Unemployment: A critical crises | how it is affecting the mindset of youth
Sir Arthur Clarke once said, "The goal of the future is full of unemployment." which forces us to think about it and makes it a serious issue. Unemployment is the term refers to that group of individuals who are actively trying to seek jobs but are not able to find any work. Unemployment is one of the vast crises in India. There are 53 million unemployed persons in India among them 35 million are actively seeking jobs and the remaining 17 million are finding it challenging to fulfill the requirements of the jobs. we can't decide the unemployment based on the unemployability rate due to constantly increasing the population. we can see a sudden growth in the graph of unemployability rate after the covid pandemic but the pandemic is not the only reason to rise these crises then what exactly are the reasons cause such huge crises?
Which Factors are responsible for this crisis?
The biggest factor causing this huge unemployment is our
wrong directional educational system. Though the things which are now taught
in college were in demand in the past, now the time has changed the
technology is getting modified. Cloud, Blockchain, SEO, and Data science are
such new terms entering the technological world some are using these sources
and proving that we can become financially stable by learning these skills
on our own. The problem is that excepting some well-known institutes the
universities are not able to express the importance of this field and some
universities are getting failure to make the students able to face
challenges in this advancing competition.
Nowadays students want to get settled with a stable government job and due to this priority of students toward government jobs is getting increasing. the probability of getting these jobs is very low sometimes even less than 1% so, everyone can't get a stable government job. In India, Ph.D. holders are even applying for a job as a peon which generally has an educational qualification of passing 10th or 12th standard this could be a remark which thoroughly defines how deep the crisis is!
The dark side of the competitive exams!
In the system, there is a lack of a disciplinary timetable
for conducting the competitive exams. while conducting the exams related
comities taking 2-2.5 years to complete the procedure and after this
students further have to wait for the joining, some-time it takes more than
a year to get the joining letters which are creating a stressful situation
for students and leading to a negative impact on this exams so, vacancies
are not getting filled properly at the time and the numbers of
unemployability are getting increasing
Some cases are found that the management of the comities
which conducts the competitive exams are selling the jobs and this type of
cases is the major reason to cause a depressed atmosphere for students.
The data is saying that the average selling price for the job of a peon is
near about 10 lakh and some of the job seekers are even ready to pay for
it. According to some Ex-members of the independent comities which conduct
the exams, the government's interference is very high in the joining of
the candidates, if the government wants to enter it openly then why do
they form this type of comities? then there is no need for such
independent comities.
What exactly led engineers towards this crisis?
There was a time in the 1990s when a sudden wave in the
IT industry has raised and the engineers not only related to the IT sector but
also related to other branches were in huge demand looking at these demands as
an opportunity some started to make profits from it and the empire of private
institutes had established. Students have started to pay huge donations and an
excess amount of engineering institutes were formed from which students were
getting their degrees by paying them, it can be another example that leads to
unemployability. Today there are about approx 2500 engineering colleges in
India and more than a million students are graduating every year. Technology
is getting advanced day by day but the engineering colleges are not adopting
this technology as fast as it is developing, As a result, many of the colleges
are about to shut up till today more than 400 colleges were permanently closed
in India.
which factors can control this crisis?
Toady the number of job seekers is much more than the job creators and to Prevent from this crisis we have to be a focus on creating jobs we to step forward and have to adopt this new cultures of technology which can lead us to tremendous growth. we have so many examples of self-made millionaires in the sectors such as gaming, vlogging, content creating, etc but the students are not much more aware of this and it's a responsibility of our educational system to make students aware of all the fields in which they can earn money. Though the government has created a lot of schemes to encourage students to startup, are those schemes really helping the youth? Is the government implementing it properly? We can't develop the startup culture by only making such schemes of funding our education should include the activities that really help us to solve actual life problems and should also include how can we earn profit by solving that problem. so, by doing this students' approach toward earning money may change and the numbers are unemployability will definitely reduce.
Unemployability may be a huge factor in the future or may not
be but if this can't be handled properly the upcoming generations will also
have to face this critical crisis. Will it happen?
