Indian youth (who care for jobs) are celebrating PM& #39;s Birthday as #NationalUnemploymentDay
This is not something usual we& #39;ve seen in past 6 years. Barring out the campaigns of inflation and scams pre 2014 era, these voices are now becoming louder once again. Some statistics:1/n
Indian service sector contributes close to 60% of GDP. However, it still employs only 25% of the labour force!
In US it has 80% of share & provides 79% of the jobs.
Main problem in India is, jobs are not streamlined to education system, it& #39;s either goes to references or links.
Here& #39;s another alluring path of employment for most of the youths in India - govt Jobs. With huge population of youth in India, it& #39;s inevitable to ignore what they crave for, they want to give their best in a job that provides stability for future. There are over 6.8 lakh vacant
posts in different deps, which could give jobs to lakhs & provide some mobility in India& #39;s GDP by pumping in young blood. But govt is adamant to either shut these posts or Privatize the Departments. This might lower the GDP & hence #NationalUnemploymentDay is being celebrated!
