Dr. Bibek Debroy, Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), has released the State of Inequality in India Report.

• The report was written by the Institute for Competitiveness and it provides a comprehensive analysis of the depth and nature of inequality in India. The report compiles data on inequality in the health, education, household characteristics, and labour market sectors. It’s an assessment of both inclusion and exclusion.
• Inequities in these sectors, according to the report, make the population more vulnerable and lead to multidimensional poverty. India’s unemployment rate is 4.8 % in 2019-20, with a 46.8 % worker population ratio.
