Mysore/Mysuru: Four out of 10 youths who received vocational training in various technical and non-technical institutes are out of labour force and a significant chunk of those in the workforce have remained unemployed. The COVID pandemic had a devastating and disproportionate impact on youth employment with more than four in 10 young people forced to stop working since the outbreak.
Additionally, more than six in 10 young workers who were employed in accommodation, food services, wholesale and retail trade have lost their jobs and regular income — in the four sectors that have been most disrupted by the crisis.
