Statement : Should there be reservation in Government jobs for candidates from single child family?

Arguments :
I. No. This is not advisable as the jobs should be offered to only deserving candidates without any reservation for a particular group.
II. Yes. This will help reduce the growing population in India as the parents will be encouraged to adopt single child norm. Correct Answer Neither I nor II is strong

The Government has already made provisions for reservation of jobs for the economically backward sections, which is a must. So, abolishing the practice of reservation altogether has no meaning. Thus, argument I is vague. Also, more reservations would lead to non-recruitment of many more deserving candidates. Besides, such a reservation, if implemented, will cater to the job requirements of only a small section of population and not a major part of it. So, argument II also does not hold strong.
