ECONOMIC SYSTEM 42 OF 46

Job Failure Database

Record why employment pathways fail and what correction works.

01 · PLACE & PROBLEM

Define the economic failure without reducing people to a count.

Failures disappear into aggregate placement or unemployment numbers without exposing the broken stage.

Record why employment pathways fail and what correction works. must be tested through actual worker and firm outcomes, not announcements, registrations, certificates, sanctioned posts or gross investment alone.

Required local context

Record state, district, city/block, village/ward or industrial cluster; date and reference period; worker/firm group; occupation and sector; work status, hours, earnings or business stage as relevant; source/method; and uncertainty. Do not infer street-level conditions from a national survey estimate.

02 · ROOT-CAUSE DIRECTION

Test demand, capability, access and business conditions together.

01

Demand & market

Is there verified paying demand for the work, product or service? Treat it as a hypothesis until records, worker/firm experience and alternatives are checked.

02

Capability & match

Do demonstrated skills fit the tasks and required proficiency? Treat it as a hypothesis until records, worker/firm experience and alternatives are checked.

03

Finance & cash flow

Are capital, working capital, payment timing and risk appropriate? Treat it as a hypothesis until records, worker/firm experience and alternatives are checked.

04

Infrastructure & access

Do land, utilities, logistics, internet, mobility and care enable participation? Treat it as a hypothesis until records, worker/firm experience and alternatives are checked.

05

Rules & institutions

Are registration, compliance, contracts and remedy understandable and predictable? Treat it as a hypothesis until records, worker/firm experience and alternatives are checked.

06

Quality & inclusion

Are earnings, safety, stability, progression and access acceptable across groups? Treat it as a hypothesis until records, worker/firm experience and alternatives are checked.

04 · INDIA-FIT SOLUTION

Fix the binding constraint instead of applying one scheme to everyone.

01

Verify baseline

Measure the actual local constraint in job failure database, including distribution and missing evidence.

02

Protect livelihoods

Contain urgent wage, safety, cash-flow, closure or exclusion risks while longer changes are designed.

03

Connect the pathway

Join capability, infrastructure, finance, institutions and paying demand around the worker or firm journey.

04

Pilot

Create a worker-safe failure register linked to root-cause review, better solution, pilot and outcome.

05

Decide transparently

Compare net benefit, job quality, equity, cost, viability and displacement before scale.

07 · RISKS & SAFEGUARDS

Growth should not transfer hidden cost to workers, firms or communities.

Job-quality riskTemporary, unsafe, unpaid or misclassified work counted as success.
Firm riskDebt, compliance or technology imposed without demand and capability.
Equity riskWomen, youth, disabled, rural or low-income participants excluded.
Displacement riskSubsidised activity replaces existing work without net gain.
Evidence riskRegistrations, announcements, estimates and outcomes are mixed.
