Job Description - Economist, Remote/Delhi

Role: Economist
Education: Masters or PhD in Economics 
Experience: 8-12 years 
Salary: 12-24 LPA
___________________________________-

About The Role

The org study youth opportunity in India. We need an economist who can make sure everything we publish is analytically sound- and who genuinely understands India's employment debates.

What You'll Do

  • Keep our methodology defensible- indicator selection, weighting, how we aggregate data
  • Track and engage with core debates: services vs manufacturing, AI and jobs, skills mismatch, informalization
  • Work with government databases — PLFS, Census, ASI, ASUSE
  • Write policy explainers and commentary grounded in data
  • Write Python/R/Stata scripts to generate and update our YouthPOWER index scores
  • Ask the hard question on every output: "Can we actually say this based on our data?"

Who You Are

  • PhD or strong Masters in Economics (development or labour preferred)
  • You know India's employment landscape — not just from papers but from data
  • You've worked with Indian administrative data and know its limitations
  • You code cleanly and make defensible choices with messy data
  • You can translate rigorous analysis into something a policymaker can read

Good to Have

  • Familiarity with district-level governance and pilots
  • Experience with global youth development frameworks or capability indices

If you find yourself fact-checking employment statistics in casual conversation, this role is for you.
