Globally, over 75 million youth were unemployed at the end of 2010.[1] Reasons for and rates of youth unemployment vary across national contexts. Official rates in the early 2010s decade ranged from under ten percent in Germany, Vietnam, Sierra Leone and Cuba to around fifty percent in countries including Armenia, Macedonia, South Africa, and Spain.

Youth Studies

YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT: A GLOBAL EMERGENCY!

Slide7

FROM LOSING SKILLZ TO REVOLUTIONAfter long-term unemployment, youth are in danger of losing skills, connections to their industry, and desire to work long into the future. After a period of unemployment during a recession, the individual will find it difficult to find work once the economy improves because they have a large gap in their work history.

Youth unemployment has many long-term consequences for the individual and for their country.

For some countries, high youth unemployment causes youth to leave the country in search of employment.

[18

High youth unemployment has led to social unrest and political revolutions.

The

Arab Spring

movement and the

protests in Greece

are recent examples of this.

programmes

Inadequate range and scope of employment services targeting vulnerabl idividuals and rural areas.

Slide17

CONCLUSION & RECOMENDATION Finding solutions to youth unemployment when the problem is exactly, the youngsters!1. Education is not enough to get hired,= if you

don’t have a degree

yo

u

dont get hired”.

.

INOVATION

OPTIMISM

ADAPTATION

VITALITY

SOLUTION

-Not prepared for the market - Skillz gap-Don’t know where and how to look for a job-Low self-esteem

“Only the owner can get the donkey out of the soil”

Slide18

Businesses today don’t do anymore what they used to do before to young staff: train them. Because of the costs especially in the period of recession when “time is money” is worth more than before.Usually businesses try to hire people with experience or already trained, if they don’t find them, they train them, motivate them, raise their wages according to their growth and they build trustful staff in the company etc. that’s is supposed to be the philosophy but in reality it doesn’t work like this.

CONCLUSION & RECOMENDATION

Slide19

Conclusions & Recomandation Prividing the right Statistics on levels and trends in educational attainment of the labour force can help the coutries to achieve social and economic goals especially to decrease youth unemployment. Having the right statistics helps to:Support analysis of the influence of skill levels on economic outcomes and the success of different policies in raising the educational level of the workforce;

Give an

indication of the degree of inequality in the distribution of education resources between groups of the population, particularly between men and women, and within and between countries; and

Provide an

indication of the skills of the existing

labor

force, with a view to discovering untapped potential.

Slide20

Conclusions & Recomandation As a main recomendation would be the need to promote investments in education for different population groups; I would recomend to change the slogan that says: “if u don’t have a degree u dont get hired”.Involving more the private sector, enterprises as the main actors who provide job opportunities, internship and training opportunities for youngsters.
