Tittle of Ph.D Topic:  Skill Development Policy in Kashmir: An Economic Appraisal.

 

Abstract :

The current research is designed to study the employability scenario which falls in the domain of Human Resource Development, that will contribute in the development of skills in labour force and the providence of adaptable skill ecosystems in Jammu & Kashmir. The impact of disequilibrium in labour market is creating skill gaps hence generating unemployment or under-employment. On demand side, a growth oriented modern high-tech industrial base is to be developed, and, on the supply side, a diverse and high-tech skill ecosystem is to be developed for the young workforce. Only then market failures and state failures can be understood and technically addressed. This research will focus on finding the reasons that why certain interventions to develop the skill at national and state levels have not been fully successful so for to increase the labour force participation rate in general and employability in particular among educated youth. An attempt will be made to find out the relation between provisions of skill and employability of youth since the inception of National Policy of Skill Development (2009). Further, present study will analyse the factors that determine the provisions for educated youth with respect to the adaptable skill ecosystems and its impact on their employability.
