UNEMPLOYMENT A SHORT ESSAY. IBPS PO MAIN
Short essay on The
Causes of Unemployment in India (free to read).
It is a pity to see a long queue of young
persons, who have devoted ten to sixteen precious years of their lives to their
studies standing before the Employment Exchange Office.
They are unemployed and
long to get a petty job to earn their bread. Is it not shocking and surprising
that the years they spent in getting education proved just a sheer waste of
time and made them idle gossipers, haters of physical labour and slaves of comforts?
We will not find
carpenters, shoemakers, tailors or even barbers in this queue of employment
searchers. This clearly shows the failure of modern educational system and
incompetence of our policy makers. So if we really want to solve the
unemployment problem, the educational system must be made job-oriented. Now our
country does not need only clerks. She is in need of persons who can serve her
by their physical and mental skills. There is urgent need of revolutionizing
the whole educational system so that it can cope with the new demands of our
free country.
Unemployment
means that while the people are willing to work, they have no work to do. The
most important reasons of India’s poverty and backwardness are her problem of
unemployment. The advancement in modern technology has invented such machines,
robots and computers, which can perform the work of thousands of persons alone.
These machines need only one or two operators and thus they snatch bread from
the hands of thousands of persons. So this type of technical advancement has
also aggravated the problem of unemployment. Our government should adopt
automation in such a prudent way that this problem can be solved.
Government
should give due importance to small scale industries, cottage industries, and
labour intensive industries. These industries must be given financial aid raw
material and sales facilities by the government. Unemployed persons should be
encouraged to get training concerning these industries.
The
increasing population growth is also one of the factors which is contributing
to unemployment problem. Mere development of the country cannot create so many
job opportunities as are required. We must try to decrease population growth by
propagating family planning programme. The peasants, workers and other classes
of the masses who are uneducated should be motivated to adopt family planning
methods. The villages should be made self-sufficient in their economy so that
growing population can get employment. This can be done by setting up
agro-industries in rural areas.
