Educated unemployment

1. EDUCATED UNEMPLOYMENT

2. CAUSES

3. Defective education system : India is an agricultural country . More than 50% of Indians live in villages and main source of living hood is cultivation . A cultivator’s son having university degree never prefers his father’s profession. He would prefer clerical post . This made our countries unemployment problem more acute. University education system does not cater to the needs of these students. It should give stress to latest methods of cultivation and farm managing. The number of agricultural colleges are less , ordinary peasants can not afford to get their son’s education

4. Lack of industrial and technical training: One of the major cause of mass-unemployment among educated men in India. There are only few governmental technical and engineering institutions in the country. Technical education is very costly that common people can not afford to get their wards admitted there. Same in the case of private institutions and also they may ne in the second position in the case of placement when compared to the passouts from governmental institutions.

5. With the operation of our Five-year plan there is a substantial need of technically-trained young men . But the newly sprung-up industries can not offer employment to non-technically educated youth. Lack of network of cottage industries : India is an agricultural country and villages are the economic source . The development of cottage industries can absorb our millions of unemployed educational youth. Mentality : Majority of our youth dream for white collar jobs and a high profile settlment .

6. After receiving education in cities and towns they prefer to stay there itself than settling down in their village and do their ancestral work . This mentality of our educated young men must be changed . They should be made to believe that every labour has its own dignity. Visa restriction imposed by the developed countries . As USA, Britain, Germany etc., are developed countries , some of our educated unemployed are prepared to seek jobs there.

7. But visa restrictions imposed by most of the developed countries have further worsened the employment opportunities for the educated people. Skill mismatch : People does not have the skills that are require for the business. Similarly some people who have advanced degree find themselves overqualified for their jobs. Some qualified people work for fewer hours than they would prefer. Young people are not allowed to work to their f ull potential .

8. Lack of access to capital : Young people who want to make their own jobs by starting a new business often struggle to find access to afford loans . High interest rates make it difficult for young people to repay their loans on time. A digital divide : Job market is mainly concentrated in the digital sector. In some low income countries , there is a lack of access to technology or the internet.

9. Disloyalty under educated system: Most of the educated people are knocking the doors of government or commercial offices for the post of petty clerks . Population and migration: Uncontrolled population growth and migration of foreign job seekers in the country. Economic condition : Educated people demands salary according to their skill but due to weak economic conditions the companies could not afford that. Once a company fails to pay its employers. They have to leave jobs .

10. Nepotism : The authority shows a personal bias to people in their own relations or to the friends and denay the opportunity to those who are qualified for the post. Thus our educated youth get unemployed and it will be offered to the undeserved ones.

11. EFFECTS

12. In despair , the young men may take the law in to hand . They may engage in many criminal activities . Standard of living becomes low . Sharp increase in poverty rate and low standard of public health . Causes economic imbalance of the country. Develop depression among youth. Poor people can not manage the rising cost of basic necessities.

13. REMEDIES

14. Population explosion is a major cause. People should be made aware of the benefits of population control. Government should open more training centers for vocational education . Young men with special training from these centers can easily fit in any industrial undertaking. The government should try for rapid industrialization in under industrialized regions of the country. Village and cottage industries should be developed. If village become sufficient in their economy the villagers would not run to the cities in search of job.

15. Rural people should be taught better methods of agriculture . Loan facilities for unemployed youth so that they can setup small industries. Skills should be taught from high school education. Career guidance. Development of rural areas prevent migration of rural people to urban area. Government should allow more foreign companies to open their unit in India , so that more employment opportunities will be available.
