Should India focus on manufacturing rather than services to create jobs?
Millions of young Indians enter the workforce every year. Should the country try to become a factory hub, or double down on IT and services?
The case for
Factories can employ large numbers of people without college degrees.
A strong manufacturing base builds exports, supply chains and self-reliance.
The case against
Services are already India's strength and can grow quickly.
Modern factories are increasingly automated, so they create fewer jobs than they used to.
