Some people think a country benefits from a large proportion of young university students, other think sending young people to universities only leads to graduate unemployment. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is often said that having a large number of young college students can greatly benefit a country, whereas others argue that having more undergraduates will only worsen the unemployment situation. While both sides have their own sets of ideas, I agree with the latter, and will give my reasons below. On the one side, more undergraduates can have various benefits for the country.

Firstly

Secondly

, those students will become essential for the working labour after they graduate.

Therefore

, universities with a clear curriculum can build a concrete foundation for each and every job available, creating high-skilled workers who have already met the requirements of the companies. On the other side, universities do not solve the problem of unemployment, but even worsen it. The strict and result-emphasized curriculum, while being advantageous, can

also

be a disadvantage. Schools only include technical-related skills, leaving the graduates with no soft skills and experiences whatsoever.
