Ways and means to remove unemployment in Society of Bangladesh removal of unemployment is the responsibility of the state. The Constitutional of Bangladesh has the “Directive Principles” of the State and enjoined this duty on the State Government.In Society we have already seen that there is a good deal of unemployment. This removal of unemployment is necessary for the prosperity of the nation. For this, the following steps have to be taken:
1) Improvement in the agricultural system: We have
already seen that the agricultural system in Bangladesh
a) Holding should be consolidated and made economic.
b) Methods of agriculture should be improved and as
far as possible farmers should be freed from dependence on nature.
c) System of crops should be planned scientifically
and improved. If more crops earned they would provide more employment.
d) The farmers should be provided with good seed,
good fertilizer, healthy animals, modern implements and tools etc.
2) Adequate arrangement of facilities of irrigation:
In villages the agriculture very much depends on nature. If rains fail, the
crops are destroyed. This brings about a good deal of unemployment. Methods of
irrigation should be made more modern. They should also be adequate so that it
may be possible for people to water their fields.
3) Increasing the area of cultivable land: To day in
the villages there is a great pressure on land. The area under cultivation is
not sufficient to provide food to all the people of this country. Barren land
should be broken and made fertile. Other methods should also be made for
improving the area of cultivable land which is not normally fit for
agriculture, also be improved and made fit. This would remove unemployment in
the villages.
4) Setting up and develop the cottage and village
industries: In village, people have seasonal employment in agriculture. Apart
from it all the persons do not have avenues for the employment. What is needed
is to set up of industries so that those who do not have land are employed in
it. Apart from it, the agriculturalists during dull season should get
employment in these industries. Women and land less laborers shall also be able
to get employment if industries are set up.
5) Improving the means of transport and
communication: In villages there is need to have proper roads and places where
offices and stores for seeds etc, may be set up. Public construction should be
undertaken in the villages to provide employment to the idle hands. This would
improve the employment position in the village. Apart from it, it would also
add to the prosperity of the villages.
6) Construction of public Transports, Roads etc: It
is necessary to improve the means of transport and communication. This would
have two fold advantages. Firstly, the village people shall be able to send
their products to markets for sale and secondly, they shall also be able to go
to such other places where they can get employment. Apart from it, this would
also provide employment to many persons who shall engage themselves in the task
of transporting these people.
7) Organization of the agricultural market: There is
need to organize markets for the agricultural product. At present, there is
dearth of such market. This situation creates difficulties for the
agriculturalists. On the one hand, they are not able to get proper price and on
the other hand they have to suffer from other handicaps. If markets are
organized, they would provide employment to certain hands and also help the
agriculturalists to get proper price for their labor.
