it has been done for the general population. In the 15-34 age group, 21 per cent dalits and 22 per cent adivasis were reported to be unemployed. This includes the &#039;youth&#039; age group of 15-24 years but in later years, more persons should be finding employment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One myth busted by this age-wise data on workers and non-workers is that young women do not want to work either because of family responsibilities or social disapproval. While the bulk of non-workers are indeed women, among younger women 20 to 29 years of age, the share of those seeking work is the same as for men in the same age group - slightly over 20 per cent. This is the new generation that is relatively better educated and wants to build a better life, but the opportunities are not there.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This finding is in consonance with the fact that women are getting married at a later age, and having children at an even later age than before.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In urban areas, nearly 18 per cent of the 15-24 age group is seeking work while in rural areas the share rises to over 21 per cent. In both rural and urban areas, the share of young women seeking work is high at 17 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. So, young women wanting to work is no longer just an urban phenomenon.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new census data also shows how the lack of social security for senior citizens and low economic status is forcing them to continue working despite their advanced age. Nearly 3.3 crore persons of 60 years age or more are employed as main workers, that is, full-time regular employment. Besides these, another one crore senior citizens work as marginal workers. The bulk of elderly workers are male.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Some 18.5 lakh persons of age over 80 years are still working as regular workers and another 6.5 lakh octogenarians eke out a living as ill-paid marginal workers.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;More than 20 per cent of Indians in the 15-24 age group were jobless and seeking work, according to startling data released on Tuesday by Census 2011.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In absolute terms, this army of unemployed youth is staggeringly huge - around 4.7 crore of which 2.6 crore were men and 2.1 crore women.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
These definitive figures for 2011 reveal the deep and pervasive unemployment that has gripped India since the past decade even as economic growth was zooming along at over 8 per cent per annum for most of this period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The figures include the entirely unemployed and marginal workers who get work only for up to six months in a year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Overall, the unemployment rate among the working age population in the 15-59 age group was a worrisome 14.5 per cent, including marginal workers seeking work.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In the 25-29 age group, the unemployment rate was nearly 18 per cent. Even among those in the 30-34 age group, nearly 6 per cent were unemployed, numbering over 1.2 crore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dalits, adivasis struggle with rampant joblessness&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Among dalits, unemployment rate in the working age population of 15-59 years was a shocking 18 per cent, much higher than the general population. Among adivasis, the unemployment rate was even higher at over 19 per cent. These are the two most marginalized sections of Indian society and clearly they are struggling with widespread unemployment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Inexplicably, census authorities have not released data for 15-19 years and other such five-year age groups for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, like it has been done for the general population. In the 15-34 age group, 21 per cent dalits and 22 per cent adivasis were reported to be unemployed. This includes the &#039;youth&#039; age group of 15-24 years but in later years, more persons should be finding employment.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
One myth busted by this age-wise data on workers and non-workers is that young women do not want to work either because of family responsibilities or social disapproval. While the bulk of non-workers are indeed women, among younger women 20 to 29 years of age, the share of those seeking work is the same as for men in the same age group - slightly over 20 per cent. This is the new generation that is relatively better educated and wants to build a better life, but the opportunities are not there.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This finding is in consonance with the fact that women are getting married at a later age, and having children at an even later age than before.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In urban areas, nearly 18 per cent of the 15-24 age group is seeking work while in rural areas the share rises to over 21 per cent. In both rural and urban areas, the share of young women seeking work is high at 17 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. So, young women wanting to work is no longer just an urban phenomenon.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new census data also shows how the lack of social security for senior citizens and low economic status is forcing them to continue working despite their advanced age. Nearly 3.3 crore persons of 60 years age or more are employed as main workers, that is, full-time regular employment. Besides these, another one crore senior citizens work as marginal workers. The bulk of elderly workers are male.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Some 18.5 lakh persons of age over 80 years are still working as regular workers and another 6.5 lakh octogenarians eke out a living as ill-paid marginal workers.

Even among those in the 30-34 age group, nearly 6 per cent were unemployed, numbering over 1.2 crore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dalits, adivasis struggle with rampant joblessness&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Among dalits, unemployment rate in the working age population of 15-59 years was a shocking 18 per cent, much higher than the general population.

These are the two most marginalized sections of Indian society and clearly they are struggling with widespread unemployment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Inexplicably, census authorities have not released data for 15-19 years and other such five-year age groups for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, like it has been done for the general population. In the 15-34 age group, 21 per cent dalits and 22 per cent adivasis were reported to be unemployed.

