Suffering from artificial enemployment
Suffering from artificial un-employment.
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.
It is an accepted fact that most of the Indians are unemployed and they are dependant upon a few members who are earning and thus these unemployed people are not allowing the family to grow rich. If all eligible persons in the family are earning, then there are chances that poverty shall vanish from India.
We are a country with large population and we need a large number of people to serve them and meet their demands. We have seen that mostly the educated people are unemployed because they do not want to take up jobs which they consider are lower from their status. That is the reason people from other areas are coming and are taking up those jobs and people of that area are roaming unemployed. Such situations are available in the state of Punjab where most of the educated people have become choosy and they do not want to take up lower jobs and most of them are trying to go abroad because they say that believe that there shall be none to see them doing lower type of jobs. And most of them are turning drug addicts, drunkards, opium eaters or some are turning criminals. Had there been proper employment in the state of Punjab, the country could have saved itself from the terrorism which had occupied about a decade of national life and thousands of our people had been killed and massacred.
We have noted that a large number of people are turning Sadhus, Saints, Sanyasis or beggars and they too are enjoying life. Some of them have established Deras, Asharams and Mathhs and they too are enjoying life because people can be looted on religious grounds. The people in these institutions are turning rich and they are also collecting a large number of attendants who too are being maintained by these institutions.
Our education system had been at fault and at the same time we are ignoring vocational guidance system here and that is the reason most of the people coming out of schools, colleges and training institutions do not know what trade they shall occupy and if we observe in an Employment Exchange, we shall notice that most of the people coming for registration shall be saying that their names be registered in ' General Vacancies ' means they are ready to take up any job that could be available to them. This is a tragic scene because actually all the candidates coming from educational and training institutions must know for which job they had been trained and whether those jobs are available for them.
Time has come when parents shall have to say good bye to their wards when they complete their education and training and they must find out a job for themselves. The parents should stop maintaining such wards who do not want work when work is available in work is available in work market. The state must train the people as per national demand and there should not be surplus people nor the work market should suffer shortage of people.
