 Essay on Unemployment 

Unemployment is a big curse. Man is made for work. It has been said that 'an idle brain is a devil's workshop'. It is perfectly true. An idle man always thinks of one mischief or other. Thus, an idle man is not only a burden to himself, but also a positive danger to society.
Many people remain unemployed, not because they want to remain unemployed but because they have nothing useful to do. It is the duty of the government to open avenues of employment for various classes of people. 

 

In our country, unemployment is growing increasingly among the educated middle class. Schools and colleges are g rowing in number and every year they turn out lakhs of graduates who wander from door to door in search of jobs. What is the cause of unemployment particularly among the educated people? The answer lies in the defective system of education. Modern education teaches people to detest manual labour. Educated people can do nothing except paper work. They look down upon business or other professions involving manual laboratory. Thus a solution of the problem lies mainly in the change of thinking process of the educated people. When the educated people will come to realise that second empty is better than any service, the problem of unemployment would be solved to a great extent. 

Along with the change of thinking process, it is also necessary to create avenues of employment. There must be profitable trades and occupations for such people to take up.
The government has opened institutions for the benefit of unemployed people. The Employment Exchange is doing good work in many big towns. Many people have got employment through these employment Exchanges.
Since independence, our government has been making earnest effort to open various avenues of employment. It has started many schools and institutions to train educated persons in various arts and trades. It is encouraging the cottage industries too. Certainly our government has gone a long way in providing employment to many, but still a long course remains to be covered.
