In Arab Conflicts, The Young Are The Restless

In Arab Conflicts, The Young Are The Restless

          The uprising in Egypt has not been shut down, Arab youth were rebelling. They gave out their dissatisfication about their current situation, especially for the young people. They want jobs, but the unempolyment rate has been rising in recent years. Some young people who college-educated and ambitious and want to accomplish something with their lives. "But the jobs aren't out there, so we have to be taxi drivers." as they say so.

          Their complaints are sometimes greater than their elders. One effect of the recent downturn has been a spike in youth unemployment that is much greater than for the workforce as a whole. because of the economic shrink, they do not have chance to catch jobs. Besides, the youth is the most important part of society. Unempolyment is the global problem. And this problem is particularly acute in Arab countries, where unemployment rates remain among the world's highest — and there are lots of young people.

          Authority of job creation department said that country that has many young population can enjoy " youth advantage", by by investing in education and putting their young people to work. They are abundant human capital. But most of the countries now experiencing a youth bulge – places like sub-Saharan Africa, parts of Latin America and Pakistan and Afghanistan – are not creating enough jobs to keep up with population growth. That is the conflict between the rate of population and number of job. Those countries which enjoy the "youth advantage" now under siege have invested heavily in the education of their young people, but have not provided them with enough to do after graduation. But some young people want to get a job when they are graduation. The society push them into school to continue their degree. So, there is still a problem that has not solved by the government.

         Now, government fear that what steps they will move in and what consequence they may get. They would not like to make this conflict maximize. Like Geneive Abdo, an analyst with the National Security Network and the Century Foundation says, "It's almost become a cliche, that there's a youth bulge in the Arab world," "We never realized what the effect of that would be, until now."
