India economic survey 2018: The Economic Survey 2017-18, which was released in Parliament ahead of the Union Budget 2018 to be presented by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on February 1 has some good news for jobseekers and says that job creation will remain a key focus area for the government in the near term.
The economic survey said that employment, i.e, finding good jobs for the young and burgeoning workforce; especially for women; education, i.e; creating an educated and healthy labor force and agriculture, i.e; raising farm productivity while strengthening agricultural resilience will remain the three areas of policy focus in the near term. Further, the economic survey notes that as India emerges as one of the world‘s largest economies, it needs to gradually move from being a net consumer of knowledge to becoming a net producer.
