The article "Plight of Educated Unemployed" by C.P. Hariharan discusses the growing issue of educated unemployment in India, which is exacerbated by rapid advancements in information technology and population growth. The author highlights that the demand for labor is not being met by job creation, leading many educated individuals to remain unemployed. Self-employment and freelancing are seen as the only viable alternatives, but starting a business requires significant capital and resources. The article points out that educated individuals cannot accept low-status jobs due to their need to maintain dignity and standards of living. Unlike some foreign countries, India lacks a support system for the educated unemployed. Hariharan criticizes the ongoing reservation policies for backward communities, suggesting that these only perpetuate inefficiency and neglect deserving candidates. He advocates for a shift towards economically weaker sections (EWS) reservations instead of caste-based ones. The article also emphasizes the importance of performance-based job allocation and management techniques to enhance productivity. The author concludes by noting the psychological impact of unemployment, which can lead to frustration, depression, and social unrest, and emphasizes the need for flexibility among seasonal workers who only find temporary employment.
