Assalam Alaikum Hope you all are doing well and enjoying your work. This is a great contest which discussed important social issues and gave people an opportunity to write about their social problems problems. So first of all I want to describe the unemployment in detail

What is unemployment?

The meaning of unemployed is that the person is able to work and willing to work and if he does not find work, we call this person unemployed.Eligible refers to a certain age period in which the person is said to be able to work. About 16 years to 70 years means the age that falls within this period is generally considered to be able to work.

That is vary from country to country in pakistan mostly at 60 year age people's take retirement from job and according to ILO(international labour organisation) age of labour force is laying between 16 to 60 year old.

Types of Unemployment

• Seasonal unemployment

There are also sectors and works in the world which have a specific time means the work in the sugar factory in Pakistan starts from the harvesting season of the sugarcane field and lasts for 3-4 months, after that the works are finished. This kind of unemployment is called seasonal unemployment. There are many examples of such unemployment such as the work of picking certain fruits etc after that certain period you gob is ended

• Cyclical unemployment

This is the type of unemployment that is affected by the business cycle, meaning that when business conditions are bad, firms lose money and lay off more of their workers to minimize their expenditures.

**Why unemployment continues to increase every year?

According to me, there are many economic and social reasons for the increase in unemployment due to which unemployment is increasing day by day.

• The first reason is the lack of skilled education. People have degrees but are not learning the skills. Due to this, firms are not getting jobs as per their requirements.

• The second reason is the advancement in technology in today's modern era, there have been inventions that have replaced humans and machines have the ability to do more and better work than manpower, which also leads to an increase in unemployment. There have been things like robots and artificial agents that are performing better than the average worker.

• The third reason is the economic downturn as the business cycle is affected thereby increasing unemployment.

• The reason for this is inflation. For the past few years, inflation has increased rapidly, which is the main cause of unemployment, because whenever there is inflation in any economy, the prices of goods and services increase, so the demand for it increases. A shortage occurs, which reduces production, which causes firms to lose and lay off workers.

• People not finding work according to their standards and qualifications or their lack of interest in what they are doing is also a reason for unemployment, why they leave their current job in search of a better one and the market is tough. New work is not easily found due to competition
