Over a billion young people live a normal life in the world today. This number raises annually, as well as the number of difficulties youths face daily. It is essential to consider that youth is the transition period between childhood and adulthood, and it has its breaks and problems.
One such issue is unemployment.
While youth worldwide face difficulties with unemployment, the Asia-Pacific youths suffer even more due to health, education, and economic problems. Statistics report that from 30 to 75% of all Asia-Pacificunemployed youth have been out of business for more than one year.
These are the difficulties young people engage in securing jobs or hiring in self-employment (Youth Employment):
Irrelevant education. Social-economic differences and rural-urban disparities have become a major obstacle to getting a relevant education, as most universities are far from students' living places. Sometimes young people have no chance to attend colleges and universities at all.
A lack of experience. If you want to get a good job position, you need to have expertise in this corner. Most employers look for skilled workers only.
Lack of skills. The Asia-Pacific region has several schools, colleges, and universities, but the quality of education here is often insufficient to acquire vital skills. This is another puzzle why grads can't get a great job.
No contacts. Nowadays, it would help if you networked to get a job. Employers try to hire newcomers with recommendations.
Twisted reality. At the age of 19-21, young people face psychosocial trauma based on their status and role ambiguity. It has become difficult to realize it is time to leave your family and start living independently.
Do youths have a way out? We recommend you pull motivation from the experience of young people who succeed.
