Covid-19 pandemic has created a huge unemployment in the world. Around 200 Million people have lost their jobs in the world due to Coronavirus. Almost all the country is facing the same problem. It’s a global recession all over the world. India is badly effected.
There are around 12.2 crore employees in India have lost their jobs due to Covid-19 pandemic. The current employment rate in India is around 27%.
According to researchers Covid-19 would be at peak in India in June-July. How would the govt handle it ? It seems lakhs of people would die of starvation and helplessness before coronavirus would kill them . We have seen the condition of the poor and the Labourers in few days. They are facing an extreme problem.
Even middle class or salaried class people particularly who are in jobs like IT , BPO , Travel & tourism and hospitality sectors are losing their jobs. The companies are laying off staffs despite the warning of the govt. But they don’t have fear of law because there’s no such law in our country which is strongly in the favour of the employees/workers. India’s unemployment rate rate will subsequently grow in few months according to prediction if the govt doesn’t do anything for this. Because there’s no job outside, and the companies/ organisations are creating redundancy by laying off which may grim the situation more. But the govt seems to be in sleep mode over this issue.
In which category the govt would put such people who were laid off from jobs in March and still unemployed , they don’t have job in hand , and have no money ? Does the govt have any plan for this rising situation ? Will they help these unemployed people ? I think govt is mute over such questions of 27% people who are asking from the govt. The govt must be serious on the unemployment which is being created by organisations/companies amidst lockdown, or else which is 27% today, tomorrow may be 40% or more, and it will be an another pandemic like situation in the country of 135 crore people.
It seems Covid-19 may not go soon ,but the govt have to something and ensure that economy will be sustained and the new opportunities of employment will be created so that the redundant people will get jobs and earn their livelihood.

I think unemployment has been hit everywhere in the World. I did not have a job for 3 months from March to May due to COVID as most of my interviews that were lined up were put on hold. I agree that the government must come up with some kind of plan or relief to tackle this.

Hey, I totally agree with you. In fact, I even had a guest poem written on my blog related to work from home employees. The unemployment rate is going up like crazy. Hopefully, it should come down considering June 8 being the day when offices can open,

This has been on my mind and unemployment is going to a big issue. The companies need to understand that laying off people won’t give them long term gain and the government also needs to take some concrete steps in this direction.
