Youth Unemployment

The growing number of young people who are unable to find a job has become one of our society's most pressing issues. Young people, despite having access to higher education than ever before, commonly remain outside the workforce in areas of stable and meaningful employment as a result of mismatches between labour market skills and the education level, the role of automation, and the lack of job creation. The inability of youth to obtain jobs creates lost productivity, contributes to psychological distress, and creates a sense of alienation from society. Long-term unemployment will result in delays in financial independence and limit upward mobility.

Addressing this issue requires a systematic and structured approach that links educational institutions with the demands of the labour market, increases access to vocational and digital training, and provides access to inclusive economic opportunities. Any successful policy intervention must therefore combine education, business, and government in order to produce young people who possess the academic knowledge to work as well as the skills necessary for sustained social and economic growth.

What are the primary reasons for the essential collaboration among educational institutions, businesses, and government entities?

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) It produces graduates who have both academic knowledge and practical skills for sustained growth

आख़िरी वाक्य कहता है कि तीनों को मिलना होगा "in order to produce young people who possess the academic knowledge to work as well as the skills necessary for sustained social and economic growth", यानी ऐसे युवा तैयार करने के लिए जिनके पास काम करने का शैक्षणिक ज्ञान भी हो और टिकाऊ सामाजिक व आर्थिक विकास के लिए ज़रूरी कौशल भी। विकल्प C जीवन में आंशिक रूप से सही हो सकता है, पर passage इसे कारण के रूप में नहीं देता।

The last sentence says the three must combine "in order to produce young people who possess the academic knowledge to work as well as the skills necessary for sustained social and economic growth". Option C is partly true in life but the passage does not give it as the reason.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'Students are often required to ... memorize large amounts of theoretical information' ऐसी आलोचना प्रतीत हुई जो सहयोग को उचित ठहराए। परंतु passage का कारण अलग है: ज्ञान और व्यावहारिक कौशल वाले स्नातक तैयार करना।'Students are often required to ... memorize large amounts of theoretical information' sounds like a criticism that would justify collaboration. But the passage gives a different reason: producing graduates with knowledge and practical skills.
C'Private businesses can create job opportunities for young people' सामान्यतः सही है और आंशिक रूप से मेल खाता है। परंतु प्रश्न तीनों के सहयोग का मुख्य कारण पूछता है, जो ज्ञान और कौशल वाले स्नातक तैयार करना है।'Private businesses can create job opportunities for young people' is true and partly fits. But the question asks the primary reason, which is producing graduates with knowledge and skills.
D'The government does not work with other partners' में प्रश्न का 'government' शब्द दोहराया गया है। परंतु सहयोग का अर्थ है कि सरकार साझेदारों के साथ कार्य करती है, अतः यह मूल कथन के विरुद्ध है।'The government does not work with other partners' repeats 'government' from the question. But collaboration means the government does work with partners, so this contradicts the premise.
