Abstract :
This study is a theoretical framework of
reference on the model of sustainable development
through youth engagement in tea gardens of Assam. In
recent years, youth engagement has been recognized as a
major concern in developing the status of youth. They
have been discriminated against in all aspects like social,
political, economic, education, access to rights, health, etc.
In Assam's tea estates, young people are the main labour
supply and support in creation of space in the local tea
industry. In Assam's tea sector, young employees
constitute the most probable labor force. Youth initiatives
may assist to reduce gender-based violence by ensuring
that young people have access to correct information
about the issue and advocating for changes in laws and
policies. Inequality between men and women extends to
unequal job mobility, wage rates, occupational and social
status in almost every walk of life. Education, growing
unemployment, and socio-economic backwardness are the
most pressing challenges that may provide a healthy
working environment for Assam's tea fields. Youth are
socialized in such a way that social institutions force them
to accept their exploitation. Because of this, young people
are needed to witness a change in tea gardens. This
necessitates the exercise of some authority. According to
this study, Assam's young labourers are socioeconomically underdeveloped.
