The India Employment Report 2024 has revealed a soaring unemployment rate over the past two decades. The rate increased from 2.1 per cent in 2012 to 5.8 per cent in 2019, with a marginal decline to 4.1 per cent in 2022. From 2000 to 2022, the labour force participation came down from 61.6 per cent to 55.2 per cent. Similar trends were observed in the workforce participation rates. Consequently, the number of unemployed persons aged 15 or above, both in rural and urban areas, increased from 92 lakh in 2000 to 2.9 crore in 2019. A decadal comparison (2012 to 2022) shows that there was a rise of 1.25 crore unemployed people — from 1.04 crore in 2012 to 2.29 crore in 2022. On an annual basis, 70-80 lakh youth are added to the workforce; their productive engagement could help India reap the demographic dividend.

I was going to press it for as long as I could possibly press, but I thought, 'It's OK. We are going to play for five, six hours. It's going to end in a draw, and let's focus on the tiebreaks.' But then suddenly after Rf2, I saw [the game] was actually done. I was already preparing myself to go through that huge tiebreak fight and suddenly it was all over and I had achieved my dream.
