CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG THE YOUTH

CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG THE YOUTH

EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY

George Ogola (2019) analyzed some characteristics of unemployment in Tororo and the influence of some selected variables on employment growth. He attributed the unemployment problem to factors like selectivity among school leavers whose expectations/aspirations are to gain modern sector employment in spite of the limited opportunities in the sector. He observed that of all the unemployed youth, 26.1% had completed primary education and 38.6% had acquired secondary school education. These large proportions of persons with secondary school education was a reflection of job selectivity on their part because of their high expectations of well paying white collar jobs and are often reluctant to accept low level jobs. The purpose of this research is to find ways of addressing unemployment situations among the educated and uneducated youth of Manyanya village.

At the International Youth Day Celebrations (2009), the youth in their memorandum outlined challenges still being faced by them in finding employment. These included influx of foreign workers brought by investors, lack of support for young entrepreneurs especially in the rural areas, lack of access to resources like land and capital; lack of focus by existing programs on the informal sector and agriculture, negative cultural practices such as gender discrimination among others. That all these limit their access to profitable activities.

Lincoln (2007) identified that policies like structural adjustment which involve cutting costs, shading labour or freezing public sector wages and cutting employment through cutting public services affects youth so much. He added that governments tend to be excessively bureaucratic which cause unnecessary delay for youth to at least start their own businesses hence remaining unemployed.
