The thing is, ideally one should do a job which one loves i.e. the person should actually like the JD, and not just for sustenance. If one is doing it just for sustenance, then shes at the mercy of the employer. LIke many people sit for clerical level government jobs, while preparing for UPSC, just for "job security". Heck many Doctors take up SSC level jobs during preparation. They surely are overqualified for that job. Thus, they eat away seats for the deserving and then dont give their 100% to that job as well. This hurts the economy in the long run for sure.
Yup. A sad truth for middle class Indians, you see.
This should ease out the competition as well. For example, if two people apply for 1 post, and one gets selected as she has score 1 more mark than the other, this doesnt mean that the other person is unfit for that job. The other person will then have other similar options both in the government and the private sector. I believe job market should be secure. One should not worry about jobs or employment even if she is pink slipped. This will definitely help people develop other skills/ take interest in other issues, which will then benefit the nation as a whole.
Agree. True. I think a bit of research on those parts of the world that have such abundance of jobs would reveal the factors that made this very possibilty (that we only dream about now) a reality in the first place. Unemployments rates are higher than the world's average, here.
A slight digression, here. Talking about entrepreneurship, I don't think we Indians are that bad entrepreneurs, at all! Tech, service and manufacturing startups aren't the only venues that come under this domain. Each self-employed villager is an entrepreneur (in itself), if you look at him or her, with a different set of lenses. However small his/her enterprise might be, but that's a business, in itself, right? Now do these self-employed entrepreneurs face no worries, or taking a step further, do they 'really' like their JD? Something to think upon.
There is a difference between a merchant and an entrepreneur. A merchant just sells stuffs, and doesnt generate much employment. Entrepreneur innovates and makes a dent on the market. He needs people to do the same. Thus employment is generated. For example, a lala ki dukaan cant be considered as an entrepreneurial marvel, however a small scale cotton mill may be. The cotton mill creates both value and employment.
Anyways, coming back to the point, now the newly constituted Economic COuncil of the PM has also accepted the fact that employment generation has actually slowed down. However, globally, many economies are still going strong. I wonder what will the government do in this scenario? Creating more government jobs may be one of the options. Creating a culture of entrepreneurship will take several decades. What about the present "young population" then? Secondly many researches have recently come out, which clearly state that lifestyle diseases like diabetes and heart attacks are happening earlier now. The main reason I guess is the nature of jobs and a lack of job security. I am sure the government doesnt want unhealthy and unemployed youth in the system.
Yaar poora reply erase ho gaya. Damn! Ipad got discharged. What you say is true - the merchant vs entrepreneur difference (spot on). I should've been more explicit. Will elaborate later on.
Bhai mai to chahta hu ki University professors ka bhi audit ho, they should also be responsible for not providing adequate guidance in this crucial time.
Though this article assiduously tackles issues that plague the rural job market, it fails to throw light on issues of urban graduates who aspire for more than just mere sustenance.
