OUTLINE: (For BA Students)

1. A person who does not have any means to earn is called unemployed.

2. Unemployment is a universal problem. Every country faces it.

3. Unemployment produces very serious problem for the unemployed as well as for the young people.

4. The causes of unemployment are many; defective system of education, over population and unjust distribution of wealth.

5. We can overcome unemployment to some extent by controlling the growth in our population and removing the defects of our education system.

As, some-one has wisely said,

“Unemployment is bigger than a political party.

It is a national danger and a national scandal.”

A person who does not have a work to earn his livelihood is called an unemployed person. Unemployment is a universal problem. Everybody faces it. Even the developed countries like Britain and America face it. Unemployment exists at two levels in our country. There are uneducated people who have no source of income in this country. As, it is said,

"Of all aspects of social misery nothing is so heart breaking

as unemployment."

Unemployment also exists among the educated people. This is very dangerous in thousands of persons holding master's degrees are out of job. There are numberless doctors, engineers and scientists who have degrees in their hands but they are unemployed. Even people with foreign qualification wander aimlessly in search of jobs. As, it is wisely said,

"I learned that unemployment can be the great educator."

There are many thousands of unemployed labourers, farm workers in villages and workers in cities who are daily bread winners (LLU). Sometimes they do not get work for

days and weeks together. As, some-one has wisely said,

"Unemployment is of vital importance,

particularly to the unemployed."

The causes of the large scale of unemployment are many. First, our system of education is defective. It does not fulfill our social and economic needs. It aims at producing clerks and peons instead of technicians and skillful workers. It needs scientists, technical hands and skilful workers. Our education produces young graduates who do not like to work with their hands. We must change our education and harness it to the economic needs of the country. As, some-one has wisely said,

"Hunger is not the worst feature of unemployment;

Idleness is."

Secondly, our country is not much advanced in industry. We have a few mills and factories. We cannot absorb all jobless people in these factories and mills. As, it is wisely said,

"The hardest work in the world is being out of work."

Thirdly, the industry of the country is controlled by a few privileged people. They do not let others share their experience and capital. If they make a little sacrifice, they can raise a not work of industries in the country. The educated people have neither the opportunity nor the capital to set up an industry. The industrialists can give an incentive to the educated people to set up new factories and mills. As, some-one has wisely said,

"In the long run, the right answer to unemployment is to create more jobs."

Fourthly, our population is increasing rapidly. It is very difficult to provide jobs to such large number of people. They go on increasing every year. Our country is under developed and its sources are limited. As, some-one has wisely said,

"An 'unemployed' existence is a worse negation of life than death itself."

Large scale of unemployment has very bad effects upon the progress of the country.

Unemployed people do not take part in the development of the country. Moreover, the unemployed people in any society suffer from inferiority complex. They suffer from the agony that they are worthless and good for nothing.

Unemployment brings frustration and disappointment among the educated as well as the uneducated people. It brings in its wake hunger, starvation and disease. It produces a feeling of revolt among the unemployed. As, some-one has wisely said,

"Computers can solve all kinds of problems,

except the unemployment problem that they create."
