This is based on my survey of 110 pupils.
Instead the Govt should opt various policies to engage youth in Private Sectors.
It is hard but the truth is the next government would be BJP, who is never against hiking retirement age. There are record number of employees, who are on verge to retire in the next 2 years. Considering the fact that the last retirement age which was enhanced from 58 to 60 was done by BJP Government and the UPA has created negativity among the employees as they were many rumours about the increase in retirement age to 62. Now in present situation the employees are very dissappointed and wants to hike the retirement age to 62.
So the best option for the UPA Government is to raise the retirement age and consider the vote bank of the to-be-retired employees and you may come into power.
Unless this, It is practically impossible for UPA to survive as there is lot of negativity among Central Govt Employees. And as far youth is concerned it would not impact them as just 4% of Indian job market has central government jobs!!
And it is already proven that just 30% of youth only would caste their vote and various surveys reveal that they are seeking for change in Government.
So the final verdict is, Raise the Retirement age to 62 and capture the vote bank, if you UPA wants to come into power in 2014!!

What is required is efforts to increase new employment outside the govt. sector, like, IT, food processing, manufacturing, hardware and electronics, garment, textiles and toys etc. Is it not funny, the the last four in the above list are all highly labour intensive and our share (globally) is very very low and China is far ahead. Govt. should enable employment generation, but should not attempt to do it by increasing number of its own employees, because the latter is unsustainable.
Thanks.
Why the old junk in govt service basically so much giddy to continue very well they should be under scanner as far as their agility, performances are in concern. let our new generation to spread their wings efforts to develop the country.Any proposal to increase the retirement age should be thrown into dust bin.
