Essay On THE PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYMENT

Introduction

India is facing many problems. One of them is the problem of unemployment. This problem is very serious. It is increasing very rapidly. The demon of unemployment is threatening our peace and prosperity.

Meaning of unemployment

Unemployment means lack of work for those persons who are willing to work. Some people have compulsory leisure. There are two categories of unemployed persons-1. uneducated persons and 2. educated persons. Unemployment among the educated people is increasing. Besides unemployment, there is under employment also. Under employment means insufficient employment. For example, a farmer is under-employed because he does not have work for the whole year.

Reasons responsible for unemployment

There are many reasons responsible for unemployment. First, there is rapid increase in the population. Secondly, our cottage industries are nearly destroyed. Workers employed in cottage industries are out of jobs. Thirdly, the educational system is defective. It produces only clerks who hate manual labour. Fourthly, our government can not give jobs to all educated persons.

Measures to be adopted

It is necessary to take immediate effective steps. The outlook of young boys and girls is to be changed. For this purpose, the educational system is to be changed completely. The students should be taught the importance of labour. They must know that manual labour has its own honour. They must be attracted to cottage industries.

Cottage and small scale industries should be encouraged. Money should be given to villagers on nominal interest to run cottage industries. Import of foreign goods should be stopped. Unemployment among the educated persons should be reduced. Only quite intelligent students should be given chance for higher studies. For the rest there should be technical and vocational training. Such educated students will be easily absorbed in factories and industries.

Steps taken by government

The government has taken some steps to solve this problem. Technical and vocational education is being given in schools. Family planning is encouraged among the young men and women to control population. Multi-purpose projects are increasing rapidly. Cottage industries are being established in rural and urban areas. Employment exchanges have been established in the big cities.
