Bangladesh is most densely populated country with a partial resource. There are about 150 millions of people and 49 percent of them live under poverty line. Unquestionably, unemployment is a Big Macroeconomic Issaue of Bangladesh.
Unemployment occurs when a person is able and willing to work but currently without work. The prevalence of unemployment is usually measured using the unemployment rate, which is defined as the percentage of those in the labor force who are unemployed.
Unemployment situation in Bangladesh:
According to a study of the International Labor Organization (ILO), the rate of growth of unemployment in Bangladesh was 1.9 per cent in the decade of the nineties. But the growth in unemployment currently is 3.7 per cent. The ILO figures also show Bangladesh in the twelfth position among the top twenty countries in the world where unemployment is rising.
The number of the unemployed in Bangladesh now is estimated at 30 million. The way the rate of unemployment is increasing, it is feared that at this rate unemployment would soar to some 60 million by 2015. According to another estimate, every year some 2.7 million young persons are becoming eligible for jobs whereas only about 0.7 million of them are getting employment.
some recommendations to reduce Unemployment:
1.Create a National Office of Employment to develop long term strategies and oversight of the Bangladesh labor market in order to track trends, analyze data, research emerging problems, and prepare early interventions.
2.Identify growing and potential industries and the skills they will need in future staff.
3.Design a plan which allows for the rapid retargeting of training courses as Community Colleges and vocational schools are traditionally 5 to 15 years behind current needs.
4.Renovate the processes of State Unemployment Offices by implementing coordinated support programs in which workers participate as part of receiving unemployment benefits and employers participate as a means of meeting their future needs for staff.
5.Provide incentives for employers to hire more part-time workers
can you give more efficient ideas to reduce Unemployment problem?If there is any ideas please please share...

I am sorry for my argueable words, but I think we need to "sell" ourselves to the job market bcoz the market will "buy" the most appropriate services of applicants. As well as we also need to have a better mindset and should have the charisma and "X factor" which will make us a good choice for the market... And we also need to have the tendency of nPow, which will help us to become a good administrator...

@fiyaz
yes..I agree with your arguable words..but you left one word"self-employment"...Actually How many people you can make competent for the world job market???the question is not about better living and better placement...In the 3rd world like Bangladesh we have to think how can we get people employed??
-
Actually that is good (self employment)... But it requires a lot time as well as a good enterpreneurship sense to reach success, what actually lacks "security of livelihood"...
-
we can't ensure that Majority of our people are living secured life...Unemployed individuals are unable to earn money to meet financial obligations. Failure to pay mortgage payments or to pay rent may lead to homelessness through foreclosure or eviction...as they are already Unsecured so there is no option..
All kinds of business requires good enterprenurship & I think we deserve it but all kind of business do not require heavy Investment..moreover"self-employment" is one of the way to make themselves competent for the International Market..

Self employment, to me is just another aspect... Why do we acquire knowledge in universities? Why do we take acclaimed academic programs? Why do we want to compete, to achieve highest grades? Why do we firstly try to qualify for acclaimed public universities? This all culminates into one simple thing... And that is, making one ownself adequate for the JOB MARKET... Perhaps you have done the same thing and so did I... We all may say many big bookish theories but when we all left behind this bookish life, we all tend to become a successful banker, a successful service holder in a reputed multinational organization or other stuffs like that. I am sorry for my rude words but more than 90% wanna do these works rather than self-employment...
-
Dear faiyaz...
yes...Obviously "Self-employment" is one of aspect to reduce unemployment..we are working for not only getting good grades but to learn various real modules which will make us perfect for Job Market. I strongly belive that without educational development nothing is possible...As a Business student,,what should we think??
In our bangladesh there is vast Scarcity for job...every year 2.7 million of young persons are becoming eligible for job but only 0.7 millions of them are getting job...so what about rest of those people??I have just pointed one word"self-employment"...there are so many effective ways to reduce unemployment..
@faiyaz...try to find some solutions to this problems...try to create and if possible take some initiatives to do something for the country .....Thank you...

