Pillar: Agency & Engagement
48% of young men in Mumbai read a newspaper regularly, better than the typical district. 87.3% use the internet, better than the typical district. MY Bharat and the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan build on this base to organise youth for civic and community participation.
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 runs ahead of the national picture on women who read a newspaper regularly at 32.7%, women using the internet at 60.2% and higher-education enrolment at 38.8%. On young people in the labour force aged 15 to 29 at 48.1%, it sits close to the national mark.
