Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

IMF DMD Gita Gopinath

 

India needs to create 14.8 cr additional jobs by 2030 given population growth: IMF DMD Gita Gopinath
 


Extract:

 

In a recent statement, IMF's First Deputy Managing Director, Gita Gopinath, highlighted the pressing need for India to generate an additional 14.8 crore jobs by 2030 due to population growth.

 

 

Gopinath emphasized that India's employment rate lags significantly behind that of other G20 nations. She recommended a revamp of the education system to enhance the skill set of the workforce.

 

The call to action underscores the crucial intersection between demographic trends and employment challenges facing India.

 

The statistics paint a stark picture of the impending job crisis necessitating immediate attention and strategic interventions to bridge the widening gap between population growth and job creation.


My Take:

 

Indias Population Explodes…………….22/09/2011

 

I had predicted the demographic challenges India faces today back in 2011 when I highlighted the explosive growth in India's population, especially in the younger age brackets.

 

The need for upskilling the workforce through initiatives like the National Skills Development Corporation resonates with my earlier emphasis on preparing the population for future job demands. The mandate to provide skills to millions aligns with the urgency stressed by Gopinath for improving the employment scenario by enhancing the skill set of individuals.

ICEBERG OF UNEMPLOYMENT…………..29-01/2011

 

Reflecting on the imminent iceberg of unemployment, as outlined in my earlier blog, the current situation in India mirrors the concerns raised regarding job creation and the demographic dividend.

 

The alarming figures of young Indians entering the workforce each year without adequate employment opportunities echo the need for immediate action to avert an economic crisis.

 

Gopinath's call for revamping the education system to address the skill gap aligns with the crucial analysis of job creation trends and the potential repercussions of ignoring the iceberg of unemployment.


Call to Action:

 

To IMF's First Deputy Managing Director, Gita Gopinath, and policymakers in India, I urge a collaborative effort in implementing comprehensive strategies to tackle the looming job crisis.

 

It's imperative to prioritize investments in education and skills development to equip the workforce with the capabilities needed to meet the demands of a rapidly growing population.

 

Let's work together towards creating a more resilient and sustainable job market for India's future generations.
