In today’s world, in most nations, young individuals who drop out of school without opting for further education encounter various difficulties, and some argue that the biggest problem is unemployment. I wholeheartedly concur with this notion, as I will examine in detail, as well as provide other challenges in this essay.
To begin with, it is evident that the vast majority of school-leavers’ aim is to find a job and meet their needs, but they face unemployment because of a great level of competition in the market. Moreover, since all school-leavers have approximately the same level of experience, employers face difficulties to hire suitable ones, leading to an increase in joblessness. For instance, statistics indicate that in Azerbaijan, 55% of people who prefer not to go to college could not find a job due to a high demand for workplaces.
In terms of other issues that youngsters might encounter, lacks of social networks and communication skills remain one of the most critical problems. Since people do not go to universities to pursue their education, they cannot interact with other students from different backgrounds, which has a knock-on impact on youngsters’ social development. Additionally, school-leavers are likely to suffer from a lack of theoretical knowledge, and as a result, in order to have a bright career, in the future, they will be forced to acquire this knowledge, which will be time-consuming and decrease the productivity of person if he or she has a job.
In conclusion, because of the competitive environment, young people cannot get a foot in the door of the job market, which is the biggest problem. On the other hand, those who leave school face other issues, such as deficiencies in interpersonal abilities and academic knowledge, contributing negatively their further career.
