Does modernisation as a planning objective create contradiction in the light of employment generation? Explain. |
|
Answer» No, modernisation as a planning objective does not contradict employment generation. In fact, both modernisation and employment generation are positively correlated. By modernization we mean adoption of new technology to increase the production of goods and services. This does not cut down the employment generation opportunity. On the contrary, it facilitate the manpower in their works, provided the human resources are properly trained. The use of modern technology and input will raise the productivity and, consequently, the income of the people. This will further raise the demand for goods and services. In order to fulfill this increased demand, there will be more job opportunities that will lead more people to be hired and, hence, more employment opportunities will be generated. Hence, both modernisation and employment generation are not contradictory but are complementary to each other. |
