Last such survey was conducted during 2009-10.   But this survey does not provide any information to assess reasons of unemployment in the country. However, the survey provides information at the national level about the reasons of loss of employment for those who were ever employed.  Reasons for break in employment included in the survey were:  loss of earlier job, quit earlier job, lay-off without pay, unit closed, lack of work in the enterprises, lack of work in the area etc. Government has been making continuous efforts to provide employment to unemployed people through normal growth process and by implementing various employment generation programmes, such as, Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rojgar Yojana, Swarnajayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural  Employment Guarantee Act and Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme in addition to various entrepreneurial development programmes run by Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium enterprises. However,to provide  employment  to the urban and uneducated people during 2012-13 no such target has been fixed so far.

This information was given by the Union Labour & Employment Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge in reply              to a written question in the Rajya Sabha today.
