WHO TO BLAME?


The level of unemployed graduates in South Africa displays a cause of urgent concern for South African Government. High School students coming from both advantaged and disadvantaged backgrounds that have been granted the opportunity to study have been automatically placed in a predicament where finding work may just as challenging as completing the degree itself. Universities, Technical Faculties and Colleges annually send thousands of young and hopeful graduates into South Africa’s job market, in hopes of finding work in their field of study.
It is unfortunate that graduates have to face the fact that government cannot provide jobs or working experience.why should student study while there is no work?
A daunting, startling, and unsettling reality awaits most undergraduates. The gap displayed between the funds provided by government by financial aid schemes and loans to study and not being able to find a job to repay these funds back to the supplier (whether it be a local bank or government) poses a challenge that many South Africans are facing.An important question is:
is it  the governments fault that the unemployment rate is so high?

    3. First of all what we need to understand is that the government does not provide jobs,but rather suitable working conditions. And, therefore, yes we can look upon the government to create jobs, but we need to remember that government also needs money. So now my question is that where does the government get the money from? Let me answer that for you-it needs to borrow money from other countries and it can also increase taxation. What are the consequences thereof? Who wants to pay more tax? So I understand that one might not really get my point. Look,yes government does provide study loans for people to further their education, of which from my perspective this is just a waist because these people going to universities are being trained to do a better job and not to create a better job, and therefore my concern is the level of education in our country and not employment. The reason for my concern is simple, if you can tell me, how many companies do we have in our country? are they adequate to acomadate all students graduating every year? Who are the incorporators of those companies, does it have be the government?

  5. why blame the government.hence the word ''government comes from the word ''govern '' which means to control and direct the making and administration of policy in a county and so forth ,firstly this bad habit of blaming the government for evertyhing that goes wrong should come to an end secondly the government shouldnt only be the only person responsible for creating jobs and lastly since we can see that the government isnt doing what its ''supposed'' to be doing how about we do it our selves . the ''how'' to do it is usually where most people get stuck . how about we start spending less on materialistic things and start working together with the government and start supporting each other eg buying more of local brands which will help entrepreneurs sustian their businesses which will lead to them hiring more people decreasing the level of unemployment and other things all in all it is not only the governments job and or responsibity to create more jobs
