The measures appropriate as remedies for unemployment will clearly depend on the type and cause of the unemployment. Such measures take the form of demand side (demand management) and supply side policies aimed at increasing aggregate demand and the economy?s potential rate of output respectively.
Some of these measures include:
1. Decentralization of industries: Industries should be encouraged to establish in different regions of a country through enhanced provision of incentives such as tax relief, free room for expansion, security and improvement of the infrastructure. This helps reduce rural-urban migration and urban unemployment.
2. Use of monetary and fiscal policies: The government can use fiscal and monetary policies (to
influence activities) to create more employment opportunities by way of selective credit to those
projects that have potential capacities to absorb more labor (supporting declining industries with
public funds, cutting taxation etc)
3. Population growth control through family planning education programmes: This will then become
a long-term remedial measure to the problem of unemployment.
4. Provision of more education and training facilities including retraining schemes to keep workers
who want to acquire new skills to improve their mobility.
5. Changing the attitude towards work i.e. eliminating the white-collar mentality and creating positive attitudes towards the mainstay (economic) activities such as agriculture and other technical vocational jobs.
