Unemployment Problem of Bangladesh

Employment is an occupation which is productive of wealth. Unemployment is the opposite of employment. When a man is out of any kind of work, he is said to be in a state of unemployment. It has become a worldwide problem now. It is also a great problem in our country.
Unemployment is a great social evil. For the peace and prosperity of social life, is imperative that all the able-bodied persons in a society should be engaged in one or other occupation and earn money to maintain themselves and their families. An unemployed man has to lead a vagabond life. Life becomes a curse and burden to him. Moreover an unemployed person has an idle brain which very soon becomes the devil’s workshop. There goes an old saying, “An idle brain is the workshop of devil.” An analysis of social evils shows that many of them have unemployment at their root.
Unemployment is a worldwide problem. No country of the world can boastfully claim that she is absolutely free from the problem of unemployment. But no where in the world this problem is as acute as in our country. Why is the problem so acute in our country? The reasons are not far to seek. In the first place, our country is industrially very backward. There are a few mills, factories and firms in our country. Cottage industries are not in a flourishing condition. The mills and factories that we have can give employment to a limited number of people. Secondly, our agricultural sector can not employ a large number of people because the supply of land is limited and insufficient for this vast population. Thirdly, our system of education fails to give a student an independent start in life. It has little provision for vocational training. Fourthly, our students have false sense of dignity and prestige in being officers. They think that service is more honourable than an independent business. So they run madly after jobs in various govt. and non-govt. organizations. Fifthly, inequitable distribution of natural wealth and abnormal growth rate of the population work jointly or separately to intensify the problem in our country.

There is no magic lamp which can solve this huge problem over night. In order to eradicate this problem we have to mobilize all our energies to this great purpose without wasting time. A large number of mills, factories and industries should be set up where many of our unemployed youths will be engaged. A great change should be brought in our education system. More importance should be given on professional, vocational and technical education. These will open doors of possibilities before the unemployed youths. The educated youths should change their attitude to life. They must learn choose independent career. They can work in agricultural field, cultivating fish, growing vegetables and rearing up animals. More over we have to widen the path of work for our womenfolk in all sectors. Thus we can get rid of the curse of unemployment from our society as well as our country.                 
      
The problem of unemployment is getting more and more acute in Bangladesh day by day. Let us hope with the above steps our country will be free from the curse of unemployment in near future. Then people of our country will smile with fields full of crops, granaries full of corn, byres full of cattle and ponds abound with fish.
