strategies and oversight.

of training courses as vocational schools are
traditionally 5 to 15 years behind current needs.

farming, cottage industries and to open new system

18. Conclusion & Recommendation:
High rate of unemployment, particularly of the
educated youths, poses serious socio-
economic problems.
A jobless educated youth, particularly a male,
becomes a burden for his family. He gets little
respect in his family or in the society. This
forces him to resort to criminal activities such
as hijacking, working as a trafficker of
dangerous drugs, working as a muscleman of a
corrupt politician, or joining a group of
militants.

19. In view of what has been stated above, it is
high time to ascertain the correct rate of
unemployment in the country, and it must be
free from political bias in the greater national
interest.
IN the prime minister's question-answer
session on February 17, Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina disclosed in the House her
government's plan to bring down
unemployment rate to 15 percent from the
existing 40 percent by the year 2021.
