Indian youth (who care for jobs) are celebrating PM's Birthday as #NationalUnemploymentDay
This is not something usual we'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's either goes to references or links.
Here's another alluring path of employment for most of the youths in India - govt Jobs. With huge population of youth in India, it'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'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!
