Pillar: Opportunity Infrastructure
Mumbai disburses ₹37,105 in small business loans per lakh population. The district trains 90.2 youth per lakh under short-term skilling, behind the typical district. The Rural Self Employment Training Institute prepares rural youth to use credit like this to start their own enterprise.
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 self-employed workers at 30.4%. On skilling trainees who get certified at 92.5% and young people in the labour force aged 15 to 29 at 48.1%, it sits close to the national mark.
