UNEMPLOYMENT IN INDIA

Unemployment is a very serious issue not only in India but in the whole world. There are hundreds and thousands of people out, who do not have employment. Besides, the problems of unemployment are very severe in India because of the growing population and demand for jobs.

The unemployment rate in India rose to 7.2 percent in recent years, according to latest data completed by the centre for monitoring Indian Economy

Unemployment is when a person who actually searching for employment and unable to find work. Most of the unemployment is due to lack of education. The most frequent measures of unemployment is the unemployment rate, which is the number of unemployment people divided by the number of people in the labour force.

There are different types of unemployment in India

Disguised unemployment which traced in agricultural and the unorganised sectors in India. There are number of people who do farming but still there is no growth. They die each day because of hunger. This is because of proper facilities. Many farmers stop working because there is no proper income and growth.

Even if there is education, but because of recommendations and because of many factors who are really worth, they are not getting any jobs. In 2016, world bank data predicted that the proportion of jobs threated by automation in India is 69% year-on-year. If this is the case most of the software employees loose their jobs. Because of large population in India, it is difficult for government to provide jobs.

The syllabus that is taught in schools and colleges, being not as per the current requirements of the industries. This is the main cause of unemployment. Still women are facing issues in India for education most women are unemployed.

There are many impacts in unemployment.

This gives rise to the problem of poverty. Young people after a long time of unemployment indulge in illegal and wrong activities for earning money. This leads to increase in crime in the country. It is often seen that employment people and end up getting addicted to drugs and alcohol or attempts suicides, leading losses to the human resources of the country.

If things will go on like the current scenario, then unemployment will become a major issue. Apart from this, the following things happen in an economy which is an increase in poverty, an increase in crime rate, exploitation of labour, political instability, mental health, and loss of skills. As a result, all this will eventually lead to the demise of the nation.

What I feel that it also affects Indian economy of the country as the workforce that could have been gainfully employees to generate resources actually gets dependent on the remaining working population.

India is one of those ill-fated underdeveloped countries which are suffering from a huge unemployment problem. But the unemployment problem in India is not the result of deficiency of effective demand in Keynesian term but a product of shortage of capital equipment’s and other complementary resources accompanied by high rate of growth of population.

To conclude, we can say that the problem of unemployment in India has reached a critical stage. But, now the government and local authorities have taken the problem seriously and working on it to reduce unemployment. Also, to completely solve the issue of unemployment we have to tackle the main issue of unemployment that is the vast population of India.

Air Pollution

Earlier the air we breathed in, used to be pure and fresh. But, due to increasing industrialization and concentration of poisonous gases in the environment, the air is getting more and more toxic day by day. Also, these gases are the cause of many respiratory and other diseases. Moreover, the rapidly increasing human activities like the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation is the major cause of air pollution.

The fossil fuel, firewood, and other things that we burn, produce oxides of carbons which got released into the atmosphere. Earlier, there happened to be a large number of trees which can easily filter the air we breathed in. But, with the increase in demand for land, the people started cutting down trees which caused deforestation. That ultimately reduced the filtering capacity of the tree.

Moreover, during the last few decades, the numbers of fossil fuel burning vehicle increased rapidly which increased the number of pollutants in the air. Its causes include burning of fossil fuel and firewood, smoke released from factories, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, bombardment, asteroids, CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons), carbon oxides and many more. Besides, there are some other air pollutants like industrial waste, agricultural waste, power plants, thermal nuclear plants, etc.

Polluted air is costing us lives Minimize air pollution from cars. Walk, bike or use public transportation. Save energy. Maintain your wood stove or fireplace. Recycle & buy recycled products. Consume less & choose sustainable products. Eat local, organic produce & less meat. Grow your own food.
