causes of unemployment
Answers
A few of the major causes for unemployment in India are:
Poverty
Caste System
Large population.
Lack of vocational skills or low educational levels of the working population.
Labour-intensive sectors suffering from the slowdown in private investment particularly after demonetisation
The low productivity in the agriculture sector plus the lack of alternative opportunities for agricultural workers that makes transition among the three sectors difficult.
Legal complexities, Inadequate state support, low infrastructural, financial and market linkages to small businesses making such enterprises unviable with cost and compliance overruns.
Inadequate growth of infrastructure and low investments in the manufacturing sector, hence restricting the employment potential of the secondary sector.
The huge workforce of the country is associated with the informal sector because of a lack of required education or skills, and this data is not captured in employment statistics.
The main cause of structural unemployment is the education provided in schools and colleges are not as per the current requirements of the industries.
Regressive social norms that deter women from taking/continuing employment.
