Abstract: The article offers a holistic view of the challenge of unemployment and the use of education for employability skills as a measure to overcome it. It starts with the indication that the young generation is the most affected as a result of unemployment. This young generation, struggling for employment, may cause severe national unrest. The view presented here has been structured from the perspective of the NEP2020. It emphasizes the empowerment of the young ones through education for employability, which demands skills like innovation, transfer of learning, empathy, acceptance, etc., beyond the content knowledge required for a particular job.

Some general issues related to the theme of the article, like multiple entries and multiple exit option, skill development of people with disability, the effect of a financial crunch and change of social and personal attitude have entered into the purview of the article.
