MY DREAM JOB

“Do something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else." The line of Franklin Roosevelt hits accurately on our generation. Here, the situation is not about thoughts, quotes or above lines, question is about doing something.

Jokes over when unemployment create hurdles in our generation, then its workless ness feeling drive every unemployed individual to the situation where it leads to no way.

Unemployment can be defined as a state of workless ness for a man fit and willing to work. It is a condition of involuntary and not voluntary idleness.

The incidence of unemployment is much higher in urban areas than in rural areas. 
Unemployment rates for women are higher than those for men. The incidence of unemployment among the educated is much higher than the overall unemployment. There is greater unemployment in agricultural sector than in industrial and other major sectors. Above were the facts of the victims.

The problem of unemployment has becoming a colossal. Various problems have caused this problem. There are individual factors like age, vocational unfitness and physical disabilities, which restrict the people. External factors include technological and economic factors. There is enormous increase in the population. Every year India adds to her population afresh. More than this every year about 5 million people become eligible for securing jobs. Business field is subject to ups and downs of trade cycle and globalization. Economic depression or sick industries are often close down compelling their employees to become unemployed. Technological advancement contributes to economic development. 

Historically, from 1983 until 2011, India Unemployment Rate averaged 7.6 Percent reaching an all time high of 9.4 Percent in December of 2009 and a record low of 3.8 Percent in December of 2011. In India, the unemployment rate measures the number of people actively looking for a job as a percentage of the labor force.

 The unplanned and uncontrolled growth of technology is causing destruction on job opportunities. The computerization and automation has led to technological unemployment. Strikes and lockouts have become inseparable aspect of the industrial world today. Due to these industries often face economic loses and production comes slows. Since workers do not get any salary or wages during the strike period they suffer from economic hardships. They become permanently or temporarily unemployed. 

But rising youth unemployment in a country that is expected to reap the demographic dividend is a concern. The latest government survey shows there has been a drop in the labor force participation rates – as in, those who are willing to work – among the youth. Many young people are delaying their entry into the workforce, partly because they are extending their years of education. This at least is positive as it indicates a higher degree of skill formation in the young labor force.

Even our education does not prepare the minds of young generation to become self-employed on the contrary it makes them dependent on government vacancies, which are hard to come. Our State right from the beginning of Five year plans has introduced several employment generating schemes and programmes over the years but in the absence of proper implementation and monitoring have failed to achieve the required targets.

The corrective measures for reducing unemployment can put greater emphasis on creation of opportunities for self -employment, growth of productivity and income levels of the working poor, shift in emphasis from creation of aid type of employment to the building up of durable productive assets in the rural areas and instead of attempting to revert somewhat to protectionist policies. The pace of privatization may be speed up.