So, young women wanting to work is no longer just an urban phenomenon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The new census data also shows how the lack of social security for senior citizens and low economic status is forcing them to continue working despite their advanced age. Nearly 3.3 crore persons of 60 years age or more are employed as main workers, that is, full-time regular employment. Besides these, another one crore senior citizens work as marginal workers. The bulk of elderly workers are male.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Some 18.5 lakh persons of age over 80 years are still working as regular workers and another 6.5 lakh octogenarians eke out a living as ill-paid marginal workers.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>More than 20 per cent of Indians in the 15-24 age group were jobless and seeking work, according to startling data released on Tuesday by Census 2011.

<p align="justify">
In absolute terms, this army of unemployed youth is staggeringly huge - around 4.7 crore of which 2.6 crore were men and 2.1 crore women.
</p>
<p align="justify">
These definitive figures for 2011 reveal the deep and pervasive unemployment that has gripped India since the past decade even as economic growth was zooming along at over 8 per cent per annum for most of this period.

</p>
<p align="justify">
In the 25-29 age group, the unemployment rate was nearly 18 per cent. Even among those in the 30-34 age group, nearly 6 per cent were unemployed, numbering over 1.2 crore.

<p align="justify">
<em>Dalits, adivasis struggle with rampant joblessness</em>

Among adivasis, the unemployment rate was even higher at over 19 per cent. These are the two most marginalized sections of Indian society and clearly they are struggling with widespread unemployment.

In the 15-34 age group, 21 per cent dalits and 22 per cent adivasis were reported to be unemployed.

This finding is in consonance with the fact that women are getting married at a later age, and having children at an even later age than before.

</p>
<p align="justify">
Overall, the unemployment rate among the working age population in the 15-59 age group was a worrisome 14.5 per cent, including marginal workers seeking work.
</p>
<p align="justify">
In the 25-29 age group, the unemployment rate was nearly 18 per cent. Even among those in the 30-34 age group, nearly 6 per cent were unemployed, numbering over 1.2 crore.

<em>Dalits, adivasis struggle with rampant joblessness</em>
</p>
<p align="justify">
Among dalits, unemployment rate in the working age population of 15-59 years was a shocking 18 per cent, much higher than the general population. Among adivasis, the unemployment rate was even higher at over 19 per cent. These are the two most marginalized sections of Indian society and clearly they are struggling with widespread unemployment.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Inexplicably, census authorities have not released data for 15-19 years and other such five-year age groups for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, like it has been done for the general population. In the 15-34 age group, 21 per cent dalits and 22 per cent adivasis were reported to be unemployed. This includes the 'youth' age group of 15-24 years but in later years, more persons should be finding employment.
</p>
<p align="justify">
One myth busted by this age-wise data on workers and non-workers is that young women do not want to work either because of family responsibilities or social disapproval. While the bulk of non-workers are indeed women, among younger women 20 to 29 years of age, the share of those seeking work is the same as for men in the same age group - slightly over 20 per cent. This is the new generation that is relatively better educated and wants to build a better life, but the opportunities are not there.
</p>
<p align="justify">
This finding is in consonance with the fact that women are getting married at a later age, and having children at an even later age than before.
</p>
<p align="justify">
In urban areas, nearly 18 per cent of the 15-24 age group is seeking work while in rural areas the share rises to over 21 per cent. In both rural and urban areas, the share of young women seeking work is high at 17 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. So, young women wanting to work is no longer just an urban phenomenon.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The new census data also shows how the lack of social security for senior citizens and low economic status is forcing them to continue working despite their advanced age. Nearly 3.3 crore persons of 60 years age or more are employed as main workers, that is, full-time regular employment. Besides these, another one crore senior citizens work as marginal workers. The bulk of elderly workers are male.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Some 18.5 lakh persons of age over 80 years are still working as regular workers and another 6.5 lakh octogenarians eke out a living as ill-paid marginal workers.

Over 20% of young Indians are jobless -Subodh Varma

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: More than 20 per cent of Indians in the 15-24 age group were jobless and seeking work, according to startling data released on Tuesday by Census 2011. In absolute terms, this army of unemployed youth is staggeringly huge - around 4.7 crore of which 2.6 crore were men and 2.1 crore women. These definitive figures for 2011 reveal the deep and pervasive unemployment that has gripped India since the past decade even as economic growth was zooming along at over 8 per cent per annum for most of this period. The figures include the entirely unemployed and marginal workers who get work only for up to six months in a year. Overall, the unemployment rate among the working age population in the 15-59 age group was a worrisome 14.5 per cent, including marginal workers seeking work. In the 25-29 age group, the unemployment rate was nearly 18 per cent. Even among those in the 30-34 age group, nearly 6 per cent were unemployed, numbering over 1.2 crore.
