Some  problems due to unemployment among educated are:
1-Education in India does not provide enough opportunity for utilization of their talent.
2-It also puts a question mark on the education system in India that it is not able to produce employable human resource in the economy.
3-It also causes the skilled labour to leave the country and join employment in developed country which results in the outflow of domestic talent in a foreign country

2-Our education system should not produce jacks of all trade but master of none .the education system must be job oriented and need based.there should be general education up to secondary level.after that various educational streams with practical training should be introduced. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Causes of unemployment in India are as follows -

Explanation:

(i) High population pressure

Continuous growth in population at a fast pace implies a growing supply of labour force. As the maximum portion of the Indian population lives in rural areas, this pressure has been relatively more in rural areas. This excess supply of the labour force is the principal reason for the growing unemployment problem.

(ii) Slow growth rate of different sectors

The Indian economy was unable to grow at a pace commensurate with the continuous growth if labour force in the agricultural, industrial and service sectors. Hence, sufficient employment opportunities could not be created in these sectors.

(iii) Rural-urban migration

Inadequate employment opportunities in rural areas and relatively higher wages rates in urban areas have led to a large scale migration of rural workers to urban areas. This is an important cause of urban unemployment in India.

(iv) Faulty educational system

The educational system in India does not give proper emphasis on the expansion of vocational and technical education. This is responsible for the growing problem of urban unemploymant.
