    Poverty and unemployment are one of the major problems in Somalia. Most of the people here are ignorant, but the educated class also faces many obstacles in getting employment. There are many challenges due to the lack of resources in areas such as political instability, corruption, infrastructure, technology, agriculture, education, and health.

    To find solutions to these problems we consider a few more points that are:

    The Impact of Political Instability on Youth Employment

    Somalia is a country where there are many problems due to political instability, especially the main reason for unemployment among the youth is only due to political instability. In view of the worsening political situation in Somalia, foreign investment companies avoid coming here and then its direct effects affect the employment of the youth. It is necessary to improve the political situation here, which will create permanent employment opportunities for the youth.

    Education and Skill Gaps: Barriers to Employment

    In Somalia there is a lack of skills along with education, here if an educational institution is giving students an educational certificate, they are not teaching them the skills related to education that are in demand in other countries. It is important in Somalia that along with good education, relevant skills are also taught so that the youth can easily get a job in any good organization after getting an education. There is a lack of technical and vocational skills among Somalia’s youth, and investment in educational institutions is essential to fill this gap.

    Entrepreneurship as a Solution to Youth Unemployment

    The government of Somalia does not have enough resources to provide many jobs to the youth of its country, but the government here can pave the way for youth entrepreneurship, which can easily provide employment to educated unemployed youth.

    The Role of Technology and Innovation in Job Creation

    Many countries have created employment opportunities for their youth through technology and innovation, one example of which is India and Pakistan, where millions of young people are engaged in the IT sector, making their country a list of developed countries. If the government of Somalia wants to, it can create resources for its youths from which they can earn employment by becoming skilled in technology. Thanks to technology, young people can earn from home if they learn skills like website designing, graphics video editing, and programming.

    Policy Measures for Tackling Youth Unemployment in Somalia

    The youth of Somalia need many policy measures to get out of unemployment. These policy measures can also be taken by the government, while the international organizations that are doing work here are also very important for them. The most important thing in the policy measures is to create employment opportunities for the youth. It is important to invest in business sectors and create an enabling environment to train them. It is very important to establish friendly relations with other countries to promote foreign investment and then create employment opportunities for the youth here.

    To eliminate unemployment among the youth, it is necessary to promote foreign investment in the sectors in which the Somali leadership lacks funds to improve. To solve the problems of education and employment, it is necessary to promote technology and entrepreneurship. It is necessary to make the youth skilled and to invest in the field of information technology. One way to solve all these problems is the assistance provided by international organizations.
