Unemployment at home pushes thousands of Indians to look overseas for work – even war zones. What’s missing is a coherent policy to protect them.
While illegal outmigration from India is nothing new – one study found that about 725,000 Indians now live illegally in the US – the movement of people to conflict zones reflects potential migrants’ desire to escape desperate conditions at home for a relatively better life elsewhere, even when confronted with human emergencies caused by war.
Indians migrating to Russia and then finding themselves thrown into the conflict as combatants, and hundreds of people in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana states signing up for jobs in Israel, underscore an important point: migrating to conflict zones is considered a better choice to the uncertainties caused by lack of employment at home.
A recent report made two startling claims: one, about 83% of India’s youth grapple with “soaring unemployment”. Second, the proportion of educated youth (15 to 29 years old), with at least secondary level education, among the country’s total unemployed youth jumped from 35.2% in 2002 to 65.7% in 2022.

the RBI’s report based on KLEMS dated October 2022... “Employment, as measured by workforce participation rates, has been declining in India, especially among rural females.... between 2011 and 2017.” There has been no report after that. But, since 2017–18, there seems to have been a pickup in employment. For manufacturing and services (construction, trade), it is quite visible after 2020–21.

The Future of Jobs 2020 report WEF: Recession and Automation Changes Our Future of Work, But There are Jobs Coming, Report Says 20 Oct 2020
The workforce is automating faster than expected, displacing 85 million jobs in next five years
