Most of the employed persons in India are poorly educated. The maximum education of a bulk of those employed in India is high school graduation. As of September-December 2022, nearly 40 per cent of the workforce (we use the term to represent those who are employed) were high school graduates. The maximum education achieved by them was between the 10th and 12th standards.
India suffers from a poorly educated workforce that is confined to poor quality jobs. Most employment is informal and in the unorganised sector. This is not new. But India is still unable to solve this old problem.
