7 ways to
tackle the
causes of
employment.
1)The lack of qualification issue is something that we, as individuals, need to tackle ourselves. ‘GCSE’s and A Levels aren’t important’. Don’t listen to anyone that says that. With the way our country and the world for that matter are evolving, every qualification from GCSE is important that you do YOUR best in.
2) This is the job of all of society to conquer this issue. Firstly the individual needs to believe they can achieve more than what is expected of them and strive for this. As much as we don’t like to admit it, parents, carers and other family members have a significant influence on us. It is the job of these people to instil in us the idea that we can achieve anything we set our mind to and encourage us to reach for high goals. Then the government have a role. It is being done but needs to be done on a larger scale. They need to put programmes into place which will aid young people in inner cities to achieve high goals.
3) The government need to create jobs for young people, which is being done, but these tend to be graduate jobs which mean without a degree it becomes increasingly difficult to get these jobs. Businesses need to see young people as an investment rather than less experienced. By employing them young, you can start them on a small salary and get them to work their way up whilst brining in profit for your company.
4) The forth issue is not necessarily a big problem. All that needs to be done is there some be programmes for school leavers to find jobs more easily.
5) In a similar way to the third issue. It is the role of all of society to tackle this problem. For young who's lives have been affected by these social factors, the government should aim to set up programmes to consel and encourage them that if they are willing to work for it, they can achiene it.
6) The government should work to cut down on unofficial jobs and should join with the the police to cut down on the illegal jobs in this sector. Schools and people in authority have the duty to educate the young people that there are alternatives to the illegal jobs and work to enforce this.
7) The solution to hysteresis is the individual’s decision to work hard and look around for job opportunities. Also there should be more provisions in place for young people that are unemployed to find jobs. For people that are between jobs, there should be affordable courses that will help these young unemployed people acquire the vital skills for the profession they aim to go
into or for them to gain experience in their job sector.
In order for us to tackle youth unemployment, we must fight for as many of these 7 things as possible whether that is changing our own ways or encouraging society or the government to change their ways.
