Why is there so much unemployment in the country
Few great Indian leaders are talking about the $5
trillion economy by 2024, India is facing its worst employment rates in the
last 45 years.
What is so much in
these unemployment numbers that leaders promise to eliminate this and
opposition parties howl and cry over it? What does it mean by a 6.1%
unemployment rate in India, the historic unemployment since 1977?
With the major part of
India in the era of demographic dividend, this piece will talk about the
technical aspects of unemployment
The
country's leaders take votes to innocent young people with false promises, but
their lies force these innocent youths to commit suicide.
Every hour
one student commits suicide in India, with about
28 such suicides reported every day,
according to data compiled by the National Crime Records
Bureau (NCRB). The NCRB data shows that 10,159 students died by suicide in
2018, an increase from 9,905 in 2017, and 9,478 in 2016.
A lot of agencies in India come up with figures
in their way. National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), Employment Exchanges,
Labour Bureau, and Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) are some
government-authorized agencies.
Different yardsticks are used to classify
unemployed people. One that counts for chronic unemployment is called as 'Usual
Status.' A person's usual status is considered as unemployed if he stays
without work for more than 182 days in one year. However, this gives the lowest
figure because poor people cannot afford to stay unemployed for a long time.
Therefore, they pick up any kind of job they get, no matter how less it pays
than the previous one.
Unemployment affects not only the earnings of the people, but it
is also a social problem. More unemployment would mean people might take up
criminal activities to satiate their basic needs. These men can be lured to be
a social menace. Unemployment is a waste of potential human resources. That is
why these numbers embarrass the government, and they allegedly delayed the
publishing of the numbers until the Lok Sabha elections were completed.
It is horrifying that in Uttar Pradesh, Graduates to Ph.D.
applied for the job of a peon! The Labour Minister said in Parliament that only
21% of college graduates are employable. This is appalling for a nation that
boasts the biggest pool of labor force.
