In western countries, minijobs, part time jobs are so popular but in eastern countries it is not. So instead of hiring 3-4 different shift part time workers, eastern companies try to hire full time just one worker then push extra work hours to him and not try to not pay salary of extra hours... So eastern or all countries should focus the creating part time jobs for decreasing unemployment rate (i think).

The shortfalls in education can be bridged by re-training people with just the essential skills - it's not going to need much training to be an assembler in a Foxconn or a Tesla factory. Problem is, no corporation is willing to invest in doing this, just as no government has invested in cheap housing for the masses of young people near job centers, who will gladly work if given the opportunity. Not to mention, most employees will not be faithful to the company that gave them industry relevant skills because of the desire for upward mobility. But it can be done if they all three parties come together. Also, agriculture should be made a profession that pays enough to sustain families - this is the real challenge.

[@herp_derpingson]

Education is not just about training essential skills. Education from an early age conditions the child to be diligent at his work, make less mistakes and be punctual. All these boost the general productivity of any worker. Specific knowledge can be put in when necessary.

It’s actually on the cards. The National Education Policy 2020 is finally commencing in the academic year 2024 (New syllabus, New Textbooks, Subjects and Semester system). It gives a lot of freedom to students to choose between subjects they want to study and exams and also has a hands on approach with internships (engineering, healthcare, vocational in MSMEs) in high school.

Some of the smartest people I know are from India, unfortunately some others I've met had fake degrees and were terrible to work with. One guy I knew had a PhD in computer science yet was coding at a grade school level, yet he insisted he was a genius and got mad whenever anyone found bugs in his work (which was almost his entire code). Sad thing was he was being paid over 400K and they wouldnt fire him and get someone qualified.

[@user-pakshibhithi10]

Why was he being paid $400K? Didn't his co-workers say anything about him to the employer?

[@alimfuzzy]

@user-pakshibhithi10 most of them didn't know how much he got paid but I did. It was actually a contractor rate so his agent probably took a sizable chunk of it. In australia it's actually very hard to be fired from white collar roles, especially if you have signed a high rate. I seem to recall they hired two grads to pick up the slack from his bad programming, and he was brought in as an architect but we quickly found out he didn't know how so our dev lead took over that, even though it wasn't his wheelhouse.

[@user-pakshibhithi10]

@@alimfuzzy So, the employer was willing to pay the two other employees AND keep this useless person employed? Because it was a contractor rate he was immune to being fired, am I right? And, do frauds like that person get into these contractor rates or even genuine skilled workers also get into them? Because, that person was not qualified for his job, his agent was taking a huge chunk of his salary. That is just bribery. So he just bribed someone to get that job, right?

[@alimfuzzy]

@user-pakshibhithi10 I don't know why he was hired. On paper he definitely had a PhD, and probably a lot of other qualifications and was probably very impressive in the interviews. The agent is a recruiter. They would put contractors forward to companies. There's nothing shady about it or bribery, that's how they work. I'm just telling you how things work, once your hired there are lots of workers protections in Australia, so you can't just fire someone if you have it in your contract that says other avenues must be explored first, usually changing roles or probation. If you do get "fired" then you have to buy out the contract and also probably a hefty severence. The only thing we did was not renew his contract but he's probably somewhere else do the same thing. That's why I am very dubious about Indian qualifications. I now do the hiring for my teams, and I'm also a contractor (so I know how much agencies take). Unfortunately a lot of people lie about their qualifications and aren't found out until it's too late. Say what you will about the saying, it's not what you know but who, but anyone who's been recommended to me by my friends and colleagues have always turned out to be solid.

The negative environmental impact of human activity has just increased dramatically in the last decades to the point of fearing it would ruin the livability of Earth for us little by little over the long term. So did it not turn out to be catastrophic? I believe that with better innovation, Earth can still sustain probably a bit higher population but not with the way it is living today.

