Subvarieties of general type on a general projective hypersurface

We study subvarieties of a general projective degree $d$ hypersurface $X_d\subset \mathbf{P}^n$. Our main theorem, which improves previous results of L. Ein and C. Voisin, implies in particular the following sharp corollary: any subvariety of a general hypersurface $X_{d}\subset {\mathbf P}^n$, for $n\geq 6$ and $d\geq 2n-2$, is of general type.
