NDA govt must tackle unemployment problem, especially in the unorganised sector: Rajiv Kumar

NDA govt must tackle unemployment problem, especially in the unorganised sector: Rajiv Kumar

The Hindu
Monday, June 10, 2024 8:41 AM GMT

The NDA government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, must tackle the unemployment problem in the unorganised sector, former NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar has said

Prime Minister Narendra Modi led-NDA government in its third term must tackle the problem of unemployment in India, especially in the unorganised sector and in small and medium enterprises, former NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar said on June 10.

Mr. Kumar also emphasised that the government now must finalise the four labour codes as it has been delayed beyond expectations.

"We must recognise that post-Covid economic recovery has been a K-shaped recovery. I think the most important reform that the Modi government must take is to tackle the unemployment problem, especially in the unorganised and the small and medium enterprises," he told PTI in an interview.

According to a recent International Labour Organisation (ILO) report, the share of unemployed youths in India's total unemployed population was nearly 83% in 2022. "The large corporations have done very well and those who are highly skilled have done well. But at the lower end, people are without jobs and firms are struggling to expand their capacity," the eminent economist said.

According to Mr. Kumar, an important way to generate employment is to reduce the regulatory and compliance burden that SMEs face. “So they have to be tackled along with the State governments,” he said.

He said that the four labour codes need to be finalised and made into statutes.

Mr. Kumar stressed the need to give more attention to the skilling of youth, especially to apprenticeship development, saying schooling and the education system in India are lagging behind in this regard.
