    India's employment dwindling by 550 jobs per day
    Credits:
  • The data released by Labour Bureau early 2016 painted a scary picture of Indian employment.

    It revealed that "550 jobs have disappeared every day in last four years and if this trend continues, employment would shrink by 7 million by 2050" in the country.

    Only 1.35 lakh jobs were created in 2015 in contrast to "4.19 lakh in 2013 and 9 lakh in 2011".

  • Reasons

    Why the sudden rise in unemployment?

    Why the sudden rise in unemployment?
  • The Labour Bureau blamed the rise in unemployment to the loss in the employment rate in those sectors which were the largest contributor of jobs.

    The worst-affected are the agriculture and unorganized sector.

    The organized sector accounts only for a minuscule under one-percent of employment in India.

    India has almost 440 million in unorganized sector and a mere 30 million jobs in organized sector.

  • Initiatives

    Modi pushes employment through MGNREGA

    The Modi government said that it would give all the push that was needed to provide wages to everyone in India.

    Along with initiatives like 'Make in India', Modi said he was facilitating employment growth.
