Youth's Story in the world of Recession

The Engineer boy who goes to the big city, attracted by the easy nature of the work (real or imaginary), by shorter hours, but most of all by the dazzling light emanating from the metropolis, is accustomed to a certain security in the matter of livelihood. He leaves his old job only when there is at least some prospect of a new one. For there is a great lack of Technical workers, hence the probability of any long period of unemployment is in itself small. It is a mistake to believe that the young fellow who goes to the big city is made of poorer stuff than his brother who continues to make an honest living from the Farmer sod. No, on the contrary: experience shows that all those elements which emigrate consist of the healthiest and most energetic natures, rather than conversely. Yet among these 'emigrants' we must count, not only those who go to America, but to an equal degree the young farmhand who resolves to leave his native village for the strange city. He, too, is prepared to face an uncertain fate. As a rule he arrives in the big city with a certain amount of money; he has no need to lose heart on the very first day if he has the ill fortune to find no work for any length of time. But it is worse if, after finding a job, A recession comes and he soon loses it. To find a new one, especially in an Economic meltdown, is often difficult if not impossible. Even so, the first weeks are tolerable. He receives an unemployment benefit from his Final settlements and manages as well as possible. But when his last Rupee is gone and the Bank, due to the long duration of his unpayment, discontinues its credit card facilities, great hardships begin. Now he walks the streets, hungry; often he pawns and sells his last possessions; Works in call centre; his clothing, Voice, Physique becomes more and more wretched; and thus he sinks into external surroundings which, on top of his physical misfortune, also poison his soul. If he is evicted and if (as is so often the case) this occurs in loneliness, his misery is very great. At length he finds some sort of job again. But the old story is repeated. The same thing happens a second time, the third time perhaps it is even worse, and little by little he learns to bear the eternal insecurity with greater and greater indifference. At last the repetition becomes a habit.
And so this man, who was formerly so hard-working, grows lax in his whole view of life and gradually becomes the instrument of those who use him only for their own base advantage. He has so often been unemployed through no fault of his own that one time more or less ceases to matter, even when the aim is no longer to fight for economic rights, but to destroy political, social, or cultural values in general. He may not be exactly enthusiastic about strikes, but at any rate he has become indifferent.
Who can solve this problem? Who can give our young blood an enthusiasm towards his career?
It's the Government..
But the government Which 50%(approx. voting percentage) of India(so called) choose is just busy distributing ministeries and powers to it's friends and supporters. No one has time to think of the gresh graduate who wants to live his life in peace. There is no law to safeguard his job.
Our new Labour and Employement Minister Mr. Harish Rawat must look into the matter and should protect the rights of the young. This will also help in avoiding these young gutts from going into the World of Crime.
