CHENNAI: A report from the chairman of the Prime Minister Economic Advisory Committee has shown that Tamil Nadu, a State with high incidence of youth unemployment, saw urban unemployment double from 2020 to 2021. According to the report, titled ‘Post Covid Employment Scenario in India’, by Bibek Debroy, the urban unemployment rate in TN, though similar to the national average of 7.27 per cent in February 2021, is more than double that of the previous year.
The rate at the level of ‘graduate and above’ was at 16.78 per cent in February 2021, and it continues to remain higher than other education-level bracket. This was coupled with a nearly three per cent fall in labour participation rate compared to the previous year.
