MDG Contest: Youth's contribution to nation development Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Secondly, governments of most countries could take the challenge to create jobs through the following ways: Firstly, by expanding or opening up their economies to diverse fields like agriculture, hydrology, meteorology and climatologic, civil aviation, genetic engineering, aeronautics just to name a few, which are absent in the economies of most developing nations. This will help to create employment in the fields mentioned above.

Thirdly, the government should come up with favorable policies with different nations on investment, which will help foreign investors to be stimulated to come and invest hence reducing unemployment.

Fourthly, the government should create industries, which are mostly labor intensive and not capital inattentive. Still, industry subsidies could be granted to industries willing to witness a high growing rate of unemployment. Also, the government should see into the decentralization of overcrowded industrial zones to other areas of rising populations of unemployment.

Fifthly, most educational systems around the world should be reformed in such a way as to ensure self-employment after the students leave school especially at the level of colleges and universities. Vocational schools and other processional schools will be of greater help than general education.

Sixthly, the retirement ages of civil servants especially in Africa should be scrutinized against those who reduce their ages through fake documents in order to stay long in service hence hindering employment opportunities for youth. And also these ages should be strictly followed and those due for retirement should be forced to go on retirement.

Finally, governments should reduce their taxes. This has been the cry of most nations on developing nations because this acts as a deterrent to foreign investment. Nationally, it helps to reduce the income of most workers and also deters local investment. If taxes are reduced especially on foreign investments most foreign investors will be attracted and hence employment will go on the rise. This story holds true for local investment, too.
If taxes in effect are reduced on personal incomes savings will increase and hence investment, too. And also if taxes are reduced on already existing companies and enterprises they may have potentials to realize larger profits, which they may plough into the business have enabling growth and hence increasing employment.

4. Inefficiency and insufficient educational structures
In most parts of Africa and Asia, schools are seen as a luxury because of their few numbers and also in other areas they are non-existent. People often have to travel long distances to get to schools and this is for those who can afford school fees. In some places learning is made difficult by poverty; students cannot afford transport money to go to school, insufficient staff and sometimes insufficiency of didactic material.
To this effect schools should be built where there is need and also equipped with the right labor force. Didactic material should also be applied to these schools in the right quantities and at the right time to enable proper learning.

Most governments and other international organizations can also help youth by offering them scholarships, especially in Africa and Asia, which will help them to pay their fees or even make them study abroad in order to come back and help their countries.
More formation centers for teachers should be created both at the regional levels and national level to cater the ever increasing need for teaches and lecturers.
Also, in order to reduce the number of students going abroad to study of which very few will return to help their countries, programs in colleges and universities should be diversified and brought up to date with international standards.

5. Moral decadence
Over the last few years, morals worldwide have been on the decline and youth are not left out of the story since they form an important part of the society. Today, dressing habits are fast changing, from bad to worse, mentalities are also changing considering right things as wrong and things as right, images on the media are all about prostitution, breast increment, pornography and stuff like that. And this is exactly what the youth copy. They become disobedient to their parents and just of their own way.

Looking at this problem closely if we target the youth through the media, sensitizing them an moral issues through journals, a TV station exclusively for youth, magazines, Internet books and other means of passing on the information. This will to a greater extend solve the problem on morals.

Also with the integration of civics and ethics as a course into school curriculum many youth will get aware of the current cry on the falling standards of morals among youth. Subsidies could also be granted to publishers of articles on morals be they in journals, books, magazines and other sources or media through which this information could be disseminated. Religious leaders too have a great role to play in the fight on the fall of morals. They should in their teachings and doctrines spread out targeted moral issues to the fullest. This will enable most youth to be called to order and whenever they are about to depart they will always have a bell to ring in their heads.
