___________________________________________________________________________

The problem of unemployment is a serious problem in our country. If millions of people are
without any jobs, its effect is very bad. A man without any employment is a burden on
others. If he has got to maintain a family, the situation is worse. Such unemployed persons
are reduced to poverty. It demoralises them and they are forced to do undesirable things.
They may commit crimes. They may create trouble and spread discontent. In fact, they are a
source of danger to society and the state.

The causes of unemployment are mainly the rapid growth of population, the prevailing
system and under¬ development of industry and trade. The population of India is growing
very rapidly. It is very difficult to get jobs for all who are in need of it. The British
Government had introduced a system of education in this country for carrying on
administration only. It is being continued in free India also with very slight changes. The
system of education prepares most young men to be clerks. But neither the Government
nor private firms can absorb all the educated unemployed persons in their offices for clerical
work. Industry and trade have not yet properly developed.

Cottage industries in the villages have been ruined owing to the establishment of large mills
and factories in towns. Consequently, many artisans have been thrown out of employment.
There has been great pressure on agricultural land because of the growth of population;
consequently, many cultivators have got no land for cultivation. All these are mainly
responsible for this acute problem of unemployment.

The acute problem of unemployment is a cause of unrest in the country. So the Government
is seriously thinking over the matter and trying to find out a remedy. The remedy is to find
work for the people. The Government had earlier undertaken five-year plans for the
material prosperity of the country. For carrying out these plans many mills and factories had
been set up both by the Government and by industrialists. Many new offices had been
started. Many educated young men were absorbed in offices as clerks and in mills and
factories as skilled workers. Uneducated and unskilled men were being absorbed in mills
and factories as labourers. But these measures have been proved inadequate.
Our government is now encouraging the revival of cottage industries in the villages. This will
help many villagers to earn a living. Our Government is also trying to develop agriculture.
But as yet, it has not been able to cope with the situation fully. The number of unemployed
persons is increasing. So our Government should allow establishment of a large number of
large and small technical and vocational institutions in the country. Only a limited number of
bright young men should try to get higher education in the universities. Most young men try
to enter technical or vocational institutions.

After coming out of these, they may find jobs in factories and commercial firms. For this, of
course, more factories must be set up throughout the country. Unskilled labourers should
be taught various traits in technical institutes. They may find jobs in factories as skilled
labourers. They may also set up cottage industries in their villages. Government will have to
help them with loans to start their work. It is heartening to find that our Government has
already taken some steps in this direction. Nationalised banks are now giving lump sum
loans to intending young persons under self employment schemes.

Answer:
The consequences of unemployment are a serious problem in India. It is causing poverty,
low morale, high crime rate and discontent in the population. The causes of unemployment
are rapid growth of population, the prevailing system of education which prepares young
people to be clerks, and underdevelopment of industry and trade. The remedy is that, the
role of Government should change: it should follow up the 5-yr plans by setting up many
factories to create more job opportunities. It should allow vocational and technical
institutions to open to help the unskilled become skilled. Government should revive cottage
industries by giving loans for self-employment.
