Business Daily - Power Players: India's Gen‑Z jobs crisis
Download Power Players: India's Gen‑Z jobs crisis
This week, Will and Rahul speak to business correspondent Arunoday Mukharji in Delhi about how India's youth unemployment crisis helped force the resignation of the country's Education Minister and why it could mark a turning point for India's Gen‑Z. Exam leaks and a shortage of opportunities have sparked some of the biggest youth protests in years, raising difficult questions for the government. Nearly two-thirds of Indians are under 35, and more young people are graduating than ever before. But many can't find jobs. Can India create enough jobs for a generation with rising expectations? And what happens if it can't?
Presenters: Will Bain, Rahul Tandon and Arunoday Mukharji
Producer: Rebecca Smyllie
