Youth unemployed; a time bomb for economies of the world

[Dogedegen]

Farming gives quite a good feedback, I wonder why so many here believe socialism is social.
Socialism makes everyone so poor that they revolt.

There is too much comfort in the capitalist system which leads to a revival of socialistic ideas. Most people can't handle too much comfort or leisure time in a healthy way.

They figured online whoring is the answer to their financial problems. You wouldn’t believe how many young girls are doing it nowadays. And some of them go one step further and do the physical thing it is because once money becomes the only goal and you are desperate, everything else loses its meaning.

The same happens with the use of social media. It keeps reprogramming you into a consumption machine for which most things that are valuable no longer have meaning.

To be honest, youth has a decent amount of time to invest into learning.

The youth has never had so much free time as they do now. There would be no such thing as gamers, social media addicts and many other nonsense stuff if the youth didn't have too much time on their hands. The question remains is to how to motivate them to do useful things. But in any case they can't blame anyone else except themselves.

Onlyfans.

They figured online whoring is the answer to their financial problems. You wouldn’t believe how many young girls are doing it nowadays. And some of them go one step further and do the physical thing it is because once money becomes the only goal and you are desperate, everything else loses its meaning.

How did we get here? It wasn’t that widespread before instagram.

Maybe we should go back to our moral values. Onlyfans might fill the hole in their wallets but what about the hole in their souls? We need to pray more often.

It's not just about social media. The final decision is made by the individual. It's their choice, not someone else's. Yes, of course, the influence of modern technology on human life cannot be ruled out. But what can one do when there's no other way out of the financial crisis? One can understand people who sell their bodies physically and for all to see. People want to eat every day. Moral and ethical considerations take a back seat when it comes to how to survive in this world.

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?

We live in an era where youths don't need to rely on the government anymore to survive. There are lots of opportunities now because we live Ina a digital age, although people focus more on their profession due to the fact that its their major and passion but you need to venture into other things if you can't get a job in your area of specialization. Instead of waiting on that government learn high paying skills

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

Unemployment is something that must be eradicated because, of course, if there is high unemployment in a country, it will certainly make it difficult for that country to achieve prosperity and peace. Yes, it is true that one of the consequences of high unemployment is an increase in crime and robbery, which is certainly very concerning.

In my opinion, the government needs to create many job opportunities and also provide counseling or education so that young people and adults can be creative and develop a good business mindset. Sometimes, the difficulty of finding work stems from laziness. To be honest, I used to be lazy myself, but fortunately, I overcame this trait because I remembered that if I continued to be lazy, my future would certainly be bleak. The bottom line is that the government and the people must work together well so that the country can become prosperous.

Even government jobs are high paying now and are technology dependent. Advancing skills is the only way which can unlock such opportunities for the youth. They can either start working with the governments under various internship programs or can even join a private organization which will surely have a high paying job profile.

Learning is the primary key factor here and a major question is will the youth invest there time in learning these skills or will waste their time in useless things like being in a relation, binge-watching movies or maybe even getting addicted to drugs? Yes, the youth usually gets distracted quite easily and they will only be serious if they have undergone some serious trouble in their life.

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

In this case, the government and unemployed youth both have the responsibility to address the unemployment problem. The government must provide full support to reduce unemployment rates, such as creating new jobs through industrial sector development, opening up new agricultural land and infrastructure investment.

Unemployed youth also have an important role to play in solving this problem. They need to improve their skills and actively seek employment. In addition, they must also be brave enough to take risks to start their own businesses or become entrepreneurs. If the government and unemployed youth build a mutually beneficial relationship, they can overcome the unemployment problem and create decent jobs.

One factor under Youth Employment is the belief to become an Influencer.
The fact that the now Influencer needed years to become one is lost on those not being able to look a little further.

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.

There is no way out? If you have a device like a smartphone and an internet connection there is a way out. You are just making excuses for bad behavior. I see so many people spending many hours every day on social media or some useless mobile games instead of learning something useful. Do not make excuses for laziness.

In my opinion, the government needs to create many job opportunities and also provide counseling or education so that young people and adults can be creative and develop a good business mindset. Sometimes, the difficulty of finding work stems from laziness.

The government is not responsible for creating jobs directly. The government itself should employ the minimum number of people possible. The people who work in government jobs are usually the worst possible employees and are only draining the tax money.

One factor under Youth Employment is the belief to become an Influencer.
The fact that the now Influencer needed years to become one is lost on those not being able to look a little further.

A fact that could be solved if people had better knowledge of Math. For every influencer that is successful there are many thousands or even millions of failed attempts. In any case an influencer is a very unproductive and often detrimental member of society. Such a soulless and empty activity usually does not lead to happiness.

Youth unemployment is a major to every society, because it's carries a lot of danger. It's very bad for eligible youth that are ready to work and they don't have a job, because of no job. Such society is in a serious issue, because lack of employment might definitely lead to these youth engaging in crimes for them to make ends meet and also to match up with their peers.
This issue has a lot to do with the government,  buts still not all on government.  We know that the government cannot provide jobs for all its citizens,  but there are others things they can do to help the citizens do better in life. They should be able to make policies that could help the youth start up a business of their own, so they are not idle. Also the youth also have a role to play on their own,  they should understand that crime is not the way forward,  because their are other youth that don't have a job too, but they don't engage in crime rather they try to source fund and start a business of their own, so they can make a honest living.

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

The problem of unemployment is very dangerous for the overall economy of a country. This problem is more obvious in African countries because these countries have very few resources but relatively large populations. Due to inflation, the economic disaster situation is becoming increasingly deplorable. Due to the lack of employment opportunities for so many adult citizens, they are involved in various criminal activities. For this reason, ethnic divisions are being criticized abroad beyond the country borders and foreign investment is gradually decreasing. In addition the number of poor people is increasing due to the decrease in the amount of foreign aid.

