Taiwan has experienced significant economic growth and development over the past 50 years, transforming from an agricultural economy to a global leader in electronics and technology.

Third, the Taliban actively recruits unemployed men as suicide bombers or fighters, exacerbating violence. High unemployment thus poses a significant threat to Afghanistan's stability and development.
