Unemployment remains the biggest challenge for school leavers. To what extent do you agree? What other challenges do young people face today?

n the present age,

However

,

unemployment

is not the only difficulty that youth faces today.

First

of all, it is becoming harder to find a

for

school

is that the government tries to keep an

is that they usually fall in that percentage of

unemployment

, because of a lack of working

experience

. Another big challenge that young

face after finishing

school

is starting an independent life.

This

includes a lot of things like acquiring their own place to live, learning how to maintain that place, making their own plans, appointments with no help from parents or guardians and paying bills and rent.

This

can be quite tricky because the

school

doesn’t teach young

people

basic life skills that can be necessary when living independently. They can of course turn to their parents for help, but not everyone has

such

a privilege. Of course, none of these challenges can even begin before a young person finds a

because to live independently

need to have a steady income. To conclude I believe that

unemployment

is the main problem that young

people

face after finishing

school

.

This

is mainly because of how the

job

market is built. Other challenges can only begin after finding a

job

.
