Indian Youth and Unemployment

Indian Youth and Unemployment

-Rashmi

The Indian economy is considered to be one of the biggest market targeted by the industrialists and investors. However, it has been affected with the problem of unemployment and it is required to take necessary actions to get rid of this problem of unemployment. The number of jobs for the educated youth, is continuously decreasing and the trading activities are also reduced in the country. The investors are also started to stay far, due to lucrative investment opportunities in United States of America and China. In such circumstances, what should India do for its youth?

Problem of Unemployment in India:

The Indian Economy is one of the fastest growing economies of the world, therefore, ‘lack of economic growth’ cannot be the cause of unemployment. Yes, the other reason ‘lack of talent in youth’ can be the cause of unemployment in India. The emphasis of Government of India to impart skill education in youth and unemployed people; can change the whole situation and may help India to get rid of problem of unemployment. In India, most of the people who are counted as unemployed are also engaged in part-time jobs or businesses. There are very low number of people doing nothing except taking money from their parents to spend for meeting their financial requirements.

Expectations of Youth from Government:

Due to promises of political parties and rising economic growth of the nation, youth coming out from colleges, institutions and universities expect from Government a full-time employment either in public or private sector organizations. No doubt, Government has full potential to generate employment but there is another problem i.e. lack of skills or employ-ability skills in the youth. Most of the people are getting engaged in businesses of services than manufacturing firms. The production of goods is not generating more jobs than the service delivering companies. Due to rise in the demand of services relating to information technology, most of the jobs are related to information technology, and e-services relating to businesses, processes, and governance.

Pleasure from available Employment Opportunities:

The employment and jobs presently available to unemployed youth are not providing pleasant experiences. Due to rising expectations of the youth, the presently available employment opportunities are either offering less salary packages or demanding more time to spend in organizations. The work environment in private organizations has become more complicated than earlier. With change in organizational processes with ‘Business Process Restructuring (BPR)’ and ‘Government Process Re-engineering (GPR)’; the pleasure of employees reduced significantly. The expenses to maintain the job and status in society are increasing while the salaries are not increasing as per the work burden. Due to rise in the number of unemployed youth, there is more competition to realize the job.

Trouble due to low-quality jobs than qualifications:

We studied ‘dignity of labour’ and found that no work is smaller to earn living. But higher the qualifications, higher the level of jobs are searched by the unemployed youth. Due to more people being educated every year, the employment opportunities cannot be generated at higher levels; even the higher level posts require more experienced people to be employed. After completing the education, the unemployed youth search for the higher level of jobs while such jobs are rarely available; which make others unemployed. Now, a trouble comes while accepting low-quality jobs than the qualifications.
Due to this reason, most of the unemployed people, start giving coaching than accepting low-quality jobs. Those who accept low-quality jobs left after a few time.

Reservation in Jobs:

The talented people sometimes face the problem of reservations in jobs and due to such reservations; found themselves better to leave the country. They fly outside India and get employed in Multi-National Companies (MNCs) or even in Government of other nations at reputed posts. The reservation system in India, is a curse for the talented people at the time of getting educated and be employed. More than 50% of the jobs are reserved for the people from reserved castes and due to such reservations; they opt to leave the country by clearing IELT followed by seeking PR Visa.

 Remedies to the Economic Problem of Unemployment in India

1. Minimum Income or Unemployment Allowance:

The Government of India is committed to provide the jobs to each unemployed youth and in case, anyone remained without job with very less family income; the Government offers unemployment allowance till the time, the person not get employed. The Government ensures a minimum income for each family so that the problem of poverty can be tackled and people can easily live their life with meeting their basic needs. The farmers are struggling to earn reasonable incomes, then the Government is showing its commitment to double farmers’ income and also making it possible to reduce the economic inequalities in whole nation. 

2. Bridging gap by Skill Development Programmes:

The Singapore Government decided to run a number of programmes for workers to acquire new skills and find jobs. Around the world, the economists are suggesting to impart digital skills in employees as well as in unemployed youth, for improving their capacities in using data analytics. Even in India, the Government admitted that the retraining efforts are most important to reduce the skills gap. The problem of unemployment poses a challenge among most of the nations around the world. Both the developed and developing economies are facing unemployment; a few are facing this problem due to lack of economic growth while others are facing due to lack of talent in youth.

3. Encouraging Small Scale Industries and Start Ups:

However, Indian Government has taken initiatives for promoting Small Scale Industries and Start Ups but the Start Ups are not being successful due to Minimum Wages for a labourer is too high and in case, anyone is hired in India, the corruption due to various compliance of policies of Government put hurdles in the activities of the Small Scale Industries. For example, the minimum wages is Rs. 9,000 while the labourers being hired by the Small Scale Industries cannot contribute to that extent in terms of productivity due to lack of opportunities to the Small Scale Industries. This is a practical problem. Government should either decrease the minimum wages in case of Start Ups or provide subsidies to Start Ups to promote employment.

4. Public Sector Employment Opportunities should be increased:

When Government itself using disinvestment and selling its enterprises, how the confidence will come in the private players to run such enterprises. The ultimate result is that the private players also started to retrench the employees and take more work from the hired individuals with the use of technologies. The employment rate is continuously falling.
Government should set up new industries, new departments, new undertakings and own the responsibilities to provide the employment instead of encouraging private players to do so.

Conclusion:

There is a lot of things in the hands of Government to perform for increasing the employment in India. The Government can transform the entire picture. The excess use of technology even imported technical gadgets, machineries are replacing the manpower which is not suitable for India, one of the most populated country. The manpower should be available at cheaper rates by reducing the minimum wages so that the private organizations prefer to employ than to use mechanical solutions to speed up production. It is true, "Self Motivation to perform better than yesterday, is the key to success"
