Government Employment & Economic Perspective - Government should focus on core functions like infrastructure, healthcare, and education, rather than being seen as the primary solution to employment [4][13][28][32] - Over-reliance on government jobs is detrimental to the country and its youth, as the real work and innovation lie in the market [31][35] - Jobs are fundamentally created by fulfilling societal needs through the production of goods and services, not by government decree [16][17][34] - India's education system needs transformation to prioritize usable, employable skills, similar to South Korea and Germany [25][26][27][33] - A cultural shift is needed to value all productive work and focus on competence, not just job security within the government sector [33] Labor Market & Wage Disparity - Government jobs in India can absorb only about 1% of the annual influx of young people entering the job market (12 million/year), highlighting the limited capacity of the public sector [8] - In the past 8 years, only 720,000 people (7.2% of applicants) were selected for government jobs out of 220 million applicants [7] - Government wages in India are significantly higher (181 rupees for every 100 rupees in the private sector) for the same work, without corresponding outcomes [10][18] - A service delivery crisis exists in India, with the country ranking poorly on global indicators compared to other large economies [29][30][31]
