NITI Aayog Report: 8.7 Crore Indian Youth Neither Working Nor Studying

A new NITI Aayog report reveals that 8.7 crore Indian youth aged 15-29 are currently classified as 'NEET'—not in education, employment, or training.

The data highlights a significant gender disparity, noting that only 3% of women in this age group are currently engaged in formal employment.

The report underscores an urgent need for skilling initiatives to bridge the gap between the current workforce and the demands of the formal economy.
