The main causes responsible for unemployment in India are:
  1. Rapid growth of population in the economy has been a major cause. As a matter of fact the number of unemployeds have actually increased overtime rather than decreasing.
  2. Rate of economic growth has been quite slower than what was anticipated, basically because of faulty planning.
  3. Shortage of financial resources has been a big hindrance in employment generation. Further this had been augmented by the increasing control of the government for many years.
