1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :

Unemployment

Unemployment may be defined as a state of worklessness for a person who is fit and willing to work. „The state of unemployment‟ could also mean the state of having no job for that part of labour force in a country which is willing and fit to work but which is unable to get the work at the existing wage rate.

To a large extent, India is also facing an acute problem of unemployment. India is an underdeveloped economy. The nature of unemployment in India, therefore, differs from the one that prevails in a developed economy. In India we have chronic under-employment or disguised unemployment in the rural sector and unemployment among the educated classes in the urban areas.

Unemployment in the rural sector can be of two types. Seasonal unemployment which may be caused by inadequate irrigational facilities, decay of cottage industries, tendency to use agricultural machinery at farms etc and perennial under-employment or disguised nemployment which is caused due to rapid rate of growth of population, the joint family system and the prestige attached to land.

Unemployment among the educated class is found in urban areas. In India the proportion of educated unemployed in the total employment has been on the rise. The main cause of unemployment among the educated is the slow rate of growth of the economy in relation to increase in the number of educated persons.

The problem of unemployment in India is becoming more and more serious every year. The measures to solve rural unemployment are, promoting education especially female education and motivating people to have small families, stepping up the growth rate and starting new industries and land reform. To solve the problem of unemployment among the educated classes there is the need of faster economic growth to generate more jobs, need of improvements in the education and training provided to the youth with greater focus on vocational skills. If these steps are effectively encouraged and used, it will help India to overcome this problem to a large extent.
