Labour and Employment Minister Bandaru Dattatreya said current growth is a jobless growth, a situation in which an economy recovers from a recession but the job market does not. In this context, he said government's initiatives such as 'Skill India' aim at addressing the jobless growth.
Speaking to reporters in Mumbai, Dattatreya said many European and Asian countries, including India, are facing it, but the government's initiatives will address the shortfall in jobs.
The Minister said, he has set up a task force to compile figures of jobs generated in the last three years.
