Unemployment is a growing concern in many countries with a lot of highly qualified

graduates

unable to find work.

This

is because the

government

is underequipped to provide employment to all the

graduates

and with new technologies coming in every day there is constant pressure for the

students

to up-skill them all the time. In many countries, the

government

has no proper method to streamline the employment process. The procedure to apply for a

government

job is very lengthy and difficult .

This

is one of the reasons why a lot of

students

choose to work in private companies despite the uncertainty with their job.

Although

this

might be difficult to implement in countries like India/China where the population is very high and the

government

cannot create

such

a high volume of jobs, it is definitely not impossible. Another reason for severe unemployment is technological advancements. We are forced to learn and level up our skills at all times. Because of ,

this

there is heavy competition among the

students

and the company’s like Google and Facebook are always looking out for very highly skilled candidates thereby setting a skill benchmark in the industry. Every company adapts to

this

benchmark

thus

making a lot of

graduates

unemployed. In my opinion, the only way to resolve

this

is by creating ample jobs in both

government

and private sectors and having the same selection and interview process. The companies

also

should start establishing the relevant skillset required for a particular job so that the

students

/

graduates

focus and learn to master the niche skill.
