Unemployment remains the biggest challenge to school-leavers in most countries How far do you agree with this assessment? What other challenges face young people today?
Youth unemployment is certainly a worrying challenge for most
countries
, especially at a time of economic instability and social unrest. Use synonyms
However
, to say that Linking Words
this
is the largest issue is to overlook a range of equally pressing matters, as we will discuss now. It must be admitted that joblessness can undermine a young person’s economic prospects and consequent social mobility. Linking Words
Nevertheless
, Linking Words
this
issue can be ameliorated by coordinated action between the state and the private sector, as we have seen, Linking Words
for instance
, in Canada recently. When Linking Words
this
is realized, we can see that other concerns are at least as serious. Foremost among these is perhaps the issue of age demographics, whereby young Linking Words
people
bear the burden Use synonyms
for
an increasingly elderly population with high longevity. Change preposition
of
This
means that young Linking Words
people
will pay higher taxes and work longer hours, possibly forcing them to migrate to Use synonyms
countries
where Use synonyms
this
pressure is lower. The effect of Linking Words
this
is the ‘brain drain’ situation which can be seen in southern Europe, where young, ambitious Linking Words
people
prefer to leave their Use synonyms

altogether, exacerbating the problem for those remaining. Use synonyms
Furthermore
, we must remember that a substantial proportion of young Linking Words
people
globally face existential threats Use synonyms
such
as famine, drought or outbreaks of disease. These problems are often caused by (or are compounded by) civil war, political instability or the corruption of Linking Words
people
in power locally. Use synonyms
Such
risks are a danger to their safety Linking Words
in addition
to their livelihood, and so would appear to be far more serious than unemployment. Linking Words
To conclude
, it seems logical to accept that joblessness is a major challenge for young Linking Words
people
. Use synonyms
However
, persistent trends in demographics among developed Linking Words
countries
and the presence of physical dangers in developing Use synonyms
countries
should be regarded as at least as severe.Use synonyms
