Abstract

One very crucial factor hitting our entire economy is the gradual increase in magnitude of
unemployment. The high rate of unemployment is one of the basic causes of growing unrest
and social evil entire country productive employment is the only sustainable solution to
progress in the country. Poverty, unemployment and inequality are co-related terms as one
generates another one. It is an universal problem but poverty, unemployment and inequality
exists more in Asian countries which is headed by India. Even after more than 60 years of
independence the poverty gap between have and have nots has not shrunk much. The growth
of population is explosive so there is unemployment.
India is marching faster towards the capitalist society so poverty, unemployment and
inequality cycle is not broken.
