Question Description
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.Over the last few months, the Government of India and the mainstream media have highlighted the return of economic growth. However, very little attention has been paid to the job market. Indias unemployment rate has been soaring. It went up to 7.91 per cent in December 2021 from 6.3 per cent in 2018-2019 and 4.7 per cent in 2017-18, when the trend started to change — a sign that this phenomenon is not just due to Covid. In urban areas, this has gone up to 9.30 per cent in December 2021 from 8.09 per cent in January 2021. In rural areas, it has gone up to 7.28 per cent against 5.81 per cent. The quality of jobs is also at stake. The percentage of salaried people has dropped from 21.2 per cent in 2019-2020 to 19 per cent in 2021, which means that 9.5 million people have left the salariat and become jobless or part of the informal sector. Certainly, there are variations among Indian states. As per CMIE data, the unemployment rate in December 2021 was the highest in Haryana (34.1 per cent), followed by Rajasthan (27.1 per cent), Jharkhand (17.3 per cent) and Bihar (16 per cent). There are also age-wise and gender-based variations. Unemployment among women is higher than men, both in urban and rural areas. For women, the average unemployment was 14.28 per cent and for men, it was 7.88 per cent. Moreover, the deep roots of patriarchy apparently limit womens labour participation in India. Unemployment in India has undeniably reached a critical stage and perhaps, raises serious questions on the quality of the economic recovery, which the third wave of the pandemic may affect anyway, making joblessness an even more acute problem. However, the employment scene can improve only with the help of private investment.[Extracted with edits and revisions from Opinion, The Indian Express]Q.Which of the following, if true, would bolster the authors argument that job quality is also a concern?a)According to CMIE data for 2018-21, the unemployment rate in the formal sector was higher than that in the informal sector.b)Companies are creating more job opportunities in rural areas than in urban areas.c)Records indicate that a majority of rejected job applicants were from northern states like Haryana.d)All of these options.Correct answer is option 'A'.
