A recent study shows that nearly half of Rajasthan's young workforce earns only Rs 7,110 a month, raising questions about the quality and distribution of new jobs in the state.
Rajasthan has seen a rise in job openings across several sectors, yet a recent survey reveals a troubling trend among its young workforce.
The data indicates that almost 50% of workers aged 18 to 35 are earning a monthly wage of just Rs 7,110, a figure that barely covers basic living expenses.
Experts point out that the low pay is concentrated in informal and low‑skill jobs, with limited opportunities for career progression or skill development.
The state government has announced plans to boost skill‑training programs and attract higher‑pay industries, but critics argue that more targeted policies are needed to lift wages and improve job quality.
