Unemployed Youths in the Country

Unemployed Youths in the Country

 As per results of two surveys conducted by National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) during 2004-05 and 2009-10, unemployment rates among persons in the age group of 15-29 years on usual status basis have marginally increased in rural areas and have reduced in urban areas.  The details of unemployment rate on the basis of education level in the age group of 15-29 are at Annex-I.  State-wise details of unemployment rates among youth in 2004-05 and 2009-10 in the age group of 15-29 years are at Annex II.

Employment to large number of people has been provided through schemes like  Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA), SwaranaJayantiShahariRozgarYojana (SJSRY); Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP); Swarnajayanti Gram SwarozgarYojana (SGSY) now restructured as National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), besides entrepreneurial development programmes run by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises. Recognizing the need to skill large number of people to make them employable, the Government set a target of skilling 5 crore persons during 12th Plan period. National Skill Development Agency has been set up to coordinate action among Central Ministries in this context.   

This information was given by Minister of State for Labour & Employment Shri  Kodikunnil Suresh in the Lok  Sabha today in reply to a written question.
