A Mirage called “ Salaried Jobs “

 


 

Neither being a politician, nor a candidate for any election , I can afford to do some blunt talking, viz :

“ In India , salaried jobs for all , will remain a mirage, even when we become the 3rd largest economy “

We are adding to our work-force ( of unemployed jobseekers ), 15 million youth every year . No matter what promises political parties may include in their 2024 Lok Sabha elections, there is no way , we can create this many new salaried jobs, each year ( Public and Private Sector combined ) . What about backlog of currently unemployed youth ?

If anything, with expected ( huge ) acceleration of AI and ROBOTS, even existing jobs are likely to shrink

But our voters are gullible and our politicians are afraid to admit this ( Economists don’t go to street corners )  

Only alternative is to create an opportunity for SELF – EMPLOYMENT

May be our politicians are clue-less on how to go about creating Self Employment for 15 million each year

 

Hence they make promises like :

Ø  Congress manifesto may vow ‘right to apprenticeship’

( Incidentally, some of these are already implemented . Read :

I urge BJP not to succumb to this temptation ( of promising XYZ lakh jobs by ABC date ) in its Poll Manifesto

I urge Shri Nadda to ask his Manifesto Team to go through my following earlier 61 e-mails on the subject of creating Self Employment :

Summary of E-Mails to Cabinet Ministers > SELF EMPLOYMENT / GIG ECONOMY  .. 10  Mar  2021

 

If the team is too busy (with anything more important) to read all 61 emails, let them read just the following :

Ø  A NEW ECONOMIC ORDER ? aka " Start Up Act - 2015 "……….... 12  Sep 2015
