Abstract

Rich in potential - in human and natural resources - Uttar Pradesh (UP) once appeared positioned to be the pace-setter for India's economic and social development. However, the growth rate of Uttar Pradesh has declined in the Eleventh Five Year Plan as against Bihar. The paper finds the causes of poverty and unemployment in Uttar Pradesh; it also analyse important socio-economic indicators of Uttar Pradesh. This research paper is based entirely on secondary data. The paper finds that demographic transition seems to be correlated with growth, with some reasons to believe that causality flows both ways�lower dependency ratios increase growth and higher growth reduces fertility and consequently dependency ratios. Rising rural incomes consequent to higher productivity will create a multiplier effect increasing farm and non farm products and services, thereby stimulating rapid growth of employment opportunity in other sectors. Cunha, (2010) findings demonstrates the close interaction between a person�s job and their place in society. Poverty incapacitates its subjects in utilizing available public facilities. This, in turn, prevents poor people from advancing in economic and social spheres of life. Alleviation calls for targeted interventions and in the Eleventh Five Year Plan, the emphasis has been laid on inclusive growth meaning thereby that growth benefits will reach all especially to the lowest strata of the society.
