Urban Unemployment
countries is the result of a lack of effective demand. This implies that in these economies the
machines are stagnant and the demand for labor decreases because the demand for industrial
products no longer exists. The problem of unemployment has taken on serious proportions.
In the first decade of the 21st century, the Indian economy grew more than seven times a year
with growth rates above the average of around 5% in the 1990s. However, these high
production growth rates were not accompanied by employment growth. The inability of high
rates of growth in India, generating enough jobs, was the subject of sustained attention for the
first time at the end of 1990s, when total job creation decreased significantly.
Although job generation has accelerated since 2000, it has not recovered the rates achieved in
the early 1990s and in the late 1980s. Between 2000 and 2005, total employment increased
by 2.8% per year. During this time, the Labour Force Participation rate of adult men and
women (above 30 years) saw a slight increase, while the participation rates of young men and
women (aged 15-29) declined. Between 2005 and 2012, employment growth decreased
significantly, from an annual rate of around 2.8 per cent in the previous five-year period to
just 0.48 per cent. During this period, the employment rates of all men and women (above 15
years) have decreased, especially for women i.e. from 42% to 31%. The Labor Force includes
both those who actively participate in the work and those who are unemployed but actively
seek work. For the whole decade, total unemployment rate slightly decreased from 2.4% in
1999-2000 to 2.2% in 2011-2012. Also, the male unemployment rate has been reduced from
2.6 to 2.1%, the female unemployment rate increased from 1.8 to 2.4 percent.
Causes of Unemployment

produce anything. Even the primitive man needed some basic tools, such as a bow and
arrow, to focus on hunting his life and earning a livelihood. With the growth of
productive activity. If you are a farmer, you need a piece of land and also a plough, a
couple of oxen, seeds and food grains and other necessities of life to feed yourself
during the seed. Now, if the labor force grows faster than a country's capital stock, the
entire workforce cannot be included in productive jobs, as that would not be enough

Desirability:
With the help of the vocational training the Proficiency level of the candidates can be
improved. It can be carried out along with their basic educational attainment. The
unemployed individuals will have the chance to improve their chance and match the
level which the job position requires. The government can play a key role in this by
introducing certain programs where the youths potential can be harnessed further.
Because of this initiative the majority of the populations will be benefitted and it will
be desirable for the government to roll out certain programs related to vocational
training aspect.
By investing in the infrastructure the development can be enhanced in the rural parts
of the country. More jobs can be created in the rural parts of the country and this will
result in reduction of crowdiness in the urban parts of the country. This will be
balanced approach where the rural India can be brought to the level at par with the
Urban India. This idea will be desirable by government because there is a good cause
Viability
Vocational Training:
The main question that arises in this training program is “ Will it be financially
viable?”. The cost of operation can be met through corporate donations and NGOs.
Many companies who practice CSR activities may indulge themselves in this
initiative. The programme is feasible because operation cost problem can be solved
easily and also the price the candidates have to pay will be extremely minimal in
nature. So, from the angels it is a win win situation for both the government and the
candidates.
The government can build infrastructure out of its own budget though initially it may
cost high. But in the long run the outcome would be fruitful. With the advancement in
the infrastructure there would be parity in both the urban and rural India. The
population can be dispersed and the over crowdiness can be avoided in the urban part
of the country. Also, many companies can help the government in financial terms to
develop the infrastructure. Through this plan, more and more employment

and the people can seek for query from the helpline number. This program can be
positioned as a benefit based positioning. It will target the audience who are in need
of it to improve their skill sets. It can be advertised through social media platforms
and even posters too. There would be advertisements in the reginal news channels and
With the help of corporate funding and government’s own fund the infrastructures can
be built in the rural parts. The roll out of the construction in rural areas won’t stop
because the government is involved. The central government can also provide aids to
the respective state governments to build and harness the infrastructure. Also the
corporate guidance can help government to maintain its expenditure. It will remain
financially viable and in the same time this initiative will benefit a lot of people.
Through this more employment opportunities can be created and the Indian economy
