ARCHANA, a native of Telan gana’s Medak district, gradua ted in 2017 in the science stream with distinction, which the 22yearold thought was good enough to land her a moderately wellpaying job. a few months later she was working as a “domestic help”, her dreams long broken by the harsh reality of India’s dismal job scenario. her brother, four years older and also a graduate, was also into odd jobs—a delivery boy for Swiggy or parttime driver. archana hopes to complete her postgraduation which she feels could give her a better chance at landing a job. any job.

What it means is that the available jobs can provide employment to hardly 10-15 per cent of the millions of young Indians ready to enter the labour force each year.
