This paper draws on ethnographic material to analyse how unemployed youth create work in the private educational sector. It shows how a set of educated young men, who moved from rural areas to a north Indian city to find work, are seeking to create jobs after an extended period of unemployment. Having attended coaching clinics and private tuition centres to prepare for white‐collar jobs, they draw on the experience, knowledge, and skills they have gained to create work in those same institutions. They do so by running errands and creating services for institutions, as well as undertaking administrative duties and teaching classes. Our main argument is that young men creatively engage with notions of enterprise to make an income and acquire a measure of respect. Studies of enterprise culture and neoliberal subjectivity formation often emphasise how individuals shore up their own value by competing with others and promoting their own interests. But we highlight how youth also maintain their value by making sense of their strategies in terms of assisting other young people. At the same time, however, their practises work to reproduce gender norms and class inequalities.

在新自由主义印度的失业和企业之间:受过教育的年轻人在私立教育部门创造工作

本文利用人种学材料来分析失业青年如何在私营教育部门创造工作。它显示了一群受过教育的年轻人,他们从农村地区搬到印度北部城市找工作,是在长期失业之后寻求创造工作的。他们参加过教练诊所和私人补习中心,为白领工作做准备,他们利用在这些机构中从事工作所获得的经验,知识和技能。他们通过办事,为机构提供服务以及承担行政职责和教学班来做到这一点。我们的主要论点是,年轻人创造性地参与企业观念以赚取收入并获得一定程度的尊重。对企业文化和新自由主义主体形成的研究经常强调个人如何通过与他人竞争和提升自己的利益来支撑自己的价值。但是,我们强调了青年人如何通过在帮助其他年轻人方面的策略来保持自己的价值。但是,与此同时,他们的做法却在重现性别规范和阶级不平等。
