The following are the main causes of unemployment:
(i) Caste System:
In India caste system is prevalent. The work is prohibited for specific castes in some areas.
In many cases, the work is not given to the deserving candidates but given to the person belonging to a particular community. So this gives rise to unemployment.
(ii) Slow Economic Growth:
Indian economy is underdeveloped and role of economic growth is very slow. This slow growth fails to provide enough unemployment opportunities to the increasing population.
(iii) Increase in Population:
Constant increase in population has been a big problem in India. It is one of the main causes of unemployment. The rate of unemployment is 11.1% in 10th Plan.
(iv) Agriculture is a Seasonal Occupation:
Agriculture is underdeveloped in India. It provides seasonal employment. Large part of population is dependent on agriculture. But agriculture being seasonal provides work for a few months. So this gives rise to unemployment.
(v) Joint Family System:
In big families having big business, many such persons will be available who do not do any work and depend on the joint income of the family.
Many of them seem to be working but they do not add anything to production. So they encourage disguised unemployment.
(vi) Fall of Cottage and Small industries:
The industrial development had adverse effect on cottage and small industries. The production of cottage industries began to fall and many artisans became unemployed.
(vii) Slow Growth of Industrialisation:
The rate of industrial growth is slow. Though emphasis is laid on industrialisation yet the avenues of employment created by industrialisation are very few.
(viii) Less Savings and Investment:
There is inadequate capital in India. Above all, this capital has been judiciously invested. Investment depends on savings. Savings are inadequate. Due to shortage of savings and investment, opportunities of employment have not been created.
(ix) Causes of Under Employment:
Inadequate availability of means of production is the main cause of under employment. People do not get employment for the whole year due to shortage of electricity, coal and raw materials.
(x) Defective Planning:
Defective planning is the one of the cause of unemployment. There is wide gap between supply and demand for labour. No Plan had formulated any long term scheme for removal of unemployment.
(xi) Expansion of Universities:
The number of universities has increased manifold. There are 385 universities. As a result of this educated unemployment or white collar unemployment has increased.
(xii) Inadequate Irrigation Facilities:
Even after the completion of 9th five plans, 39% of total cultivable area could get irrigation facilities.
Solution of Unemployment:
1. The creation of more job opportunities:
The work force of any country usually makes up a large part of its population. In order to cater to the needs of its people, all countries should ensure that they create many job opportunities so that all the people who are eager to work, get the chance to do so.
This having been said the government should ensure that people are paid adequately for the services which they provide so that at the end of the day, no person feels like he or she is being over worked and paid less.
Once more job opportunities are created the unemployment rate is sure to come down a great deal.
2. Individuals should be encouraged to enter diverse fields:
Many of us would know that from a very young age, we are made to choose from very specific job options. Most often than not, our parents encourage us from a very tender age to become either doctors or lawyers or are encouraged to dream big.
It is for this very reason that from a very young age kids should be encouraged to broaden their horizons. Not everyone needs to be a doctor, lawyer or a part of the corporate jungle. There are plenty of lucrative opportunities available for individuals in other fields as well.
It is rather unfortunate that so many able and capable people are unable to find jobs, simply because there are not many opportunities available for them. Big and successful companies nowadays simply want to hire the best of the best.
No big corporate house is willing to hire individuals who are unsure of what to do in a professional set up. Being unemployed causes people to often feel sad as well as depressed, so if you have some family member or friend who is unemployed ensure that you are there for this person in their time of need and self doubt as well.
