Education is not the only criterion for getting a job now as we find in many countries people remain jobless even after completing their studies. What are the reasons behind youth unemployment and what problems arise due to it? What solutions do you think this can have?

The youth unemployment rate is quite high in many countries even though there are enough qualified graduates. Various attributes are owing to the

lack

of enough

jobs

. The drawbacks that arise

as a result

of joblessness and the multiple ways to tackle

this

problem will be discussed below. The

first

and foremost reason for the graduates to remain jobless is because many

lack

confidence and the required inter-personal

skills

.

In other words

, lacking in communication

skills

, and

also

the

right

attitude makes them ineligible to get the

right

work. Another point to consider is they are just unwilling to take that extra effort needed to equip themselves for the highly-demanding technical assignments. Technical training courses,

for instance

, could help alleviate the gap in technology-related subjects. One issue that arises due to

this

joblessness is students who have taken education loan will not be able to clear the debt, unless they get are offered a good package.

This

on the long-run reduces their self-confidence and

also

the quality of their life might be affected. The

second

problem is the majority of a country's youth sitting jobless will directly affect the economical growth as younger generation attribute to almost 50% of the total population. The

first

possible solution is the state should create temporary or short-term

jobs

for the freshly graduated students which would train them with the necessary

skills

required. Corporates,

for example

, should offer internship for the

right

candidates with extraordinary techno-functional

skills

. The

second

way to solve the

lack

of

jobs

is to train the students with soft

skills

whilst they are still in college.

As a result

, while they graduate they will have all the qualities that are needed for IT

jobs

. In conclusion,

lack

of

right

attitude and shortage of technology knowledge may add to the joblessness, and

this

could be overcome by providing the youth with the required training and offering

jobs

for the eligible graduates.