@Habib Bhai, Whatever you are saying is all valid stuffs... Education is very necessary for every aspect... But for a sound business plan or enterpreneurship u dont need to be a marketing graduate or stuffs like that... U see into the lives of Ambani, R.P Saha, Johurul Haque etc. they had experiences rather than "degrees"... And the education we get and the theories we read are just some "totality of experiences"... For example- if u see a total different product when u go to buy another one in a shop, this thing also is a way to advertise or promote a product. Because you may not know it. I'll give u an example- when u go to buy bread in a shop and see that a new thing has appeared on the shelf of that shopkeeper, which actually is a curtard for the diabities patients. Now, whenever any of your diabities patient relatives want to have curtard, you will not look for any type of advertisement or promotional activities and thus buy the product. U see, u wont find any type of exact theory regarding this in any book but when any scholar may think about it, he may include this as an promotional activity... Hope I have made myself clear, though i've gone far beyond the topic u started...
-
faiyaz....
I can see every possible ideas that you want to show...But we are going out of this topic through debate..the topic is about"How can Unemployment be reduced"?share some initiatives that can help to reduce Unemployment...I hope that you have the ability to point out....Thank you...
-
Unemployment can be reduced by self-employment utilizing the existing resources (vocational skills /intellectual/ financial). A self-employed person can create job opportunities for others.
-
@Habib bhai, I am sorry for my words, I know that I have said the things that are not relevant with the topic...
I cannot show any statistics, the way u can but I can show you some illustrations... For example- After completing 11 semesters, we have to go to internship. This shows the emphasis on jobs... So, if we talk about self employment, we must first have to change these systems by making a more self motivated, govt. employment pressure reducing stuffs. Bcoz these internship gives us a chance to gather knowledge and work experience, that we can use in our job carrier. Again, this has become a somewhat debate... I am sorry if I had said any degenerated stuffs and sincerely do wish to talk to you personally...
-
Dear fiayaz....
you are going far away...you just see...Our one respectable teacher are going to organise "Capital Market Education Program"....what does it means???By attending the program you can learn some real capital market module by which you can Make a effective Investment in capital market....Like this program,,,there are many workshops are open for u...you said Internship gives emphasis on job...I strongly argue with you...we do Internship to Implement our academic knowledge and to earn prctical knowledge & real module which can help in specific job...
-
@Habib bhai, I dont have any disrespect towards any person, but my MAIN POINT is, we all firstly prefer to do jobs... Now if you dont have that type of mindset then its quite different and of course exceptional...
-
Actually the more knowledge you gather through participation in classroom, seminar, workshop - all make you prepared for the job market.
-
Dear Fiayaz...
Yes we always prefer to do job rather then business...That is reason for being a large number of unemployment...we have to change...
-
First and foremost, for doing that, our govt. should be increasing "fruitful" employment opportunities... I am not biased or doing any anti govt. stuffs but can you remember? when this govt. was doing campain for the 9th assembly election, it promised to reduce unemployment. But many days later, we came to know that they meant it by creating employment opportunities at municipalities only! This will affect only 8%, to eliminate unemployment... So these govts. of our country should not do "conditions apply" stuff to the mass...
-
Dear Mr Faiyaz
your message reflects your thoughtful and analytical bend of mind. As a conscious citizens we should be aware of our rights and our expectations from the government. We always need to upadate ourselves with the recent news.

Dear Habibur,
Thanks for your posting. Are you student of my class?

I think unemployment can be reduced by doing some potential actions by the GOVERNMENT:
1.They can launch a project for this purpose :)
2.people who are graduates, for them govt. can create large motioned group of opportunities in different terms & department :)
3.We can raise our voice through media about the terms & omission of the non working conditions :)
4. as the govt positioned, they can think about create outwards opportunities through raising unemployment funds.....................
:) :) :) :) I think these will be taken in hand by the employer sections & Govt. holdings.....

