Poverty and unemployment are major economic problems in India. Poverty can be absolute, where basic needs cannot be met, or relative, where income is lower than others in the society. Many government schemes aim to reduce poverty by increasing irrigation, providing insurance and stable pricing, and generating employment. Unemployment includes seasonal, frictional, structural, and other types. It affects the economy and individuals. The government implements various programs to generate self-employment and skills training to reduce unemployment.
