REGIONAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG COMMERCE STUDENTS IN THE PANVEL REGION

Unemployment among commerce students is a pressing issue,  particularly in semi-urban areas like Panvel. This study explores the regional and  demographic factors influencing unemployment, focusing on variables such as  socio-economic background, gender, and access to resources. The research adopts  a mixed-method approach, combining surveys and statistical analysis to identify  challenges faced by commerce students in transitioning from education to  employment. Key findings reveal a significant mismatch between academic  curricula and industry demands, alongside disparities caused by socio-economic  and gender-based barriers. The study concludes by recommending targeted  interventions, including skill-based education, career counseling, and industry academia collaborations, to bridge the gap and enhance employability among  commerce students in the Panvel region.
