The picture you see here says a lot about the topic our blog is focusing on. The people here are demanding a change. The unemployment rates in Africa are only continuing to get worse and them problem doesn't seem to be getting resolved. The people of Africa in this picture are taking a stand and trying to make something be done about this issue. This has been going on for long enough and they're tired of nothing being done. They seem to be protesting against this and trying to get somebody's attention. Somebody who will realize what is going on, who actually cares and who will take action and do something about this. Nobody seems to care, but what if it were your country? Then would it be a big deal to you? What is it going to take for people to take charge and resolve this?
The woman in the front is holding a sign that reads "We demand skills and development. Decent jobs for youth." The people of Africa don't have the greatest education. They get very little or they're just completely illiterate. The skills they learn aren't great which causes them not to develop right. In order to get better skills and development, they need to get a better education. The government needs to take action and take part in brightening their futures. The lack of education is what leads to unemployment especially for the youth. Because of their lack of knowledge, the youth either have terrible jobs, or none at all. If the job you have isn't good, there's really no point in having one. The people of Africa are demanding skills and development that will help them learn more and better their education. Learning more will help them to gain more knowledge which will be helpful when it comes to finding a job. This then leads back to "decent jobs for youth." After gaining these skills and development, the youth's education will be better, which will lead them to finding a good, and safe job. With more kids getting decent educations and decent jobs, the unemployment rate will begin to fall, solving many of the problems they have in Africa.
Like most of the other posts here on this blog, you see yet again that the unemployment problem leads back to education. The lesser the education, the harder it is to find jobs. No jobs mean no money. With no money, how could you possibly survive? The people of Africa have been living like this for long enough and I think it's about time someone do something about it. The government seems to be sitting back doing nothing and that's the biggest problem. They run the country, they should be the ones addressing this issue, but instead they're acting as if it is not even there. If this were your country, what would you do? Wouldn't you want help in resolving this? It's not fair for everyone to just watch this happen. People should work together to help create jobs and education facilities that will help these people. It doesn't take much to put a little effort in and try to make a difference in peoples lives. In fact, it'll all be worth it in the end.
It's really sad how badly the people of Africa want a change and it seems nearly impossible for them. A lot of people blame the low unemployment rate on the also low education rate. However , these people are not motivated to get an actual education because what is the point of going to school if you aren't promised a job after all that work? If they made more jobs available to these young kids I think both the unemployment and education rates would increase,
ReplyDeleteThe government needs to realize that this needs to be fixed. It won't only help all Africans, but can help the country in a whole too. The government seems to not know what to do and not really care to do anything. In the article I wrote, Bill and Melinda Gates have a plan to help them. Hopefully it will wake the African government up, so they can step up.
ReplyDeleteI feel as if several important people need to work together to solve this issue. One person can't do it on their own, and the government certainly isn't going out of their way to do anything so people need to start working as a team. The problem will be solved a lot faster and even better with the help of all these people. If people really want to help make a difference, they will do whatever they can to help these people. Team work is a great quality.
