Inadequate data on jobs a policy hurdle: Joshi panel

-Hindustan Times

Creation of jobs, or the lack of a sufficient number of them, has moved to the centre stage of political discourse ahead of the upcoming general elections.

New Delhi: The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s National Career Portal — the revamped employment exchange — managed to find 707,000 jobs in 2016-17, or jobs for just 1.8% of the 39.1 million people registered with it, Parliament’s Estimates Committee has observed, HT learns.

The panel led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran Murli Manohar Joshi is expected to submit its report on measuring growth, employment and income in the upcoming budget session of Parliament even as at least three BJP MPs in the committee have rejected the report and submitted dissent notes.

The committee, HT learns, has criticised the labour ministry and the ministry of statistics and programme implementation (Mospi) for the lack of adequate and real-time data to monitor unemployment. It is apparently upset that the most recent period for which accurate employment data is available seems to be 2011-12, that there is very little data from the private and unorganised sectors, and on skilled and unskilled jobs.

Creation of jobs, or the lack of a sufficient number of them, has moved to the centre stage of political discourse ahead of the upcoming general elections.The Congress and other Opposition parties have accused the Narendra Modi government of failing to live up to its 2014 promise of creating millions of jobs to absorb new entrants into the workforce and power economic growth.
