No There are no major problems. India pretends that its economy is doing well because of the employed. That may be so, but it is helped a great deal by the self employed. In India - the choice is often between poverty or self employment, not employment and unemployment. That churns out a lot of minor entrepreneurs, and provides an income for elderly, retired people. shiv
