Question

Problem of educated unemployment among youth

Answer 1

Today, unfortunately, our country is faced with one of the grimmest problems – that of mass-unemployment among the educated young men and women. In Kerala, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and other States, where the percentage of educated people is high, the educated people are tried hard to cope up with the problem.

After the Independence it was believed that the problem of unemployment would become a ‘myth of the past’ and that not a single educated son or daughter of Free India would suffer from the plight of unemployment. But the situation took a different turn. The number of unemployment, especially among educated persons began to increase with alarming rapidity. In 1957, ten years after the attainment of independence, India exhibited a grim spectacle of mass- unemployment and a committee, appointed by the Government of India, in its report gave the starling and gravely alarming facts and figures, proving the truth that a large percentage of the University graduates, especially in Arts, had not been provided with employment.
