There are many good schools, colleges and universities in our country. Every year thousands of students pass out from there. But on the other hand, unemployment rate in India is increasing day by day. Slowly it is becoming a big problem of our country. An army of unemployed has appeared.

Where there is no employment and people who do not have employment are called unemployed. Unemployment is a big problem in the way of self and country progress. Unemployment is also the lack of work for those who want to work. Unemployment is a major problem in India today. Due to unemployment, many families have become hollow from the economic condition. Economic plans in our country will not be successful until the problem of unemployment is not eradicated. Today we are independent but till now we have not been financially capable.

The state of being without any work yet looking for work is called unemployment. Economists distinguish between various overlapping types of and theories of unemployment, including cyclical or Keynesian unemployment, frictional unemployment, structural unemployment and classical unemployment. Some additional types of unemployment that are occasionally mentioned are seasonal unemployment, hardcore unemployment, and hidden unemployment.

Though there have been several definitions of "voluntary" and "involuntary unemployment" in the economics literature, a simple distinction is often applied. Voluntary unemployment is attributed to the individual's decisions, but involuntary unemployment exists because of the socio-economic environment (including the market structure, government intervention, and the level of aggregate demand) in which individuals operate. In these terms, much or most of frictional unemployment is voluntary since it reflects individual search behavior. Voluntary unemployment includes workers who reject low-wage jobs, but involuntary unemployment includes workers fired because of an economic crisis, industrial decline, company bankruptcy, or organizational restructuring.

The clearest cases of involuntary unemployment are those with fewer job vacancies than unemployed workers even when wages are allowed to adjust and so even if all vacancies were to be filled, some unemployed workers would still remain. That happens with cyclical unemployment, as macroeconomic forces cause micro-economic unemployment, which can boomerang back and exacerbate those macroeconomic forces.

Unemployment is also of four types.

1. Total unemployment : where labor is not valued at all.
2. Semi unemployment ie 'part time job' : where labor is bought for 2-4 hours.
3. Seasonal unemployment : Like when laborers are kept while harvesting crops. At the time of construction of a building, laborers are hired, later they become unemployed.
4. Status Unemployment : Where there is a lack of work due to falling from the ability the reason is unemployment.

There are four types of unemployment in terms of level

1. Unemployment of educated people.
2. Unemployment of people with craftsmanship.
3. Unemployment of the illiterate.

The first reason for unemployment is the increasing population of the country. One crore per year in the country Babies are born. The means of employment are not increasing in the proportion in which the population is increasing. As a result, unemployment is increasing day by day.

Many reasons account for this. Firstly, our population is increasing at a very high rate. It is very difficult to provide employment to every person at such high rate. Secondly, our education system is also responsible for this. It is more bookish and less practical. It makes students good only at paperwork. They are not skilled and hence do not have the courage to start their own business. Even if they do business, they often fail and become unemployed again. There are very few options for vocational training in our schools and colleges. India is mainly an agricultural country. However, this agricultural activity is seasonal. Hence our farmers remain unemployed for most of the year.

There are other causes of unemployment or unemployment in India

• Increasing pressure on agriculture.
• Decline of traditional handicraft industries.
• Faulty planning.
• Ignoring vocational education.
• Lack of mobility among workers.
• Lack of desire to be self-employed.

To remove the unemployment of the country, we have to work with foresight. first for him Emphasis has to be laid on family planning. The right to procreation will have to be taken away from those who cannot nurture. Like an emergency, this program will have to be made a success with a hard heart. The exemption of reproduction on the basis of religion has to be restricted.

Education has to be commercialised. So that in the youth section towards 'self-employment' Be interested. With the development by new technology, new skills will increase rapidly. some production of small scale industries Must be ensured so that they are not inferior to the competition of big industries, do not lag behind.

Educated youth have to understand the importance of physical labor. Interest has to be created in their mind towards labor, so that they adopt domestic industries. Industries are the symbol of progress of the nation. Today the production of the nation is falling. This Will have to increase, new industries will have to be established. The nation will get the necessary things from new industries and the means of employment will increase.

Now it's time to solve this problem. We should stop the increasing population. The government should take all possible measures for this. Family planning techniques should be encouraged. Our schools and colleges should pay more attention to vocational training. Employment oriented subjects should be included in the syllabus. Cottage and small scale industries should be encouraged. The mindset of every youth should be vocational. Instead of running for jobs, they should try to set up their own industry. In this way they can give employment to others also.

Eighty percent of India's population lives in villages and is dependent on agriculture. A lot of time of farmers is wasted. Therefore, there is a need for employable rural development planning and development of industries based on agriculture. Simultaneously, a revolution can be brought in the life of the villages by giving electricity to the villages. Unemployment can be reduced by full exploitation of natural resources, increase in investment, national policy making of employment and intensification of industrial development services. Therefore, the problem of unemployment can be solved by all the above mentioned efforts. With this, India can also become an economically strong nation. Poverty can be removed from India forever.
