The size of India's labour force has stayed roughly the same, at around 430 million, since 2016, indicating that India is not generating sufficient jobs for the number of people entering the labour market, thereby losing its demographic dividend, says Mahesh Vyas, managing director at the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy. To fill this gap, the government has to not only provide its own jobs, it also has to create an enabling environment to motivate the private sector to invest and create good quality jobs, he told us in an interview.
