- | Thursday | 23rd November, 2017
“About 20 % of the world’s working population is in India and that means a big thing for the country,” said Prof. Vasanthi. Satyapal, director of the centre, said about three decades ago youth were considered to be deviant or problem sector in society. But through empowerment things have changed over the years, the youth segment is considered to be the most dynamic segment. According to her about 65 % of the population in India is in the age group of 15 to 59 years, which is considered to be the working population and about 27.5% are in the age group of 15-29 years, who are considered to be youth, as per the UNDP norms. Unemployment rate among youth is about 14 % and this can be reduced by empowering the youth, she said.
