goods and services is rising and, consequently, the
purchasing power of currency is falling

3.28 per cent year-on-year in
September 2017, unchanged

17.7 million last year to 17.8 million in 2017 and 18
million next year.
In percentage terms, unemployment rate will remain
at 3.4 per cent in 2017-18.
India had performed slightly well in terms of job
creation in 2016, when a "majority" of the 13.4
million new employment created in Southern Asia
happened in the country.
India's 7.6 per cent growth in 2016 helped Southern
Asia achieve 6.8 per cent growth that year.

is an index that places a third of weight on
proportion of the population that is estimated to
be undernourished, a third on the estimated
prevalence of low body weight to height ratio in
children younger than five, and remaining third
weight on the proportion of children dying before
the age of five for any reason.

neighbours in South Asia, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are

amounting to $102.1 billion, between 1945 and 2015 (as on July

the last two decades, making it the worst
performer on this count of all emerging
economies
• The top 10% of wage earners now make 12 times
more than the bottom 10%, up from a ratio of six
in the 1990s.

from 7.25%, with economists having forecast it would trim rates
to 7%.

commercial banks.
40. The bank has been under pressure
to boost growth after inflation hit a
record low of 3.6% in August due to

45. Conclusion
• India is one of the runners in the global economy. As being
relatively new to the market economy and already achieved
impressive results in many sectors, it still has a great potential for
future development. To achieve future expansion India has to
implement certain changes.
• First of all, India needs to improve its inflation control since
inflation remains one of the barriers to the development and
growth.
• t is also very important to improve governance, introduce
credible fiscal policy, and continue with liberalization of financial
markets.
46. • As it was mentioned earlier in the report India needs to
improve the social sector, raise educational standards as
well as the quality of education.
• One of the other obstacles on the way to economic growth is
infrastructure that remains an issue. However, it is a great
opportunity for investments.
• Sustainability is another important factor to consider in order
to develop the country in a more efficient and beneficial way.
If India manages to improve and implement all these points, it will
ensure a good, strong, long-term growth for the country.
