The first was to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/india-today-insight\/story\/why-pm-modi-s-one-million-jobs-by-2023-target-is-fraught-with-challenges-1962818-2022-06-15\"><strong>10 lakh (1 million) jobs in the government<\/strong><\/a> to absorb youth. The second was the Agnipath scheme aimed to creating a younger, more tech savvy fighting force. Both schemes reflect the government\u2019s growing concern over two very key aspects \u2013 the level of urban male unemployment, and the inability of the private sector to create jobs (not gigs) for large numbers of young men and women coming out of the education system every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Government\u2019s own data, published as the <a href=\"https:\/\/mospi.gov.in\/documents\/213904\/301563\/Quarterly%20Bulletin%20PLFS%20January%20-%20March%202022_m1655370580105.pdf\/037f143a-8242-7a7d-244f-fd32d72fafa1\"><strong>Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS)<\/strong><\/a>, educated youth unemployment is worrying.\u00a0 The labour force participation rate in January to March 2022 was 38.2% compared to 38.4% in the same period last year. Even if you excluded women participation (a measly 17.3%) and only looked at the men entering the workforce \u2013 that number stood at 57% &#8211; meaning that 43% of young men \u00a0had no regular income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"351\" data-attachment-id=\"8364\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/calamur.org\/gargi\/2022\/10\/29\/column-inflation-unemployment-and-the-agniveer-backlash\/image-8-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-8.png?fit=675%2C370&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"675,370\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-8\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-8.png?fit=640%2C351&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-8.png?resize=640%2C351\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-8.png?w=675&amp;ssl=1 675w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-8.png?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/mospi.gov.in\/documents\/213904\/301563\/Quarterly%20Bulletin%20PLFS%20January%20-%20March%202022_m1655370580105.pdf\/037f143a-8242-7a7d-244f-fd32d72fafa1\">PLFS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last decade has seen a drastic reduction in ability of the non-agricultural sector \u2013 construction, industry, MSME \u2013 to absorb school and college leavers. The Indian economy has seen a massive disruption the last decade or so \u2013 starting with demonetisation, followed by GST, and then by the pandemic and severe lockdowns. The greatest distress has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/article\/finance\/micro-small-and-medium-enterprises-staring-at-enduring-financial-distress-122032700847_1.html\"><strong>in the MSME sector<\/strong><\/a>, and that has seen a knock on effect on employment. Margins are squeezed, as are wages. Jobs are tenuous, and the gig economy can only accommodate so many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Narendra Modi Government, looking for its 3<sup>rd<\/sup> term in office is going to face a massive anti-incumbency problem. And the core issue for the 2024 elections is likely to be around employment. While it is up to the opposition if they can capitalise on the sense of fear of extended joblessness amongst the youth, the bigger challenge is for the Modi government to be seen to do something about the employment problem. An increasing income divide is apparent \u2013 as is the restiveness amongst the youth. Ultimately unless India can offer the hope of a better tomorrow for people and their families, at an individual level, there will be chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the perils of excessive hiring by the state is a mounting wage bill, benefits bill, and pensions bill. And what is odd is that while the government looked at increasing government jobs \u2013 and therefore the wage &amp; pensions bills \u2013 for the centre and states through its 1 million government jobs instruction; it looked at just the opposite for the armed forces. Agnipath looks at a tour of duty concept, where youth (between 17 and 21) sign up for a 4-year contract. At the end of the contract 25% will be absorbed into permanent jobs \u2013 and the remaining 75% will be given a lump sum of around Rs.12 lakhs to make their own way in life. It is hoped that this scheme would not just save the armed forces huge pension bills, but also allow it to have a younger fighting force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the first scheme has been received with relative silence, except for some voices asking how you would prepare these 1 million for careers, and where will they be absorbed \u2013 the Agnipath scheme has been met with agitation and violence. We have all seen images of trains being burnt across the country, and young men protesting with anger and stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What has been stunning has been the Government\u2019s unpreparedness in terms of the response from the youth. In a country where a government job is aspirational, you have just told a whole bunch of army aspirants that their hope of a permanent job is subject to a lottery 4 years later. Where 1 in every 4 young jawans will be absorbed into the army, and the rest \u2013 despite a golden handshake \u2013 would be left to the vagaries of the job market. How could advisors and policymakers be so removed from citizens, their hopes and fears, and aspirations \u2013 to not know how people will react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the Agnipath scheme was announced \u2013 and the protests began \u2013 there have been at least half a dozen amendments. This includes relaxing the upper age limit. 10% reservation in state police, and Central armed police forces, 10% reservation in MoD, and other benefits. It is astounding that the Government did not, on a policy document that was under discussion for at least 2 years \u2013 did not have a more systematic communication programme \u2013 informing youngsters and other key stakeholders of the benefits of this. Be it the farm laws or the Agnipath plan, the government has not just been unable to get key stakeholder backing for key reforms, it has managed to rile the very community that it claims it wants to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a problem with living in an echo chamber. You believe that the world thinks just like you, and therefore the need for building consensus is unnecessary. Unfortunately, keeping stakeholders on board is vital. Often at a policy level all the major institutionalised stakeholders are consulted \u2013 military experts, universities, think tanks, &#8211; but the stakeholder community most impacted is left out. Unless the government builds confidence amongst youth that is desperate for a job that this scheme will give them a better future, it is going to be an uphill struggle. And that should have been done, before announcing the scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This appeared in the FPJ on the 20th of June Last week, the government announced two major initiatives.
