Question - 11 : - Why is educated unemployed, a peculiar problem of India?

Answer - 11 : -

Educated unemployment has become a common phenomenon in India. Youths with matriculation, graduation and post-graduation degrees are unable to get jobs in India. This is because the education system in India labels anyone above the age of 18 years eligible to work. This leaves the youth unskilled and ultimately, unemployed. It is important that an individual does not only have a degree but must also be skilled enough to get a job.

Question - 12 : - In which field do you think India can build the maximum employment opportunity?

Answer - 12 : -

There are three types of activities in which the employment sector is divided: the primary sector, secondary sector and tertiary sector. The largest part of Indi’s population is dependent on agriculture for their livelihood, yet there is a massive scope of disguised unemployment in the agricultural sector. Hence the manufacturing sector, a secondary activity is the one where the maximum part of the population can be given employment due to the increase in the number of industries.
