Economists Doubtful of India's Job Scheme's Success

Economists Doubtful of India's Job Scheme's Success

Imagine the government wants to help people get jobs!

They created a plan called ELI, offering money to companies that hire new workers.

It also gives money directly to new employees.

However, some experts are worried.

They think the plan might not work because it mainly helps big companies, and they might not hire many new people.

They also worry about whether the jobs will be good ones with fair pay and benefits.

Some think the government should help small businesses instead, since they often create more jobs.

The plan aims to create a lot of jobs, but people are unsure if it will succeed.
