The Problem Of Unemployment
Our Democratic system enshrines that every citizen should be given employment according to his taste and talent and be provided the basic condition of living. but we find that millions of the educated Peoples are unemployed.The educated and well - trained people are roaming in the streets in search of jobs. The unemployed people exceeds 200 millions.
Tragic Effects Of Unemployment:
Unemployment encourages dishonesty and patronizes corruption. An unemploymed man, loses confidence in himself., falls a victim to frustration and develops an inferiority complex. The fire of stomach can lead him to crime and corruption. He cannot maintain his dignity and self-respect. Thus unemployment is a great menace to nation's progress. It has forced some of the most talented Indian scientists to migrate to some foreign countries. it is responsible for our poor living standards and undernourishment of our children.
Different Types Of Unemployment:
Unemployment, in India, is of varying kinds and degrees. A large number of people are completely jobless. The registers of Employment Exchange tell us that every year 7,00,000 graduates are thrown in the unemployment market. They pass from street to street knocking at various offices from dawn to duskin search of petty jobs. but wherever they go, they are faced with the 'no vacancy' boards. Most of the people in this category are educated and belongs to urban areas. Only few of them get employed or accomodate themselves to the jobs not up to their liking.Not only the educated but also the uneducated people are unemployed. Its main reason is the fragmentation of land and application of machines in farms and factories. A large number of people with good and high qualifications are forced to accept jobs not compatible with their talent and calibre. Since they are not considered to be unemployed, accurate status in their case cannot be made available.
Causes Of Unemployment:
Many factor are responsible for accentuating this problem. The main cause of this problem is over population of the country. the present population of India is more than 85 crores and it is still increasing at an alarming rate. Whatever is achieved in terms of additional jobs is set to nought by freshhands seeking employment. Secondly, India is still an underdeveloped country. India is rich in natural resources, but they need exploitation. Thirdly, lack of technical education and vocational guidance along with a distaste for mannual labour is responsible for unemployement among the educated people. The defective system of education is responsible for such unemployment. Another cause is defective and old economic set-up of our country. The backwardness of our country is science, technology and industrial development is another cause of unemployment. Strike or lockout in mills and factories and natural diasters like flood., draught or warare other cause of unemployment.
Solution Of The Problem:
The solution of this problem lies in an equitable social order. The planners should draw real and concrete develeoped plans to absorb the educated youth of our country. Secondly, our education must be vocational and should be made job-oriented.. our own worker should be engaged in place of foreign technicians. Small-Scale Industries can play a vital role in removingunemployment. The government should provide credit facilities on easy terms., procure raw materials and offer marketting facilities to make small - scale industries a success. The growth of population should be effectively controlled. Attitude of people should also be changed. The upper-class people should be ready to work as tailors,weavers,cobblers etc. caste and creed should not be associated with work and means of livelihood. Reservation to certain percentage of jobs for the scheduled castes and schediled tribes should be ended.
Nobody can wuestion The stupendous nature of the problem of unemployment. Our government cannot shirk her duty of providing employment to every citizen. It is happy sign that our government has begun paying quick attention to this serious problem. it is expected that in the seventh five - year plan, there would be wmployment to several million people. our government is going to have some labour-intensive schemes, but for quick results, a bolder and healthier policy is needed. Young men should be inspired to initiate self-employment.
