The upcoming annual budget for FY26 could announce further measures to boost employment generation, CII said on Sunday, emphasising that job creation at a mass scale is important to engage the young population productively, and drive inclusive growth in the world's most populous nation.
The industry body has suggested a seven-point agenda to harness India's demographic dividend, including an integrated national employment policy, support to labour-intensive sectors, and setting up an international mobility authority, among other targeted measures.
With a median age of just 29 years, India is a young country, and is set to add 133 million people to its working-age population by 2050.
The government could consider launching an internship programme in government offices in rural areas for the college-educated youth, CII said.
