      Why is educated unemployment a problem peculiar to India?

    Answer:

      Educated unemployment is posing a grave threat to our country. A study showed that lakhs of educated person are unemployed. Unemployment of graduates and postgraduates has increased faster than among matriculates. A paradoxical manpower situation is witnessed, as surplus manpower in certain categories coexists with shortage of manpower in others. There is unemployment among technically qualified persons on the one hand, while there is a dearth of technical skills required for economic growth. According to the survey of NSS, the rate of unemployment among the educated was 11.9%, as compared to 6.1% for the total labour force. Thus educated, unemployment is a problem peculiar to India.                               (3)
