Rural Youth “Today’s youth represent a group with serious vulnerabilities in the world of work. In recent years, slowing global employment growth and increasing unemployment, underemployment and disillusionment have hit young people hardest. As a result, today’s youth are faced with a growing deficit of decent work opportunities and high levels of economic and social uncertainty”

MOST ESSENTIAL CAUSES 1)With rural employment being concentrated in small firms, opportunities for young people to undergo training or to upgrade their skills are limited. 2)Many rural employers have a poor knowledge of the Government employment schemes and programs. Those who are aware frequently feel unable to become involved. Barriers to participation include an inability to meet minimum training requirements or to provide access to external forms of training. 3)Poor or costly transport facilities restricted young people’s employment opportunities. 4)No government and Private sector Participations are available. 5)Poor Education system and infrastructure facilities.

Rural youth falls under this category! “India's problem today is not a shortage of jobs. It is a shortage of employable skills. Provide skills and they will create their own employment and self- employment opportunities.”
