Abstract
Haryana has a high population density, and the population continues to grow. This has put pressure on available job opportunities and contributed to unemployment. While Haryana has witnessed industrial growth, agriculture still plays a significant role in the state's economy. Seasonal and underemployment in the agriculture sector contributes to overall unemployment figures. Overreliance on certain sectors, such as agriculture and traditional industries has limited the variety of job opportunities available. Economic diversification can help create a broader range of employment options. Inadequate infrastructure, especially in rural areas, has limited the ability of businesses to establish themselves and create jobs. Unemployment can have a range of negative effects on individuals, families, communities, and the economy as a whole. In the context of Haryana, where unemployment is a concern, these negative effects can be particularly pronounced. Addressing the issue of unemployment in Haryana requires a comprehensive approach that involves improving education and skill development programs, promoting economic diversification, encouraging entrepreneurship, attracting industries that can provide jobs, and implementing policies that support job creation and economic growth. It's important for the government, private sector, and civil society to work together to find sustainable solutions to this challenge. However, the Govt. of Haryana has launched various welfare schemes for employment of the youth of Haryana. This paper deals with various employment and poverty alleviation schemes that have been implemented in Haryana so far.
