The unemployment rate was 18.1 per cent and 15 per cent for youths who passed secondary and middle education, respectively.
The unemployment rate was 15% for overall graduates.
It indicates that with lower educational qualifications, the rate of unemployment also decreases.
As per the report, 60 per cent of women are self-employed as compared to 50 per cent before the pandemic.
This report states that job creation was interrupted by the pandemic which caused larger growth in distressed employment.
The number of workers from Scheduled Castes engaged in waste-related and leather-related work has declined rapidly.

In 2018, 75.6 per cent of SC/ST men in casual wage work also had sons involved in casual wage work.
In 2018, there were only 53 per cent of people in the general category whose sons were also engaged in the same work.
