The road to employment became more difficult for the youth of India

Even before the arrival of Corona, there was a big question all over the world that how will there be employment in the coming days, where will it be found and who will get whom?

The couple who received the Nobel Prize in Economics, Abhijeet Banerjee and Esther Duffalo had already said that now governments around the world will have to make arrangements to support their large population, because there will be no employment for all.

There was a big debate on whether artificial intelligence means artificial intelligence

What can happen through it and what are the people, whose jobs will not be able to go into the hands of a computer or a robot.

On the one hand, industrialists from all over the world were dreaming of a connected factory and a fully machined business, while on the other hand society and governments were worried about how to manage the employment of millions of youth.

Yuvalal Nora Harari in his important book 21 Lessons for the 21st century, which ranks 21 lessons of the 21st century, is second only to employment and this alarming warning to today’s new generation – ‘When you grow up you might have No job!

Although they believe that in the near future computers and robots may not make humans unemployed on a large scale, but this fear is not too far-fetched.

He was imagining the world of 2050.

What is the reason behind calling the data ‘new oil’?

Similarly, Alec Ross added the challenges for the next 10 years. He read closely that during this period, the new technology that will come and the new discoveries or will be used, how our home, living and our office will change.

How the world will change, why data is being called the new oil and Ross’s book The Industries of the future is a kind of guide, drawing from computer programming to human programming. To survive not only in the fast changing world but also to keep making progress.

It also shows the power of data, the fear of Robo, the possibility of computer code being used as a weapon, the horror of virtual or cyber warfare in place of ground or sky fighting and the third world or developing countries. It is also a challenge for what they will be able to stand in their countries compared to the Silicon Valley of America, where the intelligence and skills of the youth can be used properly and they will be helpful in securing the future of their society.

But this whole story changed a lot in March 2020.

What was not to happen is done. People all over the world are facing the biggest crisis of history till date and all the apprehensions have come true, which was being imagined. More than half the world is in the grip of lockout simultaneously.

Closure of airlines, hotels, tourism and trains or buses all over the world together is unthinkable.

Along with this, the crisis of livelihood also deepened and the questions related to it also increased. The International Labor Organization, the ILO, is constantly calculating how Corona affected employment around the world.

At the end of April, he added that from the first quarter of this year i.e. January to March, nearly 18.5 million jobs were lost worldwide. This is the account of full time jobs, not of daily wage workers. But the fifth edition of his Corona report released in August shows a more frightening picture.

He says that the situation is much worse than it was thought. Between April and June, the second quarter of the year, 14 percent of the work was not done in the world, which is a loss equal to 48 crore jobs in a 40-hour week.

It is not told how much India’s share is in this, but in this report, in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh i.e. South Asia, in all three and a half crore jobs have been estimated in this three months.

What can happen next

The ILO has raised three possibilities.

If everything goes well, that is, the Corona crisis grows towards being resolved and the economy starts to return to track. Even then, between October and December, there will be a loss of 34 lakh jobs worldwide. If everything is not good, but the situation is not bad, then this number could be 14 crores.

If the situation worsens, then there are fears that 34 crore more people may have to lose their jobs. Which of the following is more likely to be true?

Nowhere in the world can anyone answer this. Ask all the experts, everyone has to say that you should tell us when the danger of Corona will end, after that we can answer every question. That is, no one has the answer.

Despite this, it is also possible to guess and prepare according to good or bad circumstances. As told in the beginning, the preparations for living in a new style were already going on in the new world, Corona has just increased its strength and speed.

So the biggest question at this time is how to save the lives of more and more people. And then comes the question of how to give employment to people or how to save the work of those who are in employment? And if the job goes away, then how should the new employment be arranged?

After Corona, this question has become even more serious because many businesses have come to a standstill. When it starts, then how much will be done, it is doubtful. And among those who have started moving, also where many jobs will come out and what kind of people will get work,

At this time, the most concern and discussion is happening.

There is a list of all the research reports that are coming out, of such works which are not affected by the Corona crisis. These mostly include FMCG, Agro Chemical, Chemical, E-Commerce, Healthcare, Hygiene, Logistics, Online Training and Education and IT.

With all this, keep government jobs. Especially in India.

But with this you can see a list. She belongs to those jobs, which are very important at this time. That is, there is no threat to the jobs of the people working in them, but their life itself is in danger. That too because of work.

It includes all the people who are on the front in the fight against Corona. That means doctors, nurses, hospital staff, police, cleaning staff, people working in pathology or diagnostic test centers and government staff working in the field.

There is also a demand of people here, good offers are being made to keep them, but the risk is also big.

