| Missing: An employment plan | 19-NOV-09 |
|
| A number of recent incidents, many of which pose a threat to social order, highlight the stress that the economy faces in terms of generating jobs for larger numbers of aspiring young people. Between 12 million and 15 million new jobs need to be generated each year to accommodate new entrants into the workforce, beyond the number needed to take care of the backlog of unemployed. Only a small fraction of those numbers is actually available, particularly in the organised sector. The recent demand by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) that the State Bank of India recruit only Marathi-speakers for 1,100 jobs being offered in the state is an acute reflection of the problem — as is the fact that people with post-graduate management degrees have been applying in large numbers for clerical jobs in banks. As in most large-scale recruitment programmes in the public sector these days, the number of applicants is almost 100 times the number of openings. |
