Abstract
Youth population (15-29 years) in India accounts for around 27 percent
of total population; it is around one third of total working age population
(Census 2011). Youth population of India are important for harnessing the
opportunity of demographic dividend by providing proper education and timely
productive employment. So this paper is tried to find out the proportion of
educating, working and missing youths. The main objective is to find out the
determining factors for educating, working and missing youths. To find out the
results, data from NSSO 68th round (2011-12) is used. Statistical
technique such as logistic regression analysis is employed to find out the
determining factors for educating, working and missing youths. By employing
logistic regression model it is found that attending educational institute
declines as one youth moves to a higher age and it is positively associated
with higher socio-economic status and youths of educated household heads and
better economic status are more likely to be in educational institutes. The
chance of unemployment is higher for youths of better socio-economic status.
While, higher educational attainment is associated with lower workforce
participation for youths of well-off families. The chance of ‘being missing’
for the youths of old group increases for those who belong to the
socio-economically well-off group.
