The fresh data released by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) showed that unemployment rate in the month of October jumped to 8.5 per cent, which is the highest in over three years. A new academic research paper released by the Centre of Sustainable Employment also concluded that there has been a marked decline in total employment in India between 2011-2012 and 2017-2018.

According to the research paper, due to sharp increases in enrollment at every level of education over the noughties, it was expected that post-2012 total employment would increase, particularly in the non-farm sectors. But unfortunately, total employment during 2011-2012 and 2017-2018 declined by 9 million. The research further states that this happened for the first time in India’s history.

It is really ironical to note that when Coimbatore Municipal Corporation posted a vacancy for 549 sanitary workers, what followed was that 7,000 highly qualified applicants, some of whom even with engineering and graduate degrees, applied for the job. The Corporation witnessed the overwhelming turnout of 7,000 candidates. Similarly, an unusual event was witnessed when around 4,600 youths sent their applications for 14 posts like sweepers and sanitary workers. The applicants had professional qualifications like B.Tech, M.Tech, or MBA.

In this regard, it is worth mentioning a book titled ‘Job crisis in India’ written by business journalist Raghavan Jagnnathan. The author in his book pointed out factors and reasons behind this decline of employment, one of which is the absence of skills required in the highly technical nature of jobs. Another aspect is that in the majority of cases the skills or training acquired by the youths do not match or suit the core demands of the job. Therefore, at first the government must step up for reformation, innovation and renovation of the standard of the education in universities and colleges.
