The article highlights that by the age of 30, more than four out of five Indian men are married. However, male employment in the formal sector, characterised by a written job contract and social security benefits, saturates around the ages of 27-28 years. A vast majority of army candidates would be aware that their chances of getting a formal sector job when their four-year army contract expires are very low. Even for those who were in regular-wage employment, the average salary was around Rs 11,000 per month at age 27-28 years in 2019-20, compared to the monthly take-home starting salary of Rs 21,000 under the Agnipath scheme at a much younger age.
