From academic success to social skills, mental health and future jobs, the coronavirus pandemic is a crisis for today鈥檚 youth. And the fallout may follow them for a much longer time than most imagine.

According to a recent study by the United Nations, the pandemic has already forced more than one in six people under the age of 29 into unemployment.

So what happens to a country like India, where half the population is under the age of 24? Is continued social isolation affecting their mental health? How are they coping with uncertainty about the future, and what are their aspirations?

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss how the pandemic is shaping the lives of young Indians.