The obligation of the government is to adopt a policy of gradually increasing the amount of foreign reserves. But the failure to pay the amount on time due to the reserve crisis exacerbates the economic crisis. The main problem of unemployment is the economic crisis. If the government had sufficient funds, it could have adopted a program to eliminate unemployment by setting up production oriented factories. Or if the amount of resources was greater new government jobs could have been arranged.

If a developing country has so much natural wealth that is still not managed properly not because it is unable to but because of mismanagement and the like. So things like this are what makes a country that should be able to provide jobs for its people more widely fail to provide them. And it's normal to see that the people also have difficulty adapting to the economic conditions experienced and have difficulty finding work. Even building a business will become more difficult. Because usually micro business competition will also be tighter between fellow business people. The solution is to minimize the mismanagement that exists in the country's own system in the utilization of the country's natural resources. Actually, we must honestly admit that currently there are many developing countries that do not succeed in becoming developed countries when they should be able to just because of the high level of corruption and mismanagement in the country. Countries that should be rich and developed have instead become developing countries that are even like poor countries that have no natural resources. I think there is a country that even gives salaries to its people even without the people working.  And that country is one that has minimal corruption and manages its natural resources well.

We live in an era where technology has created huge earning opportunities for people who are well aware of technology to people who are not. If you are unemployed then one must not waste timing by sitting idle rather he must earn money by working online. There are lot of online platforms where one can earn money like fiverr, Upwork etc. Hard times are no doubt tough but they bring with them opportunities. There are people who don't have government or private job but they earn huge money by working online. There are ample opportunities to earn money these days, all you need is to work hard.

I see so many people spending many hours every day on social media or some useless mobile games instead of learning something useful. Do not make excuses for laziness.

The thing is, people don't want to work a lot. Finding a job online isn't that hard, but no one wants to spend hours a day doing it. That's the main problem. But that's only one side of the coin. The other side is acquiring certain skills, which sometimes requires extensive training. This, again, is a difficult process. It's much easier to show off your boobs to perverts and get paid well for it. Many young people are now following this path.

The whole world has about 190 million unemployed people, along with retired people and kids, so we are talking about a giant portion of the world who is not working, and it did get a bit better after the covid fiasco where it went as high as 230-240 million, but it is still on the rise. That's the bad part, not the number itself, I mean these numbers are "official" numbers, we all know it's way way more than this, not even close to this, however what we care is the direction.

It's growing again, for the past 2 years or even 3 years we have grown in this number. Which states that there are more and more unemployed people, and humanity has to work even harder, to make sure those do not die of starvation, and it is getting hard for anyone to find a job.

To be honest, youth has a decent amount of time to invest into learning. It's not like there are not enough opportunities out there but the competition is cut throat and you really need to be skilled to land in a decent paying job. The only way to do so is to start gaining more skills and learning advanced technologies which are in demand. Investing a year or two is not that difficult for this youth. If they stay unemployed is because either they are too lazy to learn something new or are imagining about a get rich quick scheme which eventually make them a bad person.

Yes, cyber crime is on it's peak and we see hundreds and thousands of people getting scammed each single day. The master minds behind this will be someone who either is not capable enough to get a job or either have a criminal mind.

And there's hardly anything we can do to stop these cyber crimes. These scammers have advanced so much that it is almost impossible to stop or even catch them. Every single day I'll be hearing same news on my local news channel about someone being scammed or their entire computer being hacked which leads to sensitive information leaks. This is something which needs to be stopped as mostly adults or senior citizens are the target as they are much vulnerable to such scams.

I remember going to BestBuy one day and seeing a huge queue standing in order to get their computers cleaned because they just clicked on one link and got their computers hacked which literally gave entire access to the hackers. Hope the youth will find some ways to stop this from happening at least with their parents or grand-parents.

Failed to adapt to what exactly? If system is broken and you fail to adapt to it, how is that not a government's fault?

And system definitely is broken. It favors the rich and focuses on keeping them on power. There are less and less use for the middle class, pushing them to poor class, which are somehow blamed for the current economic situation. Imho this won't end well unless we try to come together and fix it. But it needs a lot of work that rich class is probably not too happy to participate in.

[Coyster]

In my opinion, the government needs to create many job opportunities

The government is not going to directly create jobs, the jobs they directly "create" is in the civil service. What the government does is implement progressive policies, provide infrastructure in many sectors, e.g. healthcare, education, etc, support education and innovation, invest in modern technology, etc.

All of the aforementioned increase employment opportunities in a country. Through building infrastructure and investing in education, they create roles that have to be filled with people and encourage brilliant individuals to build start ups and businesses that will in turn hire more people. This is the role of government.

That's the bad part, not the number itself, I mean these numbers are "official" numbers, we all know it's way way more than this, not even close to this, however what we care is the direction.

This time you got things backwards. This is one of the cases of statistics where the official numbers tell a worse story than the real numbers. There are many millions of people illegally employed. They will not be counted in this statistic. Therefore the real number is much lower.

It's growing again, for the past 2 years or even 3 years we have grown in this number. Which states that there are more and more unemployed people, and humanity has to work even harder, to make sure those do not die of starvation, and it is getting hard for anyone to find a job.

Those that are unemployed should spend time educating themselves and not scrolling social media and being glued to screens in other similarly useless ways. If they spent even a fraction of their time on gainign useful skills then getting employment is not that difficult.

Failed to adapt to what exactly? If system is broken and you fail to adapt to it, how is that not a government's fault?

Stop blaming the government and others for your own failures. The system was always broken. Many people made it and got fantastic job. That you don't have a job like that is only your own fault.

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.
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.
