Big Spending, Few Jobs: The Employment Paradox in Budget 2026.
The Quint, New Delhi.
Abstract
The Union Budget 2026–27 boosts capital expenditure but compresses social spending, with a focus on infrastructure and asset creation rather than broad employment. Private investment remains weak and labour absorption is low, raising concerns about jobless growth. Deepanshu Mohan asks: Can India’s CapEx-led push create jobs for its growing workforce?
