Essay:                                         Unemployment

 

Employment means the availability of paid work. Unemployment means the absence of employment. Employment is very hard to get in the period of economic recession. Pakistan is facing this problem with all its severity. Every year we have a great number of degree-holders but the job opportunities are not adequate to meet the requirement.
Generally, there are many reasons for unemployment in the world. But in our country, it is mainly due to the lack of planning. 

Our schools, colleges and universities are giving traditional education which has no utility in the modern time. The syllabi that are taught are old. They have little concern with the courses taught outside. So when our graduates have to compete the foreign graduates, they fail to get any job.
One of the basic reasons of unemployment is that there is no institution or organization of students' counselling. If our students are provided proper guideline in the beginning, they can opt for such subjects as have validity in the market. We simply run blindly in one direction. When it gets saturated, we turn our direction. 

Political instability and the inefficiency of our planners are the other reasons for this large-scale unemployment. Our political leaders wish to oblige the voters of their area. They try to give all the opportunities to their own people. They do not observe the policy of merit. The outcome is dissatisfaction of the deserving poor people.
Whatever the reasons are, this problem must be solved at the earliest There are many families which depend on the job of a single person. If that person remains unemployed, the whole family remains disturbed. For this purpose, the private sector can be motivated. If government gives certain relaxation to this sector, in return it can ask for providing jobs to a certain number of the jobless young men.
Unemployment is a great curse. It shakes the young men who have just to start the practical phase of lives. We must not frustrate them in the very beginning. We should try to accommodate them as much as is possible for us.