-
Dear Habibur,
I am delighted to see your intervention. Thanks for coming out from class to society and practical action. Now your assignment is to reduce unemployment in real sense rather writing an assignment to get marks only.
Be well and act timely for positive change!
With love,
Raju

Dear Raju bhai
I must appreciate the way you encourage your students to apply theoritical understanding in the practical field.
-
thanks a lot to dear Raju sir & suraiya mem...For appreciating me. As always I try to come out from class and use the knowledge in Practical life. I was searching for such way where I can share my thinkings.then I got DIU forum as the medium.
@raju sir. You said one sentence “try to link the academic knowledge in real lifeâ€. I am trying to follow you..

@Habib Bhai, We have been saying this unemployment thing for a while but now we need to figure out how this will be possible in practical life. Now they should do stuffs that will of course be unemployment reducing rather than generating profit currently, what a govt's. basic policy should be. E.g.- making an organization that will provide infos about bangladesh's different travel places, will help reduce bad conceptions about BD as well as do some "positioning" and help to become it a "brand"... By this many unemployed people who have knowledge about these historical places and of course marketing will be getting jobs... This will not provide revenue to the govt. from very beginning but gradually will, as people will come to know about different positive aspects of Bangladesh. This is one simple example. But, many could be given, if our honorable govt. tries to find out within its own backyard...
-
Today I was impressed to know that some of our students are engaged in some sort of business such as running hostels. They are earning handsome amount of money and they are planning to expand it to either hotel or restaurant when they complete their graduation. The enthusiastic faces of my students has given me hope for playing a role in solving unemployment problem.
-
dear faiyaz...
Yes. I got your point. We can emphasize on eco-tourism. We can initiate a marketing plan which will present the attractive places (like, Cox’s bazaar, sundorbon, and so on).the marketing strategy will target foreign travelers as well as our country people. When peoples will be interested to visit BD then automatically some people will involve into this like (traveler guide, Transportation Company, Motels, hotels) and so on. These can create employment as well as can generate revenue...

Suraiya Ma'am, it actually is very good to see dreams... Plans to me are secondary topic but if one has a dream/project in mind and actually that is possible, then one can easily pave way to success. We all should bear one thing in mind and that is, it is easy to become manager but very difficult to become leader...
-
@suraiya mem..
Yes.some of our DIU students are doing own business.Personally I along with my 4 friends are going to start a business of "T-shirt" & our Brand name is "Fusion"..everything are ready just waiting for production..our initial goal is to supply T-shirt in various fashion house as well as differnt market as a whole sale..we have already made contract with some shopkeepers in different shopping center....
we have the intention to expand the busines over the bangladesh..If it can stand..then we will be able to arrange job opportunities for others...please pray for us...

dear fiayaz...
If everybody think from your perspective then there will be no Entrepreneur.you do not want to take the challenges and want to avoide taking risk..
-
My Respected Habib Bhai, For your kind information, I actually prefer not to take risks. But, if you are talking about my last post, then I should make one thing clear... There I praised the dreamers/enterpreners... Because they think out of zero but managers work has some specific terms... I think I have made myself clear.
-
Dear Mr. Habib
It is really good to know about "Fusion". Hope you all will be able to materialize your plan. Thus you can set an example before others.
Good Luck!
-
Thank you mem. We have the strength the take the challenges.
-
I think, its about risk and return tradeoff rather than taking challenges... A business should take risks as the more risk you take, the more return you may have. But, risks should not be beyond one means... For example- a group of friends could have a website and from that, can tell different aspects about different mobile phone vendors and their products features. Now if a reputed cell company who renders quality product to the market will definately be eager to promote his product from this site, as many see this site and the site will not say against it, as it is a proven product. Now, this requires very few amount of capital but can easily bank money. At this stage of live where we students have temporary flow of money, should be doing these type of short entrepreneurship stuffs to gather knowledge for big entrepreneurship.
-
dear faiyaz....
well said..It can be other form of business and also can earn profit by using few amount of capital..we should implement our creative ideas rather than thinking..
