Indian universities till the advent of call centers every year were churning out millions
of educated youngsters with no job syndrome attached to their fates who are more than happy to work any time at half of the salary of their American counter parts.

Call centers rooted itself in India due to highly educated population willing to work at lower wage rates and happy to be the back-office of the world, in return this industry provided wide range of opportunities to Indian youths — well paid jobs for the minimum qualification, facilities like to and fro transport, subsidized meals, medical facilities, good working conditions,7 star environment and what not.

Undoubtedly, the emergence of call centers in India has given rise to a new generation of working youngsters, proved itself as an employment generation industry and thrown open new-fangled and stirring choices in terms of career prospects.

I think problem is not with the youth but with nature of the job.Its ruining the youth, its making them unsocial, unimaginative, in fact unproductive.
What do they produce actually ...nothing. Helping a foreigner who dont know what is Icon, what is Power button is worthless. Is this is the cause that our parents admit us to colleges?

To spend the most valuable amount of out time over phone, reading the same script and dealing with fat, rude and a rich guy who think we cannot speak english, whereas British who actually speak english lough at that english in pity. It is mere waste of time I believe. We need more entrepreneur who will not do job but produce job.

The dawn of globalization in India has opened new gates for Indian Economy; lots of companies from overseas are progressively
outsourcing their call center services to India — a new trend started with decorated pros and ignored cons.

Absolutly yes. The companies get cheap labour as compared to that in their country. Due to BPO there are lot of problems arising in young people which are called repetitive stress injury. Some of the symptoms of it are anxiety, depression, back pain, tingling sensation of fingers etc. BPO employees drop out their education which will prove costly for them later in their lives.

Actually I was thinking why are we so excited about BPO, i.e. Business Process Outsourcing.

If I am not wrong BPO in word means when a company outsource part of its job to another company specialized in than.

But I am sure you all know today atleast in India BPO is synonymous to Call Center.

Now if i am right, the average age of ppl working in call center is23-25 years. And most of the company have very high attrition rate.Why? BPO can earn you hell lot of money if you are good at (every body want to be good when comes to job), you can enjoy a different lifestyle which many has dreamed of in his/her teens, people at your native will be amazed how fluently with a strange accent you speak english.
Then why people leave job...pressure is everywhere and you know before joining that you have to work at night shift. Then where is the problem.

I think problem is not with the youth but with nature of the job.Its ruining the youth, its making them unsocial, unimaginative, in fact unproductive.
