From Quartz,

These numbers also mask the large number of underemployed people. In countries like India, where education has boomed in the last few decades, there are now more people with degrees than there are jobs for them.

According to Craig Jeffrey, professor of development geography at the University of Oxford, India has a whole class of educated people just passing the time. And, he writes in The Conversation, this is not just the case for India. Other Asian countries, Latin America, Africa and many European countries have such a group, too.

You either are in the Robot factory programming or do something Robots can not easily copy (Everything non routine & with a physical/coordination component)
