JOB SEEKERS CRITICISED THE MOVE, CALLING IT GOVT'S ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS THE ISSUE OF RISING UNEMPLOYMENT
BHOPAL: Unemployed youth in Madhya Pradesh will now be referred to as "aspirational youth" as the labour department in the BJP-ruled state dropped the previous term that was creating a negative image, even as the move sparked debate, with several youngsters and political opponents calling it an eyewash aimed at masking the job crisis.
The labour department has changed the term on the state's employment portal as well as employment offices across Madhya Pradesh. As on Friday, more than 2.93 million unemployed youth, or aspirational youth, are registered with 53 employment offices and the employment portal, according to official figures.
