प्रश्न
2 Passage Rad the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Unemployment is an important index of economic slack and lost output, but it is much more than that. For the unemployment person, it is often a demanding affront to human dignity and sometimes a catastrophic blow to family life. Nor is this cost distributed in proportion to bear it. It falls most heavily on the young, the semiskilled and unskilled, the black person, the older worker, and the unemployed person in a low income rural area who is denied the option of securing more rewarding urban employment.The concentrated incidence of unemployment among specific group in the population means for greater costs to society than can be measured simply in hours of involuntary oldness or dollars of income lost. The extra cost included disruption of the careers of young people, increased juvenile delinquency, and perpetuation of conditions which breed radical discrimination in employment and otherwise deny equality of opportunity. There is another and more subtle cost. The social and economic strains of prolonged underutilization create strong pressures for cost-increasing solutions. On the side of labor, prolonged high unemployment leads to “share the work” pressures for shorter hours, intensifies resistance to technological changes and to rationalization of work rules, and in general increases incentives for restrictive and inefficient measures to protect existing jobs. On the side of business, the weakness of markets leads to attempts to raise prices to cover high average overhead costs and to pressures for protection against foreign & domestic competition. On the side of agriculture, higher prices are necessary to achieve income objective when urban and industrial demand for foods and fibers are depressed and lack of opportunities for jobs and higher incomes in industry keep people on the farm. In all these cases, the problems are real and the claims understandable. But the solutions suggested raise costs and promote inefficiency. By no means that the advantages of full utilization will be a diminution of these pressures. They will be weaker, and they can be more firmly resisted in good conscience, when markets are generally strong and job opportunities are plentiful. The demand for labor is derived from the demand for the goods and services which labor participate producing. Thus, unemployment will be reduced to 4 percent of the labor force only when the demand for the myriad of good and services – Automobile, clothing, food, haircuts, electric generator, highways and so on – is sufficiently great in total to require the productive efforts of 96 percent of the civilian labor force. Although many good are initially produced as materials or components to meet demands related to the further production of other goods, all goods (and services) are ultimately destined to satisfy demands that can, for convenience, be classified into four categories, net export demand of foreign buyers, and demand of government units, federal, state and local. Thus gross national products (GNP), our total output, is the sum of four major components of expenditure; personal consumption expenditures, gross private domestic investment, net exports, and government purchases of goods and services. The primary line of attack on the problem of unemployment must be through measures which will expand one or more of these components of demand. Once a satisfactory level employment has been achieved in a growing economy, economic stability requires the maintenance of continuing balance between growing productive capacity and growing demand. Action to expand is called for not only when demand actually declines and recession appears but even when the rate of growth of demand falls short of the rate of growth of capacity. According to the passage, a typical business reaction to a recession is to press for

1.

higher unemployment insurance
2.

restrictive business practices
3.

government action
4.

protection against imports
