Problems Of Enlightened!(Youth)
Modern young people can be divided into three groups- educated people, half-educated people, and uneducated people. Each group faces several problems in life.The main problem of educated people is getting suitable employment. Most educated people find themselves unfit for most of the available jobs. The job-givers want them to posses at least three years’ experience in the particular fields of service. But fresh graduates get into some of these jobs through strong recommendations. The vacant situation are filled up with qualified candidates in the long run or some of them are given to raw candidates on lesser payments.
Vacancies in professional (medical) and technical fields are easily and quickly filled up with either experienced or inexperienced educated people. A competitive examination is written by thousand of qualified candidates although only a few hundred vacancies are there are there to be filled up.From these facts we understand that job opportunities are given to all the qualified hands , but not jobs. The people who are not selected for appointment are in thousands. They try their luck in other fields and a few of them succeed in getting jobs. The rest remain unemployed. They blame the government for not giving a job to everyone of them and the education system which has not given them such education as will get each of them a job.
They don’t understand that no government can create jobs to accommodate all of them because graduates are manufactured, so to say, in thousands every year. Besides , young people should understand that the universities do not only have such courses of study as will guarantee jobs to all the students as soon as they become graduates. The university, to be worthy of the name, should have courses of study in all the facilities or in the important branches of learning. Several under-graduates should desire to have university education for accomplishment although most students want to become graduates to earn their living.
The graduates who don’t get jobs may start their business if their fathers are merchants and businessmen. The educated people who are not rich and who are unemployed may get the government help to start some cottage industry or small scale industry.The remaining educated people face unemployment, poverty and humiliation. They develop inferiority complex. They feel small before the employed. They remain dependents upon their parents or earning brothers for a long time. Some of them commit suicide for want of employment; some become borrowers and debtors; some die of starvation; and several become criminals like thieves, pick-pockets, burglars, smugglers, murderers for money and terrorists.
The private sector offers employment to thousands of the unemployed. The factories, industries, organization,unions and individuals like businessmen, lawyers, sectors, engineers, officers and families employ educated, half-educated and uneducated people. But even then the number of the unemployed goes on increasing because they can’t employ all the unemployed and the population of the country goes on increasing. The growth of the number of jobs does not keep pace with the growth of population.
Only some of the half-educated and some of the uneducated get permanent government and non-government jobs. Most of these two classes of people get temporary employment. Several thousands of them remain unemployed. To get rid of their hunger they become criminals and beggars if they are not wealthy.When criminals are caught and punished, they lose their prestige in the society. After their release from prison they again face the unemployment problem. They revert to their criminal life, only to be captured and punished again.
At the college most students don’t get seat in the courses they like. Some students don’t thrive well in the courses in which they are admitted. Hundreds of students are poor and struggle to get on with their educational career. Though they are helped with scholarship offered by the state government, the central government and private organization, associations and managements, their families are tortured by poverty. They don’t have the necessary domestic conveniences to study. Some students have of leave off their studies in the middle of the course on account of the death of their father or guardian. Some students are too delicate in health and they too quit studies.
Ragging , group clashes, politics and private prejudices of students and professors are the problems faced by modern students. Disappointment in love ruins some students. The immoral activities of some students get them into trouble and shame, drug-addiction spoils several students. They lose money and health. The irresistible temptation of a bad life is a big problem for several students. Unemployment or poor income, or temporary service prevents young men from getting married. It is a problem for them to get brides for marriage. Most uneducated and poor men get jobs for daily wages, but they don’t get work everyday.
Most young women who are educated to get jobs face the same problems as the educated young men. Some women get university education for accomplishment. The other educated young women get married and they face the usual domestic problems including early child birth. In fact, the half-educated and the uneducated young women have no problem of unemployment when they are married unless their poor family conditions compel then to go for jobs. So young women have to face the problems of unemployment, ill-health and early child-birth. They have to face mainly domestic problems. But when we consider the life young widows, we have to pity them. Young widowers don’t have the problems which young widows have to face in life.
Restructuring the education system , social life, political life, employment in all fields, and lessening the speed of population growth may help reduce the problems of the modern youth.
