The economic transformation of India is one of the great business stories of our time. As stifling
government regulations have been lifted, entrepreneurship has flourished, and the country has
become a high-powered center for information technology and pharmaceuticals. Indian
companies like Infosys and Wipro are powerful global players, while Western firms like G.E. and
I.B.M. now have major research facilities in India employing thousands. India's seemingly
endless flow of young, motivated engineers, scientists, and managers offering developed-world
skills at developing-world wages is held to be putting American jobs at risk, and the country is
frequently heralded as the next economic superpower.

But India has run into a surprising hitch on its way to superpower status: its
inexhaustible supply of workers is becoming exhausted. Although India has one of the youngest
workforce on the planet, the head of Infosys said recently that there was an acute shortage of
skilled manpower, and a study by Hewitt Associates projects that this year salaries for skilled
workers will rise fourteen and a half per cent, a sure sign that demand for skilled labor is
outstripping supply.

How is this possible in a country that every year produces two and a half million college
graduates and four hundred thousand engineers? Start with the fact that just ten per cent of
Indians get any kind of post-secondary education, compared with some fifty per cent who do in
the U.S. Moreover, of that ten per cent, the vast majority go to one of India's seventeen
thousand colleges, many of which are closer to community colleges than to four-year
institutions. India does have more than three hundred universities, but a recent survey by the
London Times Higher Education Supplement put only two of them among the top hundred in the
world. Many Indian graduates therefore enter the workforce with a low level of skills. A current
study led by Vivek Wadhwa, of Duke University, has found that if you define 'engineer' by U.S.
standards, India produces just a hundred and seventy thousand engineers a year, not four
hundred thousand. Infosys says that, of 1.3 million applicants for jobs last year, it found only
two per cent acceptable.

India has taken tentative steps to remedy its skills famine the current government has
made noises about doubling spending on education, and a host of new colleges and universities
have sprung up since the mid-nineties. But India's impressive economic performance has made
the problem seem less urgent than it actually is, and allowed the government to defer difficult
choices. (In a country where more than three hundred million people live on a dollar a day,
producing college graduates can seem like a low priority.) Ultimately, the Indian government has
to pull off a very tough trick, making serious changes at a time when things seem to be going
very well. It needs, in other words, a clear sense of everything that can still go wrong. The
paradox of the Indian economy today is that the more certain its glowing future seems to be,
the less likely that future becomes.
