We're releasing the next State of Working India 2026 report in Delhi on the 17th of March, at IHC, 9:30 AM. This year's report looks at the theme of *`Youth in the labour market: Pathways from learning to earning'.* Register here:

Re-employment in permanent salaried jobs yields the highest return to prolonged unemployment. This explains the wait among educated individuals for whom expected benefits justify the cost of job search. (7/7)

[CSE- Azim Premji University @working_india]

Unemployment rate is the usual metric to understand the ‘wait’ for employment, but how long someone stays jobless also matters. A new CSE WP by Kannan examines what drives unemployment duration & its impact on re-employment earnings and job type.

A multinomial logit suggests that with the increase in the duration of unemployment, the relative probabilities of entering self employment or salaried employment rise, while casual labour becomes less likely. (6/7)

[CSE- Azim Premji University @working_india]

While casual work is easier to find, educated jobseekers face long waits. This calls for urgent policy action on youth unemployment - should we focus on skills, training or stronger aggregate demand? Much more research is required, but the urgency of the task is evident. (7/7)

A new CSE working paper by Rahul Menon and Paaritosh Nath examines job search and job-finding rates in urban India and what this means for labour market dynamics. The analysis reveals weaknesses in the urban economy over 2017-2023. Available here: https://t.co/bX9K5tli2i (1/7)

[CSE- Azim Premji University @working_india]

The study is important for two reasons: it raises critical questions for future research on how India’s labour market works and, it highlights the urgent need to address low and falling job-finding rates, especially among women, youth, and the educated. (6/7)