Uncertainty is increasing continuously

It is being said again and again that the time has not come to reach any conclusion. But every time we hear this, it is known that the uncertainty is constantly increasing, that is, the sword is hanging on more jobs or jobs.

However, Manish Sabharwal, chairman of TeamLease, India’s largest staffing company, says, “It is not right to calculate the unemployment figures during the lockdown period. In this case, unemployment is always at the top on Sunday afternoon.”

This is to say that the real account of unemployment will be realized only when all the trades are started again and it is necessary that the corona be finished. Get her treatment or get the vaccine.

But one thing is certain now. The world will not be the same.

Even if the threat of Corona is averted, it will remain a shadow on our minds for many years to come and on our way of living and work. That means everything is going to change. And after this change, which business will be faster. Which will be dim? It is very important to understand this.

Estimate how worrying the situation is that TeamLease, which has been preparing the Employment Outlook report for the last several years, has changed the way of reading this time.

In this, the companies employed are asked how many people they are thinking of giving jobs. Till now, it was seen that the company is thinking of giving more or less jobs than the number of jobs it gave during the same half last year.

But this time, this question has changed so much that whether companies are considering giving jobs to anyone or not.

And in such a situation, the most important thing is that who will give jobs, who will give them and to whom. So the answer you can see with your own eyes is also in the report of all consultancy companies and institutions of study. That is, first and foremost, jobs will be found there, businesses are running fast.

It is reported that Amazon hired 50 thousand people in the month of May. Earlier, the company has announced that by 2025 it will employ 10 lakh people in India.

The speed with which people are buying from home in lockdown has an impact on e-commerce, companies running food delivery apps. Companies that make food, such as food items and soap oils without which you cannot live, also need staff.

Similarly, people need you for everything you want for work from home. Increasing use of internet and phone is also good news for telecom companies and there are employment opportunities. All companies want to save money at this time, so they need consultants.

Networking platform LinkedIn has made a list of 10 such selected works in a blog, in which people are still needed and in the coming time, there will be room for growth in them. These are – Software Engineer, Sales Representative, Project Manager, IT Administrator, Customer Service Specialist, Digital Marketer, IT Support or Help Desk, Data Analyst, Financial Analyst and Graphics Designer.

In this list, there can always be scope to reduce the sum. But recently, these are the works in which people engaged can play peacefully. Or new people may insist on learning these works.

But this is the story of the moment. In this, you can add all the work in healthcare, online education or training and e-commerce. Also, the logistics of transporting parcels or documents from one place to another, from trucks, trains and airplanes to the supply of food, groceries and liquor bottles within the city, is also going to be very fast.

But in the long run, how much of this work will go to the hands of robots or computers.

Atul Jalan’s book Where will Man take us? There is a brilliant commentary on the duality between man and his created technology and it also draws a blueprint of the coming world that scares you a little and gives you some encouragement.

Gartner, one of the world’s largest consulting companies, says that after Kovid, the course of work is going to change. Companies will get more and more work done by the temporary staff. Permanent jobs will continue to be minimized.

According to a research report on the post-corona situation, 32 percent of the companies are retrenching their staff to save money, replacing them with temporary or gig workers.

Psy (SCIKEY) is a talent commerce platform for similar people. That is, the new avatar of the job portal. He is also calculating the same and he also found that now the surety jobs will be very less and gig workers who work with assignment money will become real workers.

Digital and remote work will be faster, but together the salary will not be fixed, it will be up and down.

Apart from China, many other jobs can also be created for industrial workers in other countries of Asia, if factories coming out of China come here. Apart from this, many types of new jobs will be revealed and in the future, the emphasis of companies will be more on whether they meet their need or not than to see a degree or certificate.

With this, it will become necessary for the old people to keep learning new things constantly. And the youth coming directly from the college or university will also have to learn the skills required for the work itself, this custom is not going to last long that the companies will also teach work for two years after giving the job.

Preparations are also underway. In April, a LinkedIn survey revealed that 63% of people on the job are spending more time on e-learning. 60 percent want to increase their knowledge about the industry they are in, while 57 percent want to learn their tricks. There are also 45% people who are trying to keep their point in the right way or improve communication skills.

How much color their effort will bring depends on the companies where they work. Deloitte has created a big challenge for those companies this year. He says that companies will have to look into their communities and see that when humans and technology are seen standing face to face, then how can a company maintain its humanity even in the midst of technology competition.

And perhaps from this, the companies of the world will also come forward, who along with earning, keep doing something that can keep them ‘Great Places to Work’.
