India's Skills Challenge: Reforming Vocational Education and Training to Harness the Demographic Dividend

Santosh Mehrotra (Editor)

Synopsis

This book critically reviews the vocational training system in India. Based on primary surveys of vocational training providers and enterprises, it provides a comprehensive agenda of reforms to improve the employability of India's youth. It recommends that vocational training must be expanded in secondary schools (in which India lags) and higher education institutions, industry participation must be enhanced, and the National Vocational or Skills Qualification Framework must be implemented.

It cautions that without the rapid and effective implementation of this reform agenda, India may not be able to harness its demographic dividend, which is predicted to last only for another quarter of this century.
