Unemployment has been one of the major issues in my country and other countries as well, especially in developing countries. there are so many negative effect unemployment can cause to not just the individual but also to the society, yet the Government keeps on giving a blind eye to these problem. One major effect of unemployment in a community or country is increase in crime rate. Many might feel this is the only effect but there are so much more. There are so many cases of various crime carried out by not just the unemployed but even by our young ones as well out of peer pressure or greed.
INCREASE IN CRIME RATE:
Though it is quit common for these crimes to take place, but it has become very rampant. as at Friday, 30th of July last month, my phone was stolen. and the funny part of it was the fact that it was stolen under my nose, inside my house in the middle of the night. i decided to go retrieve my MTN sim from their office, only to meet others like myself, whose phone has been stolen either in a public transport, at the shop or even places they once felt safe before. Phone stealing has become a nom.
DEPRESSION:
Depression has become a common trait today especially among our youths. Youths today easily fall into depression, once they notice others are doing better than them. and depression can sometimes lead to death. Like during the last lockdown in the recent pandemic, there where some cases of suicide. I remember when i just finished my service year after university, i was so desperate to find a job but after so many search, i fell into depression, i started looking down on my self like i was not good enough, it grew worse when i saw others the same age as me, and even some younger then me making money and living the life i wanted. I came to discover that there are so many others who fell into depression like my self because of unemployment but unlike me, many where not able to over come it.
HEALTH ISSUES:
Unemployment, can also cause health issues to an individual as well. when a person is unemployed, it creates a situation where the individual becomes stressed, there would be no peace of mind. Especially in the case of a person that has responsibilities such as taking care of the family. Once a person becomes too stressed, it could lead to various common yet deadly health issues such as high blood pressure, frequent headaches, heart conditions. Which would require capital to buy medications for treatment. Lack of capital can make some keep these health issues to themselves until it leads to death.
EFFECT OF UNEMPLOYMENT TO THE ECONOMY & GOVERNMENT :
Most government today have the mindset that the rate of unemployment, has noting to do with them. Hence they send their children overseas to study in the best schools and secure good jobs for them, without even caring about the increase of the rate of unemployment. According to a research carried out by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, it says unemployed persons tend to send less, which which ultimately contributes less to the economy. in other words, the more the unemployment increases, the more the economy suffer, as there would be a very poor purchasing power for individuals in terms of buying goods and services. Hence government would get fewer returns.
