What is unemployment in context to india?
Mumz [18]

Unemployment exists when people who are willing to work at the going wages cannot find jobs. It can be explained as below:

The workforce population includes people from 15 to 59 years. Therefore, if people below 15 years and above 59 years do not have a job, they cannot be called unemployed.

In India, unemployment can be categorized as in rural and urban areas. Further, rural unemployment includes seasonal and disguised unemployment and urban unemployment includes educated unemployment.

What ways can the government ensure that the help it offers is received only by the people who are in need
marishachu [46]
Put a system in place that sets the poverty level and anyone under that level can receive aide.  Also make sure that the person is providing proof of needs.  They should have to prove their income, their bills, their debt, and their need. They need to verify information has not changed after a specific time frame.  So they need to be sure that they are monitoring the people who have aide and how they are using it.  Like if you were making less than 10,000 a year and now you make 24,000; you would not qualify anymore.
