True. Unemployment is the starting point of many evils. Some succumb to it and think of resorting to drastic actions out of frustration. In fact this is the factor the terrorist and extremist groups are utilizing in recruiting them for their outfits.

On one side the figures of unemployed youth is such staggering in proportions and on the other side we keep reading how hundreds of thousands of job vacancies remain vacant in various sectors, either because of reservation or because the candidates who turn up for those jobs are unqualified or do not possess talent! Is there any solution to lessen the gap between these two?

Another important factor that "Unemployment" silently contributes and escapes from the view of our planners is, " Mass exodus" of the migrant labour to the cities in search of livelihood. Mass exodus adds more problems to the cities. Unauthorised occupation of land and subsequent sprouting of innumerable Slums.

Migration to cities happens because of lack of facilities in the villages. If the government provides the basic infra structure without destroying the eco balance I am sure the villagers woyuld be happy to remain where they are cultivating their land and contributing to the economy..[/quote


True. For the same reason many family professions are disappearing. Tanjore paintings, Kalankari Paintings gone in to oblivion due to lack of Governmental support and lack of infra structure. Had these professions are alive, no migration takes place in search of livelihood.

Indeed there is acute unemployment problem. There is also disguised unemployment. Many are employed in jobs much inferior to their qualification and capacity.
