Youth Unemployment Is The Next Global Crisis | real utopias | Scoop.it
NEW YORK -- The next global financial crisis has already started, in the form of nearly 75 million unemployed young people around the world.

Unemployment, especially Youth Unemployment is speeding up to become a global crisis. Many international forums and International Organizations are dealing with this very seriously to seek for desirable and practical solutions that can truly alleviate the seriousness.

Youth Unemployment

In today's society youth are more concerned to memorize what we need for a test and pass it rather than the importance of what we need to learn. There were people in 2013 that came out of college with degrees but no skills. The numbers are not high with people who major in things like physiology that get a really good job. In 2013 there was a mass of youth that did not have a job nearly 75 million young people unemployed around the world. From the age 15-24 there is a rate of 56 percent that are jobless. In some countries they cut social services which made it even harder for young people to find jobs. For instance Europe region relies on trade and tourism so when it suffers economically young people have to leave first. There should be a way to help younger people to get jobs that have degrees.


I did not know how high the percentage was for youth that's unemployed. It surprised me how many people have degrees and don't have jobs after they graduate.
