Each year, 900,000 young Tanzanians enter the job market that is generating only 50,000 to 60,000 new jobs. Meanwhile, with 600 million young globally slated to enter the job market in the next decade with only 200 million jobs awaiting them, the youth unemployment crisis is not projected to improve anytime soon.
There several factors contributing to the problem of unemployment to youths, these factors may differ from place to place such as:
1. Professional incompetence; a number of graduates have demonstrated poor professional skills for the respective job post such as poor communication skills when interviewed using the preferred official language i.e English of French language.
2. Lack of experience for the job posts whereby it has been reported that 90 percent of private sector have required at least 2 years of experience of which graduate applicants have failed in that case, one has to cheat to secure a job.
3. Not having the right resources to get them started with entrepreneurship journey to create more jobs.
