2. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: INTRODUCTION
In simple terms AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is when computers and machines can do tasks
that usually need human thinking, like learning, problem-solving, and understanding
language.
It's like giving computers the ability to be smart in their own way.
In recent years, the growing use of digital technologies and the internet has considerably
aided the expansion of the worldwide artificial intelligence industry.
AI is playing an increasingly vital role across various industries, transforming the way
businesses operate and providing new opportunities for efficiency, innovation, and
growth.
3. • According to Next Move Strategy Consulting, the artificial intelligence (AI) sector will increase rapidly over the next decade.
• Its current worth of roughly 100 billion US dollars is predicted to more than double by 2030, reaching nearly two trillion USD.
4. AI AND JOB AUTOMATION
AI technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and
robotics, have the ability to perform tasks that traditionally required human
intelligence and skills.
As AI continues to advance, it has the potential to automate various jobs
across different industries.
While AI has the potential to automate certain tasks and jobs, it also brings
opportunities for innovation, productivity improvement, and the creation of
new job roles.
5. PRESENT STATISTICS ON YOUTH EMPLOYMENT
RATES GLOBALLY
The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the already existing challenges in the job market that youth usually
encounter.
In 2020, the global employment deficit for youth was 8.2%, compared to 2019. Meanwhile, the deficit for
adults was less than half of that.
The global deficit fell to 5.9 per cent in 2021 and decreased further to 4.5 per cent in 2022.
621 million youth aged 15-24 years old are not in education, employment or training.
75 million youth are trained but have no job.
In the next decade, one billion youth will enter the labour market, and large numbers of young people face a
future of irregular and informal employment.
Almost 90% of all young people live in developing countries.
Youth are approximately three times more likely to be unemployed than adults (2.7).
It is estimated that 23% of young people currently employed in the world earn less than $1.25 US a day.
6. CHALLENGES FACED BY YOUTH IN FINDING EMPLOYMENT
Finding employment can be challenging for youth due to a combination of
factors that affect their entry into the job market.
These challenges can vary depending on the region, economy, education
system, and societal norms.
Here are some common challenges faced by youth when seeking employment:
Lack of Experience
Educational Mismatch
Limited Skills and Training
Competition
Lack of Professional Network
Unpaid Internships and Exploitation
Age and Perception
Geographical Constraints
Economic Factors
Automation and Skill Shifts
Language and Communication
Barriers
Mental Health and Well-Being
High Expectations
7. IMPORTANCE OF EQUIPPING YOUTH WITH RELEVANT SKILLS
Equipping youth with relevant skills is of paramount importance for their personal
development, employability, and the overall progress of society.
Here's why ensuring that young people have the right skills is crucial:
