India: growth without jobs

One million new workers enter India's job market every month. More than 80 percent of the economy is informal, meaning people work without contracts, minimum wages or any rights.

Despite being one of the fastest growing economies in the world, India's stellar growth isn't lessening its problem with unemployment and underemployment. With a rapidly growing young population and people hungry to join the ranks of global consumers, Anu Anand presents a special programme from Dehli with Sabina Dewan, president of Just Jobs, and Goutum Das, senior editor at Business Today, looking at what steps the world's biggest democracy can take to balance its growth with job creation.
