Pillar: Economic Participation
Mumbai places 4,633.4 apprentices per lakh youth, better than the typical district. The Apprenticeship Placement Cell is the administrative engine behind that number, matching trainees to employers.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 21% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 59% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 12% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Mumbai, which ranks 1 of 36 in Maharashtra for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 66.4 out of 100. It trails the national picture on ITI seats per lakh youth at 337. On informal workers with any social-security cover at 0.6%, it sits close to the national mark.
