Question

2. These days young boys and girls are getting attracted towards call centre jobs offered by
multinational companies. These jobs offer attractive pay packages but at the same time
pose a lot of health problem too. On the occasion of World Health Day, prepare a report
for your school magazine in 150-200 words on the topic, “Youth Employment- A Health
Hazard”.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Call center sector in India is a relatively new industry and one of the fastest growing sectors driving employment and growth in modern India today. While employment in the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector has meant that young adults are reaching their career milestones and financial goals much earlier than before, surveys and anecdotal evidence show that workers in the BPO sector experience high levels of stress and its related disorders, primarily due to its contemporary work settings. Safeguarding the health of youngsters employed in this new, growing economy becomes an occupational health challenge to public health specialists.
