The working population of India is going to be approx. 800 million people by 2016.. posing an enormous challenge for
providing adequate education and employment. India would add to 130 million workers in the global market in this
decade.
A major challenge would be to create jobs for additional 71 million people by 2013 who would be joining the work
force.
Over 58 per cent population of India is below the age of 24 years. That means the figure stands at 564 million people
below the age of 24 years.

3. Reasons and Causes of Youth Unemployment & Entrepreneurship:
Socio-Cultural Factors as Inhibitors to Entrepreneurship
In some of the countries the social and cultural outlook of the societies may not encourage initiatives and entrepreneurship. Many
societies expect the youth to obtain education that enables them to get a job and earn salary to support the family. Economic
compulsions too can push the families to encourage youth to look for jobs and not look at opportunities. In some cases certain caste or
class of people are habituated to practicing certain occupations and thus entrepreneurship becomes a prerogative of certain sections of
the society. Some other societies are risk averse and tend to play safe, while many communities believe in their children pursuing
defense services opportunities or social service opportunities and so on.
Economic & Political Factors
Economies which are not growing are grappling with huge unemployment problems and this is affecting the youth too. When the
economy is down and the business is not doing well, there will be no opportunities for small entrepreneurs to provide services to
support the economy and business.
4. Industry Support & Patronage
In any industry, it is largely the business sector that provides opportunities for support services and creating new networks of
business enterprises. Similar to their role in social responsibility, Industry can create a very strong platform to help develop the
youth and give them the support and guidance as well as opportunities to the youth. In society where the industry enterprise is
not very significant or not very active, there can be no encouragement for youth entrepreneurship.
Finance & Business Support
One other biggest hurdle faced by each and every entrepreneur is the lack of financial backup and funding as well as guidanceOne other biggest hurdle faced by each and every entrepreneur is the lack of financial backup and funding as well as guidance
required to incubate new business. Most often those who attempt to start any enterprise do so borrowing from family and friends
. After a while the business starts to suffer due to lack of funds and they end up in a debt trap. Banking and financial assistance
should be made available easily and this can happen only with the active support and engagement by the government.
Political factors
Political will and focus to focus on youth in the country and to create a positive environment that encourages youth to dream and work
towards realise their dream is very much necessary in any society. It is the political will that can spearhead the Youth revolution.
Absence of stability in the political situation of the country and the political party’s outlook towards this area can make or break the
youth entrepreneurship’s growth.
Education System & Orientation
In most of the countries today the education system is geared to enabling the youth to pass out with their qualifications based on
academic knowledge and prepare for seeking a job. There is little or no focus on building and equipping the students with
leadership, building awareness and giving them training for entrepreneurship. Of late there is a trend to introduce special courses
and training modules on entrepreneurship in many of the universities
