Unemployment in india

Unemployment refers to a circumstance where people looking for jobs are

unable to get work. It ’is the condition of not being able to find sustainable
paid work. In other words, when skilled labor is left competing for jobs
because of less demand for labor or excess supply of labor, and a large
number fails to find suitable jobs, the economy can be said to be a state of
unemployment.
The number of people measures the rate of unemployment in a given country
are unable to secure jobs relative to the available people in the job market.
The common types of unemployment are Seasonal, Frictional, Cyclical as
well as Structural. India is one of the second largest countries in the world
in terms of population density. The rate of unemployment in the country is
very high owing to the many people who are unable to secure jobs.

Causes of unemployment in India

There are many causes of high unemployment in India among them;

 The decline in the operation of small cottage industries

 The country witnesses slow progress in terms of industrialization
Another issue is the defective education system. With a large population
with little education the level of skills is limited and then the strain on the
unskilled or less skilled labor. There are too many takers for jobs requiring
few skills. The education system of our country should be made need-based.
At present, every man and woman wants a job in offices. Our education
makes a student bookish. Schools and colleges are like factories. They
produce B.A.s, M.A.s and Ph.D.s. Even agriculture graduates want office
jobs in town. So the education of our country should be job-oriented. It must
make our students self-dependent.

 Similarly, the strain on agriculture is very high with a large population

depending on it for livelihood. The per capita productivity is very low.
Lastly, the migration to an urban center for non-agricultural jobs puts a
heavy strain on the urban infrastructure.
 The economic growth of the country is slow in comparison to western
countries
  The increase in population renders the available resources limited. The
population of India is very high resulting in an excessive supply of
labor. Although population is a socio-economic indicator, it is a
statistic that affects the economy adversely for the very same reason, e.
the lower socio-economic strata of the society demonstrate a higher
tendency towards population increase. Family Planning schemes
should be made popular. People should be educated about the
importance of a small family. This will help us solve the problem of
unemployment
Despite the country boasting of many qualified professionals in many areas
such as engineering and medicine, a large number of people are illiterate or
less educated. Many of them are unable to secure employment in well-
established organizations.

Conclusion

The society needs to take efforts to cut down on the population growth and to
provide education and training towards the sectors that have a high labor
quotient.
