b. Vocational unfitness:
Many young people have no understanding of their own abilities or interests and have no particular task in mind when they have to get their training. Willingness to do anything may seem to indicate a worthy desire on the part of the person seeking work. Employers, on the other hand, may seek qualified and competent trained workers.

The problem of unemployment that exists in India is an outcome of several cumulative factors such as the British rule and its policies, the Zamindari system, which exploited the farmers, the policy of laissez faire and free trade, which hindered the progress of rapid industrialization, the rapid growth of population, the decay of small-scale and cottage industries, which led to a large-scale migration from rural to urban areas, and the low levels of investment that resulted in the slow expansion of the secondary .
