The report says that employment generation and public service provision should not be compromised for meeting arbitrary fiscal deficit targets, and calls for a new industrial policy to revive manufacturing.
The report finds rising unemployment since 2016 among higher and less educated workers: 5 million workers left the workforce in 2016-2018. The beginning of the decline in jobs coincided with demonetisation in 2016.
