India has a sizable and dynamic labor market.
Despite having the largest workforce, agriculture makes up a small portion of the GDP.

Due to skill gaps, youth unemployment is high and female participation in the workforce is low. The majority of jobs are informal and provide little security. Tech-driven jobs and the gig economy are growing.
A 7–8% unemployment rate and regional differences underscore persistent difficulties.
