The Hidden Challenge of Unemployment on Family Units in the North East India

Abstract

The facts regarding the prevalence and impact of unemployment on families are examined in this essay. Wives make up a sizable portion of the unemployed even though their unemployment rate is relatively low (in 1998, they accounted for 36.2% of all unemployed adult). For single parents, unemployment is a significant problem. As a result, almost one-third of parents of dependent children experience unemployment. The unemployment rate of families is also examined. Unemployment-affected families frequently endure difficulty and suffering, damaged relationships, poorer health (though the reasons aren't always clear), and stress from housing. Unemployment may also have a detrimental effect on children's development and employment opportunities. A few policy issues are discussed, including the need to preserve the living circumstances of unemployed families and the implementation of several initiatives aimed at reducing the unemployment rate. They also talk about shared responsibilities and the trend toward low-paying erratic jobs.
