Question

Over and above economic problem, unemployment is also a serious social problem. Explain.

Vidyadip · Accepted Answer

An unemployed person is economically dependent on others.

Since he does not earn he cannot spend. This reduces the sale of goods in the market which then decreases production, economic growth and consumption.
An unemployed person cannot live in society with dignity. Such people lose motivation and vigour to live a good, healthy and successful life.
In many cases such people even turn to theft, robbery and other crimes to earn their respect and money. This disturbs the social set-up.
Hence, the problem of unemployment may not only restrict to an economic problem but may also lead to social, ethical and political problems.
