Almost all countries in the world have employment and unemployment problem. A total number of 191.8 million persons were unemployed in the year 2005 in the world.The unemployment rate was around 6.3% of the labour force 1.37 billion people though employed were earning less than US$2 a day. 520.1 million people though employed were earning less than US$ 1 a day. The problem therefore is of the order of 711.9 million if at least one dollar a day is considered.

STRUCTURE OF WORKFORCE
Sector World India
Agriculture 40.1% 58.5% Industry 21.0% 18.1% Services 38.9% 23.4% Vast majority of workers in Agriculture A significant proportion of them are below poverty line
Various countries are trying to address the problem of unemployment through various means. Developed countries are trying to have separate employment policies. Developing countries are relying on economic growth as well as special employment generation programme. Export of labour force to other countries will not be easy unless labour force in developing countries can claim better skills.
Labour productivity (in terms of per capita output) is quite low($3.05), compared to the advanced countries like USA($40.72),UK($30.92), Even China ($4.39) has better labour productivity than that of India. Economic development, productivity and employment growth are still positively correlated.The extent of correlation varies from sector to sector. While in services sector these have high correlation,the industrial and agriculture sector the correlation is low.
(Continued)
Unlike in developed countries, in developing countries like India where demand has not yet reached the saturation point Productivity increase had no retarding effect on employment. Technological development in various sector has not yet reached to that level which leads to Economic growth without any employment growth.

PROBLEMS
Population growth and consequential increase in the labour force. 10 to 12 million persons are entering the labour force every year.
MAIN ISSUES
There are primarily two main issues namely:Issue no-1 How to provide employment to the new entrant to the labour force and to the unemployed. That is how to create additional employment opportunities needed. Issue no-2 How to improve quality of employment so that productivity and income level of the workforce increases.
Basic Assumption
Economy has the capacity to provide gainful employment to all the persons in the labour force The workforce is not able to get decent work because of non availability of skill required in the labour market
Planned Initiative. Tenth Plan envisages creation of around 10 million jobs each year, around 6 million from normal growth process and around 4 million through special employment generation programme proposed for sectors. Economic growth and employment growth being correlated attempts are made to achieve 8% growth rate of the economy so that anticipated employment generation takes place. As against a target of 10 million per year around12 million persons per year were provided employment during 2000-2005
Provide skill training to the new entrants to the labour force Improving skill level of the work force. Organize Skill training as per the market demand. That is, it should cater to the needs of both organized and unorganized sector.
2.
Training is imparted in various trades designed primarily to suit organized sector Around 2.5 million get training each year through various ministries/ departments of central government. Industries are associated with training through institute management committee. Formal test conducted and certificate issued.
Continued
Skill acquisitions through informal means can not be avoided. Skills thus obtained require testing and certification. ( for construction industry it has been taken up. For other industry it is being worked out) For those skills which are required and normally not obtained through informal channels/ not available in sufficient number special efforts are made to organise modular practical oriented course by utilizing existing infrastructure( i.e ITI, polytechnics, schools etc) and master craftsman.
Continued
In the Institute of Excellence being developed it is aimed that side by side with production of world class workman modular course will help them in self employment and engagement in informal sector. Various Ministries and Departments also are addressing the needs of informal sector while designing skill training for the sector dealt by them.
