Unemployment refers to situations where capable and willing workers are unable to find employment. It is a major economic problem faced by developing countries like India. There are several types of unemployment including frictional, structural, cyclical, and search unemployment. Common causes of unemployment in India include rapid population growth, changing technology, demand for skilled labor, global competition, and illiteracy. Proposed solutions to unemployment in India focus on promoting entrepreneurship, improving education and skills, strengthening the rural economy, promoting digitalization, reducing informal employment, and improving access to credit.
