Unemployment in India is a social issue and unemployment records in India are kept by the Ministry of Labour and Employment of India. As per the constitution of India, the responsibility to provide proper gainful employment lies with the state. As of September 2018, India had 31 million jobless people.
Specifically, they calculate the 1% increased growth in India resulted in 540,000 more jobs on average. However, according to the analysis, the job creation rate was still inadequate in both the terms of quality and quantity.
On quality, they point on the predominance of agricultural labour and the extremely modest growth in regular wage on employment, which is considered a better, steadier form of employment. On quantity, they reveal that India's employment rate is significantly below the other countries with similar per capita income.
