As per NSSO data, in 2011-12, the rate of unemployment among rural young male graduates was 19 percent and for young rural female graduates was nearly 30 percent. In contrast to this, only about 3-6 percent of primary-level educated youth in rural areas were unemployed. What does this show?

When compared to less educated, a large proportion of educated persons are unemployed.

The data shows that a higher proportion of young rural graduates (especially females) are unemployed compared to those with primary-level education. This suggests that despite higher education, finding suitable employment in rural areas can be challenging, especially for women.
