問題詳情
四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】Compared with much of the aging developed world, India is currently in the demographic dividend period that thecountry’s leaders believe will power India’s economic ascent as the number of young Indians in the workforce grows.According to a recent Indian government report, over the next 20 years, India’s labor force is forecast to swell by nearly athird, while that of the industrialized world will shrink by 4%.Though there is ample labor force, a mismatch occurs between the supply of jobs, the quality of education, and thedemand from India’s young people. Because of India’s jobs deficit, young Indians scramble to find secure employment. Inone example of this mismatch, 2.3 million applications were filed to compete for 368 jobs in the local administrationoffered by the government of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in India. The qualifications for these low-ranking jobsrequired merely an elementary-school education and the ability to ride a bicycle. Astonishingly, more than 250 applicantswith doctorates and over 100,000 college graduates applied for these entry-level posts, which would compensate theworkers with less than $250 per month.To boost secure and skilled jobs for those with higher degrees of education, the Prime Minister Modi launched ahigh-profile initiative, Make in India, in February 2016 as an attempt to make India an easy place to do business. One of thebiggest initiatives the Modi government proposed was to introduce a national goods-and-service tax to replace the locallevies and make it easier for companies to buy land for development and expansion.The hope for a secure and well-paying job, therefore, has motivated many high school Indian graduates to seek helpwith some form of private tutoring so that they can enter top colleges in India. As said by Vipul Sharma, a 20-year-old highschool graduate currently enrolled at a private tutoring center, “I want a good career in a place like Delhi or Mumbai. Thisis the best way to do it.”

是與老齡化發達國家的大部分相比，印度目前處於人口紅利期，該國領導人認為，隨著印度勞動力年輕人數量的增長，印度的經濟崛起將為其提供動力。根據印度政府最近的一份報告，在未來20年內，印度的勞動力預計將增長近三分之一，而工業化國家的勞動力將減少4％。雖然勞動力充足，但就業機會，教育質量和印度年輕人的需求之間存在著不匹配的問題。由於印度的就業不足，年輕的印度人爭相找到安全的就業機會。在這種不匹配的一個例子中，230萬份申請被提起以競爭印度人口最多的北方邦政府提供的368個就業機會。這些低級別工作的資格只需要小學教育和騎自行車的能力。令人驚訝的是，超過250名具有博士學位和超過100,000名大學畢業生的申請人申請了...
