Eradicating Unemployment!

Choosing Action Over Complaints: Our Decision to Take Control

Imagine waking up each day to uncertainty, the weight of the unknown pressing down on you as you search for a means to contribute, to survive. This is a daily reality for millions around the globe caught in the snare of unemployment—a condition not just of economic concern but of profound personal despair.

Current Unemployment Scenario
As of last year, the global unemployment rate teetered around 5.1%, roughly translating into over 200 million people without work, according to the International Labour Organization. Speaking about our back yard in India, according to the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSO) under the statistics ministry, India’s unemployment rate for people aged 15 and above was 3.1% in 2023 (the lowest in three years). The question I was trying to address is – what can I do about it? How can we be instrumental in solving this mammoth task? Time is of the essence, as millions continue to struggle with high levels of joblessness, particularly among youth and women.

Challenges in Tackling Unemployment
Navigating the stormy waters of unemployment is no small feat. Many job seekers find themselves trapped in a mismatch of skills, where their abilities do not align with current market needs. Furthermore, the psychological toll of job searching can erect formidable barriers, turning hope into frustration.

Innovative Strategies to Combat Unemployment
At CareerPhi, we started the initiative of aggregating best and free training resources throughout the web. We combined these resources with the learning circle, mentorship, technology, health, finances, habits, fitness, and more. Finally, we’ve added the mix of internship, job and entrepreneurship on a quest to eradicate employment.

We are getting started with a purpose of eradicating unemployment. This is a long and uphill task. We will keep you posted on a monthly basis in terms of our latest numbers.

Until then, keep grinding.
