本文回顾了印度青年教育、技能发展和就业的现状，并思考了印度技能发展体系面临的挑战。借鉴印度工业最发达的邦之一卡纳塔克邦的经验，本文讨论了最近为促进年轻人过渡到工作世界而采取的举措。在印度，即将进入劳动力市场的年轻人构成了人口结构中最大的部分。大多数年轻人接受教育和培训的机会有限，大多数人在非正规部门找到工作。近年来，印度迅速扩大了教育机构的规模和招生规模，但辍学率仍然很高，受教育程度仍然很低。虽然印度有一个完善的职业培训体系，但它还没有让年轻人充分准备好掌握当今工业所需的技能。因此，为了加快经济增长并利用人口红利，中国最近开始了大幅的政策改革，以加快技能发展。这些改革导致了国家体制框架和体制层面的重要变化。
This paper reviews the current state of education, skills development and employment for Indian youth, and considers the challenges facing India's skills development system. Drawing from the experience of Karnataka, one of India's most industrially developed states, the paper discusses recent initiatives to facilitate young people's transition to the world of work. In India, young people who will soon be entering the labor market, constitute the largest segment of the demographic structure. The majority of young people have limited access to education and training, and most find work in the informal sector. In recent years India has rapidly expanded the capacity of educational institutions and enrollments, but dropout rates remain high, and educational attainment remains low. While India has a well-institutionalized system of vocational training, it has not sufficiently prepared its youth with the skills that today's industries require. Thus, to speed its economic growth and take advantage of its 'demographic dividend', the country has recently embarked on drastic policy reforms to accelerate skills development. These reforms have led to important changes, both in the national institutional framework and at the institutional level.
