Youth unemployed; a time bomb for economies of the world

[bitterguy28]

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

It depends. In some countries, you could blame the government for not creating enough job opportunities for the youth, or not even giving them proper education, so that they can become eligible for the jobs available in the market. A government should make sure that the youth are getting quality education, for free if possible, because maybe not all of them can afford it. The youth is the future of the generation, and if they are left to ruin their lives like that, the nation won't have a bright future, because those who spend money and become able to do something will go somewhere else if they don't get good opportunities, and others will do things they shouldn't be doing because they know they aren't qualified to get jobs.

That being said, sometimes, even if there are opportunities, some people just don't avail them, they don't focus on their studies, and then their career, probably because they are lazy, or lack motivation. This happens everywhere, even in countries that are developed and there are a lot of opportunities both for jobs and education.

it’s impossible that a whole lot of students are unmotivated or lazy if a lot of students are still unemployed the system has to be checked and reevaluated to see whether the system is still working or not

I think the government needs to do more to help the youth get employed, because an idle mind is the devil's workshop,  so if the youth that should be working don't have job, they will definitely turn to crime.
It's true that the government can not provide every youth with jobs, but they still need to improve,  because you don't expect someone with a degree and they can get employed, they will definitely get frustrated and turn to whatever is available, be it crime or whatever. Their are youth that have ideas on how to improve their lives, buy don't have the finance to start something on their own, so I think the government should make loans available for them, so they can start up something on their own and that will definitely reduce crime in the society.

The youth are very adaptable. What we see are the ones that don't have any plans of doing a better career for their lives. While there are a lot of karens if it's about employment. They're very demanding and this is based on those studies that I have seen on how they've done it. Most of the new generations of the young employees, they're looking for work life balance and that's normal. The oldies didn't have this because of what kind of work culture they have been opened. While this demand is depending on the job that they're pursuing, unemployment is a big problem not just for the young professionals but also to those who are experiencing mid-life crisis.

But this is not something that can't be solved ever. There are a number of companies which offer remote jobs and also does not restrict on your country of residence. Anyone can literally start working for a big company from the comfort of their house. All they need is to invest some time to learn and be capable of these jobs.

Youth is not only adaptive but also needs something which can comfort them. They will not just start working a 9-5 job because they are getting nice paid, instead they will look for either hybrid or remote opportunities where they can manage their lives accordingly. The opportunities are just rising everyday and it is getting quite easy to get a job if you know what you are doing. Without knowledge, you just will be swimming in a puddle with a lot of big fishes.

I have also noticed that, that youth from the start ask for way to much benefits and want something exclusive. When most employees are ready to work 9-5 job and work from the office, youth from the start ask for a high payment that equals payment of experienced employee, flexible timetable, and dont accept employer>employee relationship (just try to talk to them in high tone, critisize on their low results - they quit job immediately). They expect comfort, praise and support at home to be transferred to job.

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

In all indication the government has failed us, I hold them to that because they are not creating that enabling environment that attract more of investors and companies to the country that will get the youths employed.

That being said, If the government should have good tax incentives and favorable regulatory frameworks for companies, not the one that will make them pay a whole lot of tax, that will chase out companies that want to get their business established in the country.

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

We can talk about the government all we want, but nothing is going to change, particularly in third world/underdeveloped countries. The reality is that the government isn't magically going to create jobs for every one that is employable, though i know that a better economy and economic policies increase employment opportunities. The role the government has to play is to implement progressive policies in thriving sectors of the economy, this will lead to expansion in businesses and the rise of new startups, which will all promote employment oportunities.

That said, the youths also have a more crucial role to play. The competition for jobs is fierce and if one must stand in front of or close to the front of the line, you have to have more skills and experience that a whole lot of other people. So it is important to learn skills that are important to the industry you are getting into. Go and see what success looks like in that industry and start moulding yourself to be a version that cannot be ignored. This is how to succeed.

I believe many unemployed youths have failed to adapt to the realities of today’s world. In this digital age, creativity and innovation pay more than traditional employment. With the right skill set especially one showcased effectively through social media unemployment would no longer be a major concern.

There are other responsibilities the government need to focus more on, this include national security and improving education, individuals must  take the initiative to create opportunities for themselves rather than waiting for the government to provide everything.

I agree, although remote jobs have been there for so long. It has gained a highlight during the covid19 pandemic when the jobs that can be done through a computer and can be done at home without any need to be in a physical office.

Youth is not only adaptive but also needs something which can comfort them. They will not just start working a 9-5 job because they are getting nice paid, instead they will look for either hybrid or remote opportunities where they can manage their lives accordingly. The opportunities are just rising everyday and it is getting quite easy to get a job if you know what you are doing. Without knowledge, you just will be swimming in a puddle with a lot of big fishes.

While there are a lot of opportunities that we can say, the job market is also getting tougher. With the elder generation that are being laid off and asking for a higher salary, the opportunity that should be for them is going to the new generation that asks and demands pay that's in favor of the employers. It can be said that looking for a job is easy as you've said, but I'd say that it's kind of tough still for them when they have lesser experience.

The government must be a platform to open up avenues for young people to find jobs, and young people must also discover their potential and develop skills. These two things must support each other. If the government paves the way for these opportunities, but young people fail to utilize them effectively, it will be a waste of time.

Indeed, in developing or underdeveloped countries, finding work is difficult because job opportunities are so limited. In fact, I see the unemployed as being held captive, and when they find work, they have to accept whatever they receive, including wages. Sometimes, many companies still pay employees far below the government-set standards.

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?

