2. Introduction
• I am glad that someone finally decided to ask the youth
what do they think about unemployment in their
country. We are also affected with this main problem
for many countries. So why don’t include us?
• Unemployment is doing lot of harm to
the young people and the world to.
Unemployed youth is getting more
depressed, stressed, they are losing their
self-esteem, they are not getting
married, doesn’t want to raise a children
in this kind of world whey they can’t
afford them the essential things for
living…
3. • Every country in European Union has a high rate of
unemployed youth, and they don’t know how to solve it. If
they have been trying to solve it young people wouldn’t be
so much interested in leaving their country and finding luck
in some other part of the world.
• That is such a shame because many of them are high
educated people with college degree. Government has
been investing in their knowledge thru the 8 or 9 years long
elementary education, 4 years long high
school education and at the end 3+2 years long
college education.
• After this kind of brain drain countries will
be needing to import some high education
experts, work force, because they made their
own youth to leave their country.
4. • Young people should be allowed to find a decent job so
they can move out from their parents home and be
independent. They should be able to buy some place
they can call home. Maybe one day start a family and
have kids. Secure their life when they will be retire. But
this isn’t possible in this kind of situation.
• Unemployment is high, higher
than ever. And now finally
there is a competition where
young people are asked for
opinion.
5. Solution to Youth Unemployment
• The solution for unemployment is, obviously, to create new
jobs. Usually that’s not easy because of many reasons, such
as the overall economic environment.
• Due to that, I’m going to try to bring up some of solutions
for youth unemployment that would in my opinion help
reduce youth unemployment.
• Some of that solutions could be entrepreneurial
incubators, better education system, stimulated
internships, SSTOB – students start their own business, cash
help, limited students work, lower tax rates and other
charges for
a young employees, lower the number of people that
can attend college, bring a law by which firms are obligate
to employ a certain percentage of young employees , web
6. • entrepreneurial incubators: it allows young people to
develop their jobs from their own idea. The government is
providing them with a business space that has all of the
necessary equipment ( phones, chairs, tables, computers…
) that they need to run a business. All they have to do is
pay the government symbolic amount of money for using
the space. They usually need to be out from
entrepreneurial incubator in a period of one year.
• better education system: ther is too much of theory in our
classrooms and very little of practical work. Schools should
be finding partners that will be willing to hire youth and
educate them, give tham opprortunity for practical
work, students at the higher years of college should
be doing samll projects for local businessmen....
7. • stimulated internships: they should be encouraging employer to
employ young people. Goverment will be giving them a
paycheck and paying other charges
while employers get a ‘’free worker’’
• SSTOB – students start their own business: give a
students at the higher years of education , master's
degree program, symbolic amount of money so they
could start their own business.
For example, college or government could give
every single student for example 200,00 E to
start their own business project. Professors
should help them with any kind of problems
they have while they are trying to form their
company. Students can succeed in their business
and have their own firm.
8. • cash help: Governance should offer young people that are
jobless some kind of cash help to set up their own
businesses. That cash help could be in shape of some kind
of credit with extremely low interest, or without interest
with few years of grace period.
• limited students work: Many firms have become hungry for
money so they are using, low paid, students and forcing
them to work full time just like any other worker. They are
using regular student business contracts to hire someone
that doesn’t even go to college
just so that they could avoid
paying taxes and other charges
to the government. . Because of all this,
students work should be limited to max 3
hours per day.
9. • bring a law by which firms are obligate to employ a certain
percentage of young employees: I got this idea by the
Dutch low, where firms are obligate to employ a certain
percentage of persons with disabilities, we could apply this
on youth too.
• lower tax rates and other charges for a young employees:
they should lower tax rates and other charges for a young
employees up to 30 years old and introduce a long term
contracts for the young employees that will force
employers to hire them to the minimum of 48
months. First year the employer will be exempt of any
governance charges, the governance will be paying
health insurance and pension fund, while at the
second year the employer will be obligate to pay the
governance all types of charges that they
usually pay for any other
worker
10. Planned results and outcomes
• This is a very interesting project, because the project theme
is almost every day in the media and around us, so we
don’t think that information on this project will be hard to
find.
• Because of that we think that maybe 40 or 50 working
hours max would be enough. Also we won’t be needing to
look around the young unemployed people because they
are all around us. Sad but true. We are in contact with
them every day, friends and colleges, and we usually
discuss about this particular problem with them.
• We hope we will finish our
project with in deadline.
