Unemployment has become a big problem but no one seems to be very serious in tackling it. On the contrary, politicians, who are in election mode, are talking about giving doles, freebies and cash. One party has gone to the extent of promising unemployment allowance to those unemployed until they get jobs. The important question is how will the unemployed get employment without creating meaningful jobs. Instead of giving unemployment allowances, it makes more sense to create job opportunities. First of all, we Goans are branded as ‘susegad’. Unemployment allowances will make them more lazy and dependent. The central government has launched so many schemes to make India a manufacturing hub. This is the best chance to take the benefit and come up with good industries in Goa so that our youth can get jobs. People should not fall for the bait of government jobs thrown by politicians. How many people can get government jobs in a small state like Goa?
