Youth unemployed; a time bomb for economies of the world

[gracreavix]

Unemployment is one major Macro-economic problem that affects both developed and developing economies. It carries a dangerous threat that can become disastrous in the future.
A lot of eligible young adults have accumulated certification to carry out employable opportunities, and that number continues to increase posing more pressure, and also an increase in crime rate, including cyber crime, as a result of a vast number being unemployed.
Little wonder writers describe unemployment for youths as a time bomb waiting to explode.

Does governments need to do more, or have these unemployed youths failed to adapt?

The point is that both the governments and the youth need to do more in this unemployment situation. It is the duty of governments to provide job opportunities for their citizens, but the issue now is that some governments are trying their best, but things are just not working out for them to provide all the youth with job opportunities. It is now left for the youth to understand that many of these governments do not have the power to do so, if they did, many would have done it already. Therefore, youth should try to adapt and explore other means of survival. Let's learn skills that are marketable and start doing something instead of waiting for the government to give us a job with just our school certificates. The point is that there are different skills outside, but just because people go to school and have a certificate, they don’t want to learn those skills. Instead, they just keep waiting for the government, and honestly, that
Would not help any country economy.

Then we can say that waiting for the government is no longer a better option because of how things have really changed. Due to the population increase job that people looks for is not enough. Learning a skill or starting a small is something vital that help a lot more than  waiting for a job that may never come. It’s not about giving up on education, it is better to use what we learned to create something useful for ourselves and others.

I think this is a problem that all countries face, where unemployment issues are rising year after year. This is no longer surprising because, every year, students graduate from colleges
and universities. So, right from here, the government truly won't be able to solve this 100%.

That's why one of the things I read here was correct: someone said that new graduates should change their mindset about life. Take note, I haven't even included the previous
batches of graduates who still remain jobless up to now. So, the real competition now is about being the best at strategizing on how to generate a source of income.

All countries faces unemployment but I can swear with my life that some countries are very worst and bad at employment opportunities. In my country, every one will persuade you to go to school, tell you to get a first class degree and after wasting all years in school, they will now tell you that there is no work, you need to have a skills before you graduate otherwise you will not see any job after you graduate, that's the normal thing we do experience here.

Like it's even now a compulsory to engage students to learn entrepreneurbin school before the graduate, it's a course which you will have to pass but guess what, after you finish school and everything, you will see that the entrepreneur that was thought in school is completely different from the reality of life after school. This is the challenges we are facing in school and after school, it's a shame to finished well in school but there is no place to practice it.

maybe while in college, you might not have all the needed knowledge that helps you to balance things up regarding how you treat your school and learning of skills that is now useful in the society, if you balance things up real good, spending years in school to learn a course is never entirely a waste of time.

The big issue at the moment is that we tend to believe that the government is responsible for providing jobs for us which makes a lot of people to sit back and fail to do the right thing that will place them as employable individual. as someone that is living in a country where unemployment is high, while in school, it is always necessary to combine academics with learning of real life skill so once you are done with college, you know that you are already exposed to the kind of work you will be doing.

Government have their own limit and impossible for them to provide job opportunities to almost all of fresh graduate that's why theese people should be adapt with this condition and they should be more creative if want to gets the jobs and earn money so you says is true that because in the digital era there are plenty of jobs opportunities in the internet so, the youth or fresh graduate can seeking the job through an the internet depend on the skill they have

For an example in my environment there are some young people who just graduated from the university and they can get the jobs on the internet i think this is the proof that they didn't rely on the government anymore for job opportunities and these people can develop their skill and gets decent salaries by working in the internet so, this stories might be can inspire other people who can do the same thing

While it is impossible for government to provide that much help directly, they could make it indirectly. Because, they could make incentives for companies to hire young people, while that would be seen bad by the older generation, and may even hurt the votes, it allows the nation to have a better younger working class that earns decently.

If you do tax cuts for example, for each young employed for that company, I assure you, they will only hire young people. These companies do whatever they can to save a dime, so if you tell them they will hire someone young who will get less salary because they are brand new, WHILE also make them save from taxes, they will be crazy not to accept that deal. Not sure if it will be great for the nation though.

Does governments need to do more, or have these unemployed youths failed to adapt?

The role of the government in reducing unemployment is most important. Improving the education system, facilitating electricity and internet services and improving the communication system should be given more priority. If the government of a country focuses on these basic developments to eliminate poverty among its citizens, the unemployment problem can be solved very quickly.

By providing electricity and internet services, entrepreneurs can be created at the individual level and small business establishments are born at the individual level, and as a result of improving the communication system, efforts are made to deliver the country's manufactured goods and produced crops (such as rice, wheat and other products) to the whole world. As a result, opportunities are created to earn foreign exchange. With the development at the individual level, the country develops.

