India’s problem — endless unemployment (8)
I believe the answer is:
idleness
'unemployment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'india's problem endless' is the wordplay.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'problem' indicates anagramming the letters.
'endless' with letters rearranged gives 'dleness'.
'i'+'dleness'='IDLENESS'
(Other definitions for idleness that I've seen before include "Reluctance to work" , "Lazy behaviour" , "Inaction" , "Inactivity, indolence" , "State of doing nothing" .)
