Answer 2

Here I will discuss details about six major employment strategies used to reduce employment.

1. Use of Labour-intensive Technology:
We must adopt labour-intensive technology in both the organised and unorganised sectors, so that sufficient employment opportunities can be generated.

2. Accelerating Investment in Agriculture:
Another important reason for slow growth of employment in agriculture and rural sector has also been a shortfall in investment or capital formation in agriculture.

3. Diversification of Agriculture:
Besides there is urgent need for diversification of agriculture. For example, there is an urgent need for a relative shift from growing of crops to horticulture, vegetable production, floriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries etc. which are more labour absorbing and higher income-yielding. In addition to this, promotion of agro-processing industries for export purposes has a large employment potential.

4. Labour-Intensive Industrial Growth:
For solving unemployment problem in the urban areas, the organised industrial sector must also absorb a sufficient number of workers. The failure of the organised industrial sector to generate enough employment opportunities is due to the use of capital-intensive technologies imported from abroad.

5. Services and Employment Growth:
The growth of services in India has a large employment potential. In 1993-94 to 1999-2000, next to the construction sector the employment elasticity of output growth in services was higher and was estimated at about 0.50. Of special mention are software services and BPO (Business Processing Outsourcing) which have a lot of employment potential, especially for the educated youth of the country.

6. Education, Health and Employment Generation:
Lastly, the expansion of education and health care not only promotes accumulation of human capital and thereby contributes to growth of output, it will also generate a good deal of employment opportunities. More schools, hospitals, health care clinics in the rural and urban areas will not only create employment during their construction but also, and more important, when they start working to provide education and health services.
