Covid and unemployment in India
India has faced a worsening unemployment problem in recent years that has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Job losses have reached over 21 million since the start of the pandemic, especially impacting salaried workers and those employed in urban areas. However, high unemployment predated the pandemic due to years of "jobless growth" where economic growth did not generate sufficient formal sector jobs despite a growing workforce. Addressing the unemployment crisis will require increased investment to boost domestic production and formalize informal jobs as well as social support for vulnerable groups.
