 1. Introduction: Investment and Employment Opportunities
Development in developing countries is generally focused on the economic development. This is
because economic development can support the achievement of objectives and encourage the
development of other fields. Economic development is also a multidimensional process that covers
the transformation process marked by changes in the economic structure and framework in the
economic structure of society (Todaro and Smith, 2003).

The process of economic development in a country naturally leads to equal opportunities for all
kinds of economic activities, including industries of all sizes. Small-scale industries, especially in
developing countries is often associated with problems of economic and social poverty,
unemployment, unequal distribution of income, the process of uneven development, and
urbanization. The existence or growth of the small-scale industry is expected to contribute positively
to the reduction efforts of these issues. One way to implement the overall economic development
and sustainable by increasing investment. Investments in essence are also the first step in economic
development.

Investment is an important factor for economic growth and development. Rizvi and Nishat (2009)
state that the very important and sensitive thing in developing countries is the foreign direct
investment (FDI). Currently the FDI not only the transfer of money but a combination of financial and
intangible assets such as technology, managerial ability, marketing skills and other assets.
Meanwhile Matthew and Johnson (2014) stated that on one side of FDI in a will add new resources
with regard to capital, technology, managerial capabilities and technical skills in the country
concerned, and another side foreign investment may as “imperialistic predators” that would exploit
the country and would make political and economic dependency.

Investment is a component of aggregate demand; investment also has a role in production capacity
in the economy. The amount of production capacity in the economy can be reflected by the many
businesses in the economy, both large-scale enterprises, medium scale, micro, and small-scale
enterprises. Pettinger (2017) stated that the investments affect economic growth, because
investment is a component of aggregate demand, and more importantly that the investment would
affect production capacity in the economy. Economic development in addition to addressing socio-
economic issues, as well as to improve the welfare of the community. The successful achievement of
the welfare state can be measured by the ability in solving various problems, including the problem
of employment. This is in line with one of the main objectives of development, namely the creation
of new jobs in sufficient quantity and quality to be able to absorb the additional labour force
continued to enter the labour market.

The number of workers absorbed by the economic sector can describe the absorptive capacity of
that sector of the workforce. Likewise, the small-scale industry in India, its existence has a strategic
role in the national economy that is as one important source for increasing employment
opportunities.
 2. Literature review

Economic development in addition to addressing socio-economic problems, as well as to improve

the welfare of the community. The successful achievement of the welfare state can be measured by
the ability in solving various problems, including the problem of employment. Employment is one
important factor in overcoming the problem of employment.

Employment is a fundamental aspect of human life, as it includes economic and social dimensions.
Employment is the number of people that can be accommodated to work in a business unit or job.
Employment will accommodate all workers when business units or jobs would be sufficient or
balanced with the number of the existing workforce.

Investment is an investment activity on a variety of economic activities (production) in the hope to

gain an advantage in the future. Investments, in essence, are also the first step in economic
development. Investment is an important factor for economic growth and development.

The economic theory stated that investment as expenditures for the purchase of capital goods and
production equipment for the purpose of replacing and especially add modal goods in the economy
that will be used to produce goods and services in the future.

Investment activity allows a society constantly increase economic activity and employment, increase
national income and improve the welfare of society. The role of such investments come from three
important functions of investment activity is the investment is one of the components of aggregate
expenditure so that the increase in investment will increase aggregate demand, national income,
and employment opportunities. Added capital goods as a result of the investment will increase
production capacity; Investment is always followed by the development of technology.

Investment has an important role in employment, because of the investments will create
employment opportunities, and in turn will be able to absorb the labor force. Dewi and Sutrisna
(2015) concluded that investment significantly and a positive effect on employment through
economic growth. The increase in employment is done by increasing investment in labor-intensive
industries. In line with these studies is Bustam (2016) found that the investments in micro, small and
medium enterprises have a significant effect on employment. Investment in the formal small
industry will increase the production process and make the production process requires human
labor, so the company will require additional manpower. This shows that the investment is an
important variable in increasing employment.

many companies are investing in many sectors and which will provide many job
opportunities and employment in Bikaner district. In this report, a pie chart has been
showed where no. of companies is investing in Bikaner in next financial year 2022-23.

player is already existing like Bikaji, Bhikamal Chandmal and Shri raam. But still there is huge
potential in Food and Agro processing. In this pie chart, it can be seen second highest no. of
companies are investing in Solar (4), mine & minerals (4) and Tourism sector (4). Solar has
huge potential in Bikaner due to available land bank and availability of solar radiance.

Micro, small and medium enterprises is a strategic sector and potential in India, so the
government is trying to continue to maintain its growth. Business operators choose the
micro, small and medium enterprises due to several reasons such as: Does not require
capital that is too large, the technology used is relatively simple, and in terms of labor
does not always require qualifications specific requirements such as level of education
and skills of workers so as to absorb the force working optimally.
The study indicates that investment has a significantly positive effect on employment in
the formal small industries in the Bikaner district. Labor in the formal small industry in
the district dominate the entire workforce is in formal small industries in Bikaner.

 Investment are playing important role in generating employment and export related
opportunities.
 Highest investment comes in solar energy, Food and Agro processing sector.
 Total investment of fifteen thousand crore and twenty thousand employment in
Bikaner.
 7. My Suggestions
Investment activity allows a society constantly increase economic activity and employment,
increase national income and improve the welfare of society. The role of such investments
come from three important functions of investment activity is the investment is one of the
components of aggregate expenditure so that the increase in investment will increase
aggregate demand, national income, and employment opportunities.
The changing nature of work, and developments in some sectors of the district and a
workforce with better efficiency and better skills have become a focal point for many
industries as they plan for their future. Asked what would help improve their business the
most over the next five years, a highly skilled and flexible workforce topped the list for a
majority of the sampled industries, ahead of other factors such as learning and
development, and aspirations for future growth.
Investment leads to generate employment. And this employment leads to new job
opportunities to different sector. While the government has already spent significant effort
and resources in skill development training, these recommendations highlight the efforts
that stakeholders should consider in skilling the workforce to meet future demands of a
skilled workforce, and to bridge current and future skill gaps.

Trending job sector with various new job opportunity, where DSC, SSDA, RSLDC and various
government can play important role:-
