Such people are perpetually unemployed and keep trying for government jobs year after year, until they make it or until they hit the age limit and can no longer try. They probably don't work in the public sector as they don't have the requisite skill set. We complain about NLUs, but the colleges these people went to are literally cowsheds. Their degrees are just useless pieces of paper (typically in subjects like history or pol science). These are the people you see in random street protests in Delhi, supporting whichever political party pays them on that day or gives them a free burger. Some of them try to migrate illegally to first world countries, giving human traffickers their life savings.
This is the story of 70% of Indian youth. Of the 30% who are employed, many do mechanical jobs and will soon be replaced by tech. So this talk of a "demographic dividend" is nonsense. So what should the government do with this big chunk of unproductive, unemployed youth? Universal basic income? Draft them in the army?
