Introduction: Unemployment means the state of being
without any work both for the educated and the uneducated for earning One’s
livelihood. This problem has become a great concern all over the world. But
nowhere in the world this problem is so acute as in Bangladesh. Thousands of
people on our country are without any job. At present the toughest task for any
young man is to manage a job. It is tedious and sometimes humiliating. A person
has to ran year after year from office to office to find out a job. Hundreds of
candidate’s swarms over a single post. The bad effect of unemployment is not
only confined to the economic field but also destroys the sense of moral values
for want of employment. Many young people become frustrated. They have to lead
a vagabond life. They have to idle away their time. Life becomes a curse and
burden to them. When there is no dim ray of hope, they resort to commit
different types of crimes like hijacking, plundering, robbery, murder,
terrorism, drug addicting etc.
Cause of unemployment: There are many reasons behind unemployment
problem.
Population growth: Our country is over populated. The
rapid growth of population is the main reason of unemployment problem. Job
facilities a are very small in proportion to the growth of propagation. And this increasing number of population
outpaces all development of the country.
Industrial backwardness: Our country is industrially
very much backward. In fact, the development in this field is very slow.
Cottage industries have almost decayed. The few mills, factories and industries
that we have can only absorb a limited number of people.
Limited cultivable land: Most of the people of our
country depend on agriculture. But our cultivable land is very limited So, it can
not engage a huge number of people. Moreover, this profession is seasonal. So,
the farmers have to sit idle for few months in a year.
Faulty education system: Our present system of
education in stated of giving any solution, creates educated unemployed young
men. In out educational system there is no much scope of vocational training
and technical education to student. So, after taking the highest degree even
from the highest seat of learning, they remain unemployed.
Attitude of our educated Youngman: Our educated Youngman
generally think it to be disgraceful to do any manual work. They prefer service
to any kind of business. This false sense of dignity and prestige is one of the
reasons of their being unemployed.
Solution: In order to eradicate this problem, we have
to mobilize all our energies to this great purpose without wasting time. The
most essential measure is the industrialization of our country. A large number
of mills, factories and industries should be set up where many of unemployed
youths will get the opportunity to work.
A great change should be brought in our education system.
More importance should be given on professional, vocational and technical
education. This will make an opening to work in different industrial sectors
both home and abroad.
The educated youth should change their attitude to life. The
must learns to choose independent career. They can work in agriculture filed,
cultivate fish, grow vegetables. They can start small business. In fact, self-employment
is a possible solution to this great problem.