Yeah I agree - the assessment that the planet is/has coped is at once subjective, and also premature - as masses of populations move from poverty or low income into middle class the amount of waste produced has historically trended exponentially (changes in emissions output can be harder to interpret but waste is more straightforward) and waste is energy intensive and necessary to deal with (more energy intensive as time goes by as the urgency to recycle *properly* increases, and I'm not talking about the mickey mouse recycling our societies and corporations have been engaged in so far)

[@infocenter5]

There are so many reasons as to why Indians leave india, these are a few: 1) Good quality of life abroad: These include good work life balance, clean spaces, very manageable traffic, etc. 2) Less Corruption: The Indian bureaucracy is highly corrupt at every level and dealing with administrative tasks can be an absolute pain leading to offering bribes everywhere to get things done. 3) A better sense of respect directed towards other people as well as civil rules put in place which ensure the smooth running of society in general. 4) High Trust: People are generally honest and rely on trust to get work done. This is not something that I've seen in India. We can't trust anyone completely and fear that they may stab us in the back when the time comes. This may often lead to micro-management. 5) Equal opportunity: There is no caste/reservation system. Everyone gets equal opportunity to get what they want (no discrimination against your caste/religion/beliefs/etc). 6) Population: Because there is way less population, everything is more manageable (the lesser people you have it becomes easier to manage a nation - lesser infrastructure required, can focus on quality rather than quantity in general in all aspects) 7) Lack of Open & Clean spaces to spend time with friends/family. Being overcrowded means that there are very few green/open spaces. 8) A better focus given towards pursuing your extra curricular activities. (sports/camping/travelling/etc) In India, for most people our only choice is an engineer, doctor Or a Lawyer (I know its a stereotype but it holds true very well from a global, nation-wide perspective. We also work longer hours and can be expected very frequently to work on the weekends depending the type of job you have). This also a good Segway to say that all types of work are respected. People don't look down on you if you don't have a high flying/high paying job. Here, Work is truly Worship.

the education system , vocational trainings, ease of doing business needs to be fundamentally changed. I was born and raised in India but then due to lack of opportunities in 2010s era had to move out to survive , given the skillset I had acquired. Another issue is that the existing labor laws that limits actual "high delivery" employees from delivering at their best ( recognition of merit over slogging, hours served etc.). My view is limited to supply chain ( trucking and shipments), technology development and agro based exports. There needs to an element of regular training and non financial support in place for existing workforce to scale up from time to time. I am to understand the current govt is trying for some of the above , but true change only happens when all parties involved ( private sector, policy makers and undergrads ) see the merit in it. the video does a great job in mentioning the mistakes made by china and Japan and there are some great learning lessons there to be noted.

The whole issue with demographics is that the effects, good and bad, are based on the current economic models that were created in an environment of rising population. As mentioned, you don't even have to innovate to grow. But this was never going to last. Automation and innovation tend to lower the need for raw human input. Take farming in the US. When I moved to the American Midwest, I got more acquainted with it through relatives. Over thirty years I have been here, the percentage of the population involved in agriculture has shrunk from 10% to 3%. Similar things happen in other fields. New ideas have to be embraced, with goals clearly set out. That is going to take some very serious conversations at a societal level. As for India, they are on a perilous path If they try to follow China. They will fail. One of China's biggest problems is poverty. China has 600 million people living on about $140 per month. If India does not solve the poverty problem, all the space missions and nuclear weapons in the world will not matter. The US has been successful in technology, including things like space and military technology because they were already a rich country. A space program, for example, does not make a country rich.

Foreign investment is a finite quantity. Foreign investors have a range of opportunity to choose from and if India doesn't offer a better investment than the alternative, that investment is going to go somewhere else. Just having a very large potential workforce won't entice foreign investment if the salaries for those workers are higher than salaries in other countries, who also are competing for those investments. Even if India can be cost competitive on salaries, other factors come into play, such as work ethic, worker integrity, and the overall quality of the work done. Not sure India can compete on those factors relative to all the other countries that are also on the market for those jobs.

The thing is most of the people are educated but the education they got is quiet outdated. Like syllabus or courses we get to learn are not required in the industry. Also instead of making people getting interest in the newer and exciting subjects, they just study for getting degree just for the name's sake. The one who are there outside of India are some of the most skilled people of India. See, it's like a loop. Companies are not coming because there are not highly skilled people and the ones who are highly skilled are not getting jobs because there are not much companies. But I feel things will change with the adoption of new education system which we might be getting in coming years and also the startups and cheap internet will also help people to gain the skills required the the jobs.

Lower fertility rate is a bigger issue than population boom. I don’t think any ruler can pull off one child policy like china as india is a democracy, it was tried but failed miserably due to people rioting. Tiananmen Square is not really reproducible in India. India should have a two child policy as standard but that is also an issue since democracy is a numbers game and some communities will see it as an opportunity to increase their number to get more political power.
