76% of registered enterprises are in services while 24% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 55% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Anand, which ranks 25 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 46.3 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 12.2%, while it lags on women who are anaemic at 66.2%.
