Data shows a nearly 50% year‑on‑year decline in rural job creation during the first month of the VB‑G RAM G program.
In its inaugural month, the VB‑G RAM G initiative has seen a sharp downturn in rural employment, with job creation falling by almost 50% compared to the same period last year, according to government statistics.
The decline, reported by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, highlights challenges faced by the program in mobilising rural labour markets and meeting its employment targets.
Officials are reviewing the rollout strategy to address the shortfall and ensure that the scheme can deliver on its promise of creating sustainable livelihoods for rural communities.
