Which one of the following is best implied in the passage?
aStrong measures need to be taken to reduce the rural to urban migration of labour.
bThe working condition in construction and unregistered manufacturing needs to be improved.
cService sector has been reducing the problem of unemployment.
dIncreased social sector spending is imperative for large-scale job creation.
AnswerUPSC’s answer is (d).
The passage argues that the jobs gap of about 24 million over the next decade cannot be closed by farm workers moving into construction and unregistered manufacturing, by services, or by e-commerce, which covers only half. The rest must come from sectors that lift domestic demand, with health and education named. These are social sectors, so the implied message is that more spending there is needed for large-scale job creation.
Why each option is right or wrong
(a) The passage describes labour leaving farms but never asks for migration to be curbed; its worry is the quality and number of jobs.
(b) Poor job quality is noted, but no fix for those workplaces is proposed; the concern is the size of the jobs gap.
(c) Opposite of the passage: services are said not to be creating the extra jobs needed.
(d) Health and education are the sectors named to fill the remaining half of the gap, so more social-sector spending is the implied remedy.
