The Silver Lining in Our Unemployment Problem Perhaps?

The Silver Lining in Our Unemployment Problem Perhaps?

It is no secret that with each year, there are more and more qualified individuals in Tanzania but less jobs and opportunities. Each university in the country releases a minimum of 8,000 candidates; all of whom are looking forward to acquiring jobs based on their degree. There are 10+  universities…the math is scary isn’t it? Far too many graduates! These are also the same individuals that feed off what their parents teach them; graduate, get a good job, earn money, start a family e.t.c e.t.c… we all know how this sequence goes.

 

Much to their dismay, life has not worked in their favor or as they predicted. Consequently, the unemployment rate in Tanzania has increased by over 10% annually. This means that the youth are becoming more and more depressed and frustrated.  Also, the overall safety in the country has decreased as these youth turn to criminal-like activities as a means of putting food in their mouth. At least 70% of individuals caught for petty theft are between the ages of 16-35 years old.

As a society there is a need to break free from the status-quo mentality and not only think but ACT outside the box. The new safe haven is betting; which can raise eyebrows initially however, if one thinks about it… it is quite beneficial. Minimum investments in aspects such as Sports Betting or Casino games can yield big returns; returns that can be used as capital to start businesses that can be profitable and actively contribute to the country’s GDP.
