Unemployment in India : There are many cases of youth suffering from unemployment in the country. Recently, such cases have come to light that thousands of youth are coming towards small recruitment process, in which MBA-graduates are also willing to do small jobs. However, on the other hand, government figures show a different picture. At present, the report released by the National Sample Survey has revealed that the unemployment rate has stabilized.
Unemployment among women increased
According to the Labor Force Survey Report, the unemployment rate in the country was 3.2 percent during July-23 to June-24. Which was 3.1 percent last year. This report includes people above 15 years of age. The unemployment rate among women has increased from 2.9 percent last year to 3.2 percent this year. The labor force participation rate was 60 percent from July-23 to June-24. Which is more than 57.9 percent last year. This rate was 78.8 percent among men and 41.7 percent among women.
Example of Unemployment
Just a while ago, during the recruitment process at a hotel in Ankleshwar, Gujarat, a huge crowd of youth had gathered. Due to the stampede, the railing of the hotel collapsed. On the other hand, as soon as the recruitment of Nagar Sevak (cleaner) was announced in Haryana, lakhs of youth applied. These youth also had degrees like Graduate, MBA, BCA, BSc. This shows that the youth are not getting work according to their qualification, so they are ready to do any work. At Mumbai airport also, during the recruitment of cleaners and caretakers, there was a stampede of thousands of applicants.
LFPR increased
LFPR (labour force participation rate) covers the number of people eligible to work in the total population of the country. The LFPR for women above 15 years of age increased from 37 percent in July-22 to June-23 to 41.7 percent in July-23 to June-24. While this rate has increased from 78.5 percent to 78.8 percent in men. The worker population ratio for July, 2023 to June, 2024 was 58.2 percent, as against 56.0 percent a year ago. This figure was 76.3 percent among men and 40.3 percent among women. WPR data calculates working people out of the total population. The National Sample Survey Office started the Periodic Labour Force Survey in April 2017. Its main objective is to show the employment and unemployment situation in the country.
