SubscribeMillions of young Indians are stepping out of campus with degrees but no job offers. According to Niti Aayog, graduate unemployment stands at 13 per cent, higher than the national unemployment rate of 3.2 per cent. There is also the issue of mismatch between employment and degrees: only 8.25 per cent of graduates in India work in jobs that match their qualifications. Of the 3.4 crore students enrolled in undergraduate programmes, combined enrolment in B.A., B.Sc and B. Com exceeds two crore. However, degrees like these are not generating enough jobs. The problem is also systemic. Students have degrees, diplomas and certificates, but because of outdated curricula in many educational institutions, and higher and technical education failing to keep pace with changing industry requirements, they lack the required vocational skills and knowledge to keep pace with a demanding work culture. A large number of unemployable graduates in the country is likely to turn India’s demographic dividend into a liability.

SubscribeOutlook magazine's latest cover story is a package based on a survey that we conducted with market-research platform Toluna. The Outlook-Toluna Survey on Women and Family throws up some surprising facts and demolishes a number of myths. Some of the interesting findings are: Urban women want greater policy focus on human development-health and education rather than cash transfers or tax benefits to be mothers. Women want to be mothers not because cultural or societal pressures but because they want to start their own families. Then we discuss why working women are postponing motherhood and what they expect from employers. These and more stories in the latest Outlook issue.

SubscribeYour food may not be safe. The system knows it. Yet the food chain keeps moving. From five-star kitchens to roadside dhabas, food passes through a chain where contamination, adulteration and poor hygiene can enter at every stage, with consequences ranging from diarrhoea and jaundice to typhoid and hepatitis. Into this maze has stepped Tukaram Mundhe. Since taking charge as Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration commissioner in May, Mundhe has overseen more than 12,000 inspections and raids, cancelled or suspended around 600 licences and sealed more than 300 eateries. But raids cannot fix a broken system. India has the laws, standards and regulators. Yet violations persist, enforcement remains uneven and corruption finds its way through the gaps. Mundhe can keep cracking the whip. But can one man change the system? In this issue, Outlook examines India’s food-safety maze, where it fails and why one Tukaram is not enough.
