Government on Wednesday said that around seven crore people in the country were either unemployed or under-employed.

"As per results of the latest survey conducted by the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) during 2009-10, the number of unemployed or under-employed persons on usual status basis in the country was 95 lakh and about six crore, respectively," the Union labour and employment minister Mallikarjun Kharge said in the Rajya Sabha during the Question Hour.

The government has been making continuous efforts by focusing on creation of productive employment at a faster pace in order to raise incomes of masses with the aim of bringing about a general improvement in their living conditions, he said.

"The job opportunities are created on account of growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), investment in infrastructure development, growth in exports, etc," Kharge said.

Replying to a supplementary, the minister said though there was a system of involving industry in drafting course curricula and their revision, possibility of mismatch between demand and supply in the labour market still remains.

"No demand surveys are conducted by the government. However, National Skill Development Corporation conducted a study for 21 high growth sectors which has estimated, skilled manpower requirement of 34.7 crore up to 2022," he said.

To another query, Kharge said government was not considering any proposal to grant unemployment allowance.
