A high population growth, especially among the youth in the country, has made it hard for a majority of the population to get a job.
Here are some of the ways unemployment can be reduced in the country;
Developing the rural areas
The government should adopt a culture of spreading more industries and giving more incentives to investors to construct more industries in the rural centres of the country. The practice will help many gain opportunities in the industries hence getting some income sources.
Relevant education system
The education system should keep reminding the students of what the outside market expects of them hence they should go ahead and teach students on ways of becoming competitive in the outside market.
Population control
The government needs to get a way of reducing the rapid rate of population growth in the country to help many other people have access to the good and basic essentials of life. Control of population ensures that the number of people entering the job market is few in number.
Increased government expenditure
The government needs to increase the finance pertaining to development projects. Construction of more social amenities such as good roads needs to be one of the factors the government can consider. By doing that, they create numerous opportunities for people in the job market to get much access to available opportunities.
Protection of the local industries
A major step towards protecting local industries will be to shield them from the tough competition they get from more developed countries that often bring in cheap products that kill the potential growth of local industries. By helping local industries to expand, the government takes part in solving high unemployment cases.
Kenya, being a developing country is facing the challenge of a high number of unemployment.
