Some people believe that the government should help the unemployed ona weekly basis. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your own opinion.

Unemployment is becoming a major problem all over the world. Even in some developed nations, the rate of unemployment is high.

This

is sometimes attributed to the financial recession that gripped the world during the

first

decade of

this

century. While the situation improved considerably over the

last

few years, a lot of people who had been laid off by their previous employers are still out of work. Some people feel that the

government

should give them weekly financial allowances. I don’t think that

this

is a viable solution. To start with, if governments were to provide financial

assistance

to every unemployed person, they would have little money to run the country. Most nations already have several welfare schemes for the jobless and the governments certainly offer some financial

assistance

through these schemes. Of course, these nominal financial aids are unlikely to solve the financial woes of the jobless. I won’t blame the governments for these because there is a limit to the amount of money they can spend. In most

cases unemployment

cases, unemployment

is the result of the lack of skills. People who

possess skills that the

Suggestion

possess the skills that

industry demands will have no difficulty finding jobs. Yes, the recession wiped away many jobs.

However

, there are still several sectors that need skilled manpower.

Instead

of doling out financial

assistance

to jobless people, the

government

should run free training programs and camps where the jobless can pick up skills.

This

will provide a lasting solution to

this

problem. The

government

should

also

create awareness about the dignity of labour. The unemployment rates in India are high.

This

is not really caused by the dearth of job.

Rather it

Rather, it

is a result of misplaced notions of dignity. The educated middle class Indians will only accept white collar jobs. If the jobless take up manual jobs, the nation will become much more prosperous. To conclude, giving weekly financial

assistance

to the jobless will not increase the GDP of a nation. It is never a solution.

Instead

of giving people money, the

government

should provide free training that will increase their employability.
