72% of registered enterprises are in services while 28% are in manufacturing. Only 26% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 29% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Daman, which ranks 1 of 3 in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 55.5 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 1.9%. On women who are anaemic at 60.5%, it sits close to the national mark.
