For some reason the Indian government feels a suffocating and wasteful Soviet style beurocracy provides all the jobs they need. In fact, their beurocracy makes the Indian economy suffer the death of 10,000 cuts as these myriad small tasks,(permits, fees etc) drain the blood of the economy to the earth.
Try and eliminate one and a furor of gored private interests arises - those who gather these fees and exert control of their little turf.
This is just what the USA threw off with independance in 1776 - and soon the USA took part in their industrial revolution, and so did the UK when they also freed part of their economy from the bemeath royal foot.
India is going to descend into a morass of unfed and uneducated masses unless they find a way.
There are glimmers of hope as segments gather freedom. They should copy China and do China 10 better - will they?
Unemployment is there because people are there. So should we not control population? There are so many people in India it scares me as to what will happen when there will be a recession?
It's good that India has good family values. People will help each other out. I think the answer is to control population growth and innovation. Maybe create new cities? Last time i visited Pune and Mumbai i was shocked at the state of traffic.
Assuming the most benign meaning of "population control", the best way to decrease the birth rate is to increase quality of life. Birth rates go down as quality of life, financial/food security, and female workforce participation go up.
That's why most developed nations have the opposite problem: they'll eventually not have enough babies to maintain growth and pay for the care of the elderly.
The government has no plan/vision regarding fighting this issue. Even none of the parties fighting the 2019 elections is bothered. Instead everyone is concerned about Hindu vs Muslims and Pakistan. India's democracy's weakest part is its citizens who are so easy to manipulate.
