@amitbasole is go to man on india’s job employment crisis especially increasing trend of higher productivity to lower productivity jobs and how this trend has to be reversed if job quality to increase. and how different state government gearing for the challenge.
1/Unemployment data is NOT the problem. The issue lies in what unemployment measures. Low unemployment rates may seem counterintuitive, but that’s a reflection of the definition, not of poor data quality.
Sad news of the passing of a stalwart.