Governments are doing a lot to take more from the employed and non employed haha, I am not talking about only one government or any specific one, but about all because they have set a system to take more than to give them to run the country still toward disaster haha.

I don't know how unemployment is increasing everybody is doing work, making money, buying shit, those who don't earn they don't make enough efforts or they have some serious problems like some health problems, some other problems so they can't work, but bro in this economy everyone is working day and night and there is not doubt that people sometimes consider rob, killing, etc. as jobs too haha but they are not jobs even cyber activities (the bad ones) are not even jobs.

Are you waiting for government employment as a youth or you want government to be feeling your family ? You will be disappointed.  if government promise you employmenf you don't have money to train yourself to school, you can look for potential skills to learn to better your life and also add value to your country economy. It is few government that have the heart  of people for mind, those that don't have the heart of people for mind will be watching their people to be suffering of employment in the country.

This is why I stated that a person should be flexible.  For example, a fresh graduate student, he should know that there are lots of graduates out there competing for the same job he is targeting.  Some participants who were years older than him will have the advantage of experience, connections, skills, and knowledge.  So his application may have a lower chance of getting accepted.

Learning other skill is a good way to explore more potential opportunities, not because a person is a graduate of a managerial job, he will stick to looking at that kind of job.  He may wait for his entire life if he keeps on looking at that specific job since most companies will hire experienced people for that job.  And the person lacking the experience can look for a different position but have a connection to his target job, like being an assistant, until he has fully gained the experience needed by the company for his target position.

Honestly, I'm 100% sure that those who are unemployed don't want to live like that, but if the government doesn't create adequate job opportunities, don't blame that ticking time bomb. I've been in the field and witnessed that there are actually many ways to escape unemployment, everything is digital and young people just need to step out of their comfort zones and try new challenges.

You can't rely on the government which is clearly useless, then it's better to take steps to get out and utilize the internet. There are many cases where unemployed people have managed to improve their lives and secure job offers abroad. They realize that their services are more appreciated abroad than in their own country.

A lot of people insist on studying things that are not in demand, not useful or productive for society. When they fail to find good jobs afterwards they blame everyone but themselves.

It is not the job of a government to create jobs for its population,t hose socialistic ideas need to die off.

In most of the cases the fault lies with the unemployed people themselves. They want well paid jobs without actually investing time in gaining useful things. In rare cases could we blame the government or the market that some people do not have jobs, but generally we talk about majorities so these can be ignored for the argument.

[Rockstarguy]

The problem of unemployment is one that has surrounded us for a very long time, and I think the government has been battling with this, but they seem to be incompetent at creating more jobs. I think it is high time for people not to have high expectations of waiting for the government to create jobs for them. The world has changed, and people have been serving with their talent, skills, and businesses. I think people need to depend on themselves for how they can generate income because this is the only way to get something for themselves. By depending on the government for a job, you may end up being stranded and having nothing for yourself.

Unemployment is definitely a big problem. If it is not brought under control in time, it can definitely lead to big problems. It should not only be considered a personal problem but also a social or national problem. When young ages are unemployed, there will be threat in them doing any criminal act. They will become a threat to the common people. Although the unemployment problem may not seem like a problem at first, if this rate increases, it will go beyond the control of the government. There is no logic in relying only on the government to solve this unemployment problem. The government must try and also be proactive. If both the government and ordinary people try, then it is possible to solve the unemployment problem of that country.

You are right the major issue of this time which youth is facing. The unemployment issue faced by young generation is making them mentally sick. If we dig it down, the basic reason for increase in crime rate is the unemployment. Parents hardly manage to pay the fees and other expenses of their children for study. They contract their basic needs for the bright future of their children but at the end what they get? An unemployed boy which spend his time, money and he struggle he faced in institutions. It's completely wrong and givernment should stricktly take action to it. I know government is not able to provide job to every single student but at least they can imporve the system. Eligible and intelligent students should 100 percent get their jobs and be successful in their field. I ensure you that if govt. take some action, crime rate will be down.

why do so many of you call upon the government?
You can create your own job, grafic, construction, whatever.

I will say that the unemployed are unable to adapt, the current youth prefer to be subordinated rather than independent, why do you have to chase after a job just because you are educated? Why do you have to do jobs and neglect other work? The current youth do not know how to value labor, which is why the unemployment rate is high. They themselves do not know what the youth want.

You ask a young person to do farming, he will not do it. Ask him to do small business, he will not do it. Suggest him to do small service work, he will not agree. Why will they not agree? If you ask them, they will say, why should I, an educated person, stand on the side of the road and sell products? Why should I, an educated person, cultivate? And why should I, an educated person, earn money by doing small jobs? This defames me.

The current youth memorize the essay "The Dignity of Labor" in school, but do not know how to value labor. The main reason for the current unemployment is the lack of knowledge of how to value labor. There is still no shortage of cultivable land in the world, if we talk about any one country, there is still cultivable land in every country, but there are not enough people to cultivate it. Employment is decreasing, because new employment is not being created. Services are now very expensive, because the young society is not engaging itself in services by utilizing its skills. When labor gets its due appreciation, unemployment will continue to disappear on that day.

Way too many people are infected by socialist ideas. They are unable to solve these issues themselves but they expect some other people to solve them for a big group of people at the same time. When those are unable to solve these issues on a mass scale, they blame them.

They are too busy binge watching Netflix shows and scrolling Tik Tok short videos to do anything meaningful..

Yes, very few young people would accept doing a decent amount of hard work. Almost nobody would do hard work on the level that the previous generation had to do, that is one of the big problems of this.
