2. SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM:
Youth unemployment is a wide range problem. It is
prevalent around the world.
India’s key to future success — its youth — is a ticking
time bomb. It is a growing mass of largely
undernourished, undereducated, unemployable young
people who aspire for a better life but don’t have the
means to get there.
Who is unemployed? –unskilled people, uneducated
people, ethnic minorities and disabled people.
3. CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM
Low level of education
Inappropriate skills.
Insufficient economic growth.
Rapid population growth
Inadequate employment planning.
Seasonal agriculture.
Excessively regulated labour market.
4. REASONS FOR CHOOSING THIS PROBLEM?
Youth unemployment is a high priority agenda for our
country. It not only effects our economic growth but
also effect the social environment as manifested by
increased crimes, mental health problems, violence,
drug taking, and social exclusion.
High rate of unemployment could also lead to a brain
drain and hence country would lose a lot of valuable
human resource .
It could lead to instability within the country and
adversely affect the internal security of the country.
5. SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM
Guaranteed Minimum Income
A non –conditional GMI paid to each individual, would
at least ensure that no permanent resident would be
without an entitlement to a base income. It will delivers
an income home without interfering with productivity.
Our government should try to adopt labour intensive
techniques for new fields of production.
Improved Education System
Provide more education and training to the unemployed.
This will help in increasing communication skills,
cooperation, critical thinking , creativity and a focus on
the needs of the enterprise.

6. Decentralization
Experience shows that lack of gainful opportunities of
employment in villages and small towns has led to the
migration of people to metropolitan cities in search of
alternative jobs. As rural sector is dominant and
agriculture is the basic occupation of the people,
therefore, urgent need of the hour is to introduce rural
development schemes.
Increase in GDP
Changes in the economy have had a larger effect on
youth unemployment than overall unemployment. The
economic recession had a big affect on the current rate
of youth unemployment in the global north. In 2007,
before the recession began, the youth unemployment
rate was 13 percent. This number has now increased to
around 20 percent for youth.

7. Encouragement to Small Enterprises:
To provide the opportunities for self employment, small
scale industries should be given top priority. They should
be provided liberal loans, raw material training facilities
and infrastructure and market facilities etc.
Rapid Industrialization:
To solve the problem of industrial unemployment,
remedy lies in stepping up industrial efficiency. It means
that the expansion of existing and the development of
new industries are urgently required. Some basic
industries like iron and steel industries, defence,
chemical, power generation and atomic etc., should be
set up.
8. Population Control
There is no second opinion to say that population in India
is rising at a very high speed. Unless this problem is not
checked, the problem of unemployment cannot be
solved properly.
Efforts should be made to raise the agricultural and
industrial production. Therefore, special drive should be
made to make the programme of family planning a good
success especially in rural and backward regions of the
country.
9. IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLUTIONS
Education system must include about 50% of the job
training or practical training at every level. It must
include spiritual or ethical or national values at every
level.
There should be proper family planning programs which
can be easily implemented.
Brain Drain can be stopped by providing good wages and
various facilities like job security.
Development schemes must be shifted to rural areas also
to stop the migration of people.
By increasing the production we can increase the export
of goods which will directly have a good impact on our
economy.
