India Faces Unemployment Challenge: Reuters Survey

Addressing persistent unemployment is the primary challenge for the Indian government despite being the fastest-growing major economy globally. A survey of experts highlighted that 91% identified unemployment as the top economic issue, exacerbated by widening inequality and inflation pressures. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party's loss of parliamentary majority in recent elections was attributed to these economic woes. Experts emphasize the need for a job-specific strategy, increased public employment, and private sector involvement to tackle the employment crisis in India.
