Question

Why is educated unemployed, a peculiar problem in India?

Answer 1

• Unemployment has become a common phenomenon among educated people in urban areas.
• Many youths with postgraduate degrees, graduate degrees, and matriculation are not able to find jobs.
• As per a study the growth of unemployment of postgraduates and graduates has increased faster than the growth of unemployment among matriculates.
• Availability of manpower is in a paradoxical situation, there are manpower shortages in some categories, coexisting with a surplus of manpower in certain categories.
• There is a scarcity of manpower required for economic growth whereas there are technically qualified people on the other hand.
• Maybe one of the causes for such a situation is the education system which may not be in sync with the requirements of the job industry.
• The other problem could be due to the massive rise in population, whereas the jobs created are not able to catch up with the growth of population.
