For ephemeral pecuniary benefits.

More and more people coming to sell lottery tickets and unemployed youths resorting to self immolation are indications of the present scenario of persistent unemployment in Kerala. The present LDF Government does little for creating fresh employment. The ludicrous pension unification scheme and the subsequent ban on employment made the fate of educated youths miserable. The youth organizations crying wide mouth for silly matters have no concern about the future of youths. On the other hand those employees in service make all gimmicks to lure the ministers and legislators for taking decision for enhancing their retirement age.

Many youths with high qualifications are working as commission agents of banks and financial institutions with little financial benefits. There is absolute insecurity in the minds these youngsters because of the callousness shown by the government in giving them jobs. Asking highly educated youngsters to plough field , and to do manual jobs like catching stray dogs for getting unemployment wage is a cruel joke. The Kerala Government should do something to provide jobs and thereby to remove frustration of youngsters. I really hope that the government should not introduce retirement age hike just for ephemeral pecuniary benefits of the State. Though the honorable H C endorsed the retirement age unification act of the Government it was a foul play for getting a short-lived fiscal advantage for the government
