73% of registered enterprises are in services while 27% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 55% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Karimganj, which ranks 34 of 35 in Assam for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 39.3 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 45.1%. On women who are anaemic at 52%, it sits close to the national mark.