If the poor government of a country focuses on these developments on a priority basis, then we will not have to wait for an explosion of unemployment, but for an explosion of development.

I know one thing about life transition and stages but one thing has always been constant which is "nothing last forever". Back then, it was easy to get a job after school, you try your best and go to school, finish with a good grade and end up working with the government at any level or you work with a company that want to hire you, that's how you become a man or a woman for yourself but as it is now, things are not that way anymore.

Back then, people don't make money through the internet, even when the internet came only blogs were the new thing that time, people get paid for their passion but today, all of that ha been rebranded, people do work from home without living the comfort of their home. We have to adapt to every new changes of life if you want to adapt quickly.

Does governments need to do more, or have these unemployed youths failed to adapt?

The government needs to do more, and the youth also need to change their mindset. The narrative that we all shared growing up – that being educated creates a better opportunity and the more educated you become, the higher the chances of escaping poverty – needs to change into trying to be industrious, and don't be hoping for fancy jobs because you are educated, but develop that mindset of being a productive youth rather than a random consumer.

The government have failed to create opportunities. They can't employ everyone, but they can make a path for greater opportunities. Since they are not doing it, the youth need to wake up and focus more on something that can help them be industrious and be employers of labour rather than waiting to be employed.

They also need to wake up to the fact that not all young people who graduate from college will be given a job through the help of the government. Perhaps the government only manages
to provide jobs to less than one-fourth of the college students who graduate each year.

That's why the youth must be resourceful. I remember a time when I was just in second year high school, I had a classmate who was a working student. He worked in the morning,
and then in the afternoon, he attended school. He remained a working student until we graduated high school. Meaning, we shouldn't rely on the government for the job we want.
We must be the ones to find a way to have a source of income.

Sadly, our country produces a lot of graduates yearly and I don't know what the stats it shows of how many of them becomes unemployed just after graduation. It's because many of them decides to take a pause and rest after the hectic school years that they've been through. If they are not going to adapt and they're not going to be creative with how they sell themselves in the job market, they'll have hard time in being beaten by those who are competitive and have got expensive. But I think that the low baller employers have got their back. On the other hand, it's their chance to gain experience with them.

That was always surprised me. Former students take year or more as a pause after they graduate from university. As if they were physically and mentally working hard all those 4-8 years without rest. A lot of students, while studying in university, pass practice in companies, work part time there, get experience. When they graduate, companies hunt for best students, best brains and skills, and some of them decide to lose opportunity of getting a job, and take a pause. Take a rest before the start of their independent adult life. I dont get it.

There was a time when things were done like that in my country, best graduating students don't need to struggle to get jobs cause different companies do seek the best brains to work with, but currently bad government has made everything worst, graduates roam the streets, some turned to hoodlums out of frustration and some just rely on pety jobs for survival.

 Bad government has made getting a good paying job very tough, you'll have to be very connected to people of high profile before getting better jobs. But the youths of my country are not cowards many sensible ones have channeled their direct towards Cryptocurrency as hope for employment opportunities through Bitcoin especially, aiding themselves cause the government has failed them.

It happens in our culture and I don't know why, maybe just because they're exhausted. When I've finished my studies, all I think is not to waste time and get employment as soon as possible so that I can give back to my parents and to all of those who have helped me. It's also because there is a bias in where students have graduated. There is this thing called 'reputable institution or university' in our country and companies do prefer those students that came from the big 4. So, that's the bias thing in our culture here in the Philippines. If you're not from the top schools or big 4, you're only the second, third, fourth or last choice even if you are the best.

If the economy is developing there won't be unemployment I believe.
Big companies and businesses always drop high numbers of their workers when things gets tough, it is happening even in america and other countries that are well developed compare to mine.

People who commit crime here are mostly youths, we know after they are caught or arrested, I guess the olders ones have made up their mind to accept things the way they are but the youth are still under pressure, from their relatives and parents.

Cyber crime is the most popular one, I believe what you meant by waiting for a time bomb to explode, if almost everyone in a country is into cyber crime there is a big problem because if one day all cyber crime comes to an end these people will start to do evil thing when opportunity presents itself.

Honestly if I see the way undergraduates are struggling in school during their lectures and other school activities, I used to wish and pray tfor God not to allow the country render their efforts useless. I would not say going to school in my country is of no use but your level of success in the country where I come from has nothing to do with your degree certificate to a very large extent unless if you are first class graduate and trust me when I say that is also not a guarantee whatsoever.

If you want to be truly successful in my country, you have to stand up and learn an extra skill or two especially during your stay in the university so that you are not rendered jobless when you become a graduate. There is literally no job out there for you from the government unless like I said you are a first class graduate then you might be lucky to get some private sector offer or in few occasions get picked by the government employments meritoriously.

