After a discussion with several graduates in Uganda in getting jobs both from their government and international Organizations such UN agencies and Nongovernmental groups here is what one have to say “(Amonye, means father), a lot have changed back home (uganda).Gone are the days when students are booked for employment before completing their courses. A Lot of vices have cropped in the recruitment process, employers prioritizing their relatives. Currently people pay up to 10Milions(about 3000USD) to get government jobs.Many people have studied and yet little deliberate actions of jobs creation by government to absorb the growing number of graduates. Its really a big social issue, hence seeing so many uganda leaving the country. Its not really the problem of the people in the areas as you have stated, but an issue beyond us.

Currently, Pakistan faces a serious employment crisis, with over 5.6 million people unemployed. Beyond the statistics, there’s a disturbing trend of skilled workers being undervalued, mistreated, or denied the compensation they’ve rightfully earned. 📌A friend of mine recently had to leave her job because her manager’s behavior towards her became excessively casual. When she confronted him, she was let go. 📌Talented professionals, with 5-6 years of experience, are leaving their jobs because they’re still being paid entry-level trainee salaries. 📌Almost 40% of LinkedIn complaints right now are from employees whose companies are failing to release their salaries on time, despite their hard work and dedication. These issues highlight not only an economic crisis but also a growing problem with the workplace environment itself. Toxicity, favoritism, and lack of respect for boundaries are eroding employee well-being. People are forced to choose between tolerating mistreatment or risking unemployment. This year, the theme for World Mental Health Day was “Mental Health in the Workplace.” The focus on mental health has never been more crucial. A healthy workplace isn’t just about meeting deadlines or getting tasks done—it’s about building a space where people feel safe, respected, and valued. It’s time for workplaces to evolve, because a truly successful company is one that prioritizes the well-being of its people. #WorkplaceWellness #MentalHealthintheWorkplace #WorldmentalhealthDay #Employmentcrisis

GLOBAL VS. LOCAL TALENT: A MISSED OPPORTUNITY? 🇵🇰 While many developed countries face challenges with an aging population and low birth rates, resulting in fewer young people entering the workforce, Pakistan boasts one of the largest and most dynamic youth populations globally. Yet, we seem to be missing a crucial opportunity. Our youth, brimming with potential, often lack access to mass vocational training programs that could prepare them for global job markets. Both the government and private sector need to step up their efforts to equip our young talent with the skills necessary to meet job opportunities worldwide. Here’s a thought: Why not initiate programs where young professionals can register their talents, receive training, and secure employment abroad? Such programs could even include a system where fees are collected post-employment, ensuring that both the individual and program benefit from successful placements. Moreover, leveraging open media to showcase the percentage of unemployed youth and their potential could drive more focus and action toward this cause. Let’s think about how we can transform this demographic advantage into tangible global success.

it's another time to remind everyone of us that in less than one decade Africa will be ushering over 1.1 billion young people into the labour market. so the question is how prepared are we to make sure that these young people are engaged without issues of job congections in the continent. Africa will be richer in man power, richer in technical advancements but how much efforts are we putting in place to make these professionals jobs to accommodate these young professionals.

Challenges of finding a job in Zambia. ------------------------------------------—---------- There are so many challenges of finding a job in Zambia but I will basically highlight one of which I feel is affecting a lot of Graduate. #THE_DESIRE_TO_GRADUATE_AT_THE_EXPENSE_OF_LEARNING. In my academic journey I noticed that a lot of students wants to graduate but they don't want to learn, this trend has resulted in a large number of graduates who are not adequately prepared for their professional fields. This is why we have a lot of graduates who don't even know what they are supposed to do in their field of work. Students these days visits drinking splees more than they attend classes, they get good grades in assignments they pay for, they don't want to learn but only study for tests and exams and once they clear they burry everything. My interactions with a few HRM's shows that most of the companies have a fear of starting to teach a graduate what he was supposed to learn from school. The desire to graduate at the expense of learning has proven the incompetence of the so called fresh minds. We are in a competitive world as a student strive for excellence while at school and inasmuch as you desire to graduate desire to learn also.

Recently people have been whining a lot about a stat about the Graduate Unemployment Rate of Bangladesh. You can’t solve the problem as a whole overnight. And complaining about something you can’t control does not add value. Instead of talking about things which are not in our control, we should talk more about things which are in our control. We should ask the question, “How can we be more employable?” Your employability does not only lie in your degree. It depends on ✅ How you articulate your thoughts and views confidently. ✅ Your knowledge of the subject matter you’re talking about. ✅ How you meet the deadlines with high quality deliveries. ✅ How Street smart you are to prioritize works. ✅ How you approach a problem to get solutions. ✅ How good of a communicator you are when working with multiple stake holders. ✅ How you become a reliable resource at work. #career #employment #careergrowth

There are about 2 million Papua New Guineans living in towns and cities through out the country. Many of these people are unemployed due to lack of jobs in the formal employment sector.
