The Causes of Unemployment

For: Being unemployed is really the fault of the individual because if

they are unemployed then it is by choice. Many choose to be unemployed

because they are unmotivated and they still get the social security

benefits. Most unemployed people stay unemployed as they don't have

demoralized people is started. A huge number of the unemployed

community has had no education either because their parents were

unemployed themselves or they dropped out of school. Due to lack of

education and lack of guidance they have no skills and are often at a

loss when there is a job offer as their resume is not as qualified as

other individuals who are also applying for the job. Also many don't

see being unemployed as a problem as they may think that if their

parents were unemployed it is okay for them to be unemployed as well.
