Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of unemployment in India, noting that the unemployment rate among highly educated youth is significantly higher than among the illiterate. He explains that this is due to the 'toy' of government jobs, which society and families encourage young people to chase for years. While less educated individuals start working early and gain skills, many graduates waste their youth preparing for competitive exams, often reaching their mid-thirties without any practical experience. This results in a situation where the income difference between a highly educated person and a semi-educated person at age thirty-five is minimal in India compared to other countries.
