Abstract
Abstract: Youth unemployment is a serious economic and social issue in Uttarakhand. Unemployment among youth is around 20 per cent compared to all India average of 15 per cent. Joblessness among educated youth is quite acute – around 40% of the graduates are unemployed. The incidence of unemployment is disproportionately higher in the hill districts compared to the three plain districts. Joblessness is a major trigger for out migration from hills to the plains of India. This paper shows that the current design, delivery, and diffusion of vocational skill among youth has only partially succeeded in engaging and absorbing youth within the State’s economy. To improve employability of youth, major changes in formal and vocational education is needed.
