Unemployment is a central problem from which various other problems are hatching out. It causes frustration, backwardness, poverty among the people and forces them to go astray and follow the path of crime.
It increases tension as people are forced to live well under their earnings. While the crime rates gets higher and higher, our police is unable to counter it owing to the fact the problem lies somewhere else, not in the act of actual crime. It is the reasons that have to be countered.
With the wayward government policies that are directly or indirectly supporting terrorism, it is no wonder that more and more people are doing what is totally illegal and unethical.
Lack of resources and increase in loadshedding are forcing the industrialists to wind up their business. To cover their losses they have to lay off their employees which adds to more unemployed people in society. The government must take action to bring this situation under control; otherwise, we will be a lawless country altogether.
