The world's largest online professional network LinkedIn says professionals in India are confident about career progress despite growing uncertainties about the job market and financial future in the current environment. However, the index shows a dip in India's overall confidence as the composite score dropped from 58 in December 2020 to 54 in January 2021. While the job market looks bleak, entrepreneurship looked up for Indian professionals last year. The workforce confidence index shows that while India remains resilient, professionals from different generations have contrasting reasons to stay confident in these testing times. Besides, 80% of Gen Z professionals (born after 1997) say the likelihood of progressing their careers makes them more confident today.