Mate your prayers and wish will not go in vain but we must face the fact squarely, where we came from is a place that we have to be smart to survive and there's no.to ways about it, it is not about attending lectures, reading and getting good grades in the university or graduating with first class and second class but man the country where we came from is about having a skill and creating your own employment by yourself which you have said to an extent, that's they society we find ourselves in and we must try our possible best to make ourselves and our family by refusing to fail, it is very obvious that our country government are not ready to  grow in areas that tackles unemployment to its standstill, will have to stop here because am begining feel bad because I know what you're talking about and is like trying to open an already healed wound.

Well said. We all know that nothing really lasts forever even the life we live currently one day it will be no more. Life keeps changing, and the way things used to work years ago is completely different things are currently. It used to be all about getting a good education and getting a good job they can sustain us, but that path doesn’t guarantee success anymore. The world has changed a lot, especially with technology. The internet has opened up so many new ways to earn a living that don’t even exist before. Like you said, people can now work from home and still make good money. The key is to adapt and keep learning is one important thing in today’s world, because the faster we adjust to these changes, the easier it becomes for us.

[Dogedegen]

Saying the youths failed to adapt is funny. These people go to university, finish school, and can’t even find a job. They are told to learn a skill, but there's still no opportunity to harness the skill they've learnt; some are even forced to start businesses just to make ends meet, but inflation and government policy keep pushing them out of business. Cut the youths some slack; they're actively seeking employment but cannot find work. But hey!!! Let’s blame the youth.

Yes of course, why finishing a degree in gender studies is very useful. Maybe the well done digital marketing when millions and millions of people have the same degree because it is very easy. The youth of today is useless. They don't know anything about the world and they practically have no skills. Most of them can barely turn on a laptop or computer, but they are experts at using a web based PDF editor or scrolling Instagram. What skills?

The government will need to do more, indeed much more. While I won’t justify crime, if these people are gainfully employed, that would reduce crime. After all, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop.

I repeat again stop with these socialism big government ideas, they are harmful.

All countries faces unemployment but I can swear with my life that some countries are very worst and bad at employment opportunities. In my country, every one will persuade you to go to school, tell you to get a first class degree and after wasting all years in school, they will now tell you that there is no work, you need to have a skills before you graduate otherwise you will not see any job after you graduate, that's the normal thing we do experience here.

Yeah and where is the problem? Going to school does not guarantee you anything. You are supposed to make it on your own afterwards that was the point of the school. This is capitalism, survival of the most skilled, wealthy or connected individuals. If you don't have what it takes then you won't survive and thrive. Life is as simple as that. Being an entitled brat does not contribute to skill building just for your information..

If they are exhauster, they might take a pause for week or two and start searching for a job. They are not exhauster physically or very exhauster morally. At school, when we had final exams ahead, nobody pushed on us hard, everyone understood that we are in huge stress. A month of exams, then a month of waiting for results and you get list with results and you are already rested. Then you decide to search for a job or apply for university. In university, when you prepare bachelor or MBA diploma, they give you half a year to write it, so I dont see what can exhaust a student so much, that it require to take 1 year pause.

Unemployment is truly a time bomb especially among youths that is about to explode in some countries and have overblown in most countries of the world especially in developing economies. Young people were taught that education is the key to success and it will shape their future, it made many of them to squarely face their studies and after graduation there is no jobs for employment. The frustration leads most of them to go into crime to survive, because of the internet many of them are into cyber crimes. In some parts of the world the uneducated ones are lured into terrorism, kidnaping and banditry, they do this things telling themselves that it's for survival. Governments need to take proactive steps to address the issue of unemployment in their countries, if not they will have a hard to rule peacefully. Youths on the other hand needs to learn skills that will generate income for them instead of waiting for readymade jobs from government and established businesses.

Unemployment happens because the interests are good enough that big whales do not need to create more jobs. It means, for the past 5 years and even maybe more, we had good enough interest to make it attractive for the billionaires to just keep it there.

If we lower the interests to a very small number, they wouldn't have to worry about putting it in the bank because it would not be making anything there. Instead, they would grow their business to earn more, and to do that they would have to end up with a lot more jobs, because if you grow, then same amount of workers won't be enough. This is the reason why interests needs to be lower, but also inflation has to be kept in check meanwhile so that it doesn't skyrocket.

Every year, over 200 million people are graduated from various universities but faces limited job opportunities to put food on the table of these graduate. Unemployment is one of the challenging question that the answer have not been discovered in some part of the world like Africa,  which are masterminded by the so called political representatives who are interested in themselves and never the people that gave them  opportunity to be called there leaders.
To eradicate unemployment in any country,  the government should operate with some objectives, goals and so ob
