| dc.description.abstract | The key strategy for achieving inclusive growth in the Eleventh Plan has been generation of productive and gainful employment, with decent working conditions, on a sufficient scale to absorb the growing labour force. The Eleventh Plan (2007-12) aims at generation of 58 million work opportunities in twenty-one high growth sectors so that the unemployment rate falls to 4,83 per cent by the end of the Plan. The 64th round (2007-08) of NSSO survey on employment-unemployment indicates creation of 4 million work opportunities between 2004-05 and 2007-08. In the unemployment problem in India, the educated unemployment problem is more severe. In this backdrop, an attempt was made to analyse the determinants of voluntary and involuntary unemployment. The findings of the study shows that low qualification and low salary were the main factors determining unemployment. Age, ownership of land and property and sex were the dominant factors discriminating voluntary and involuntary unemployment. Voluntarily unemployed were distinguishable from involuntarily unemployed by higher level of age, higher number of males and lower value of property and land. The males who were in the higher age group but unmarried were voluntarily unemployed. These males were voluntarily unemployed due to dependence of their family income and expecting self-employment opportunities. | en_US |
