Man is designed to do some work or other.

In our country, some people are busy with some

engagement or additional rounds the year. Some others have got engagement only seasonally. They
are partially unemployed. Most of our farmers belong to this category. But some people sit idle
without any work. They are the real unemployed persons in the society. We have lots of people in
this category. Though they are real man-power of the country, they remain unemployed, unutilized
and so unproductive. They are, so to say, our national economy.

One of many elements causing unemployment is the too high cost of worker's maintenance. In
Guyana, only politicians are able to act and everything depends on them, as only they are in power
to lower the costs. Needless to say there are solutions to help decrease unemployment rates in the
country.

Firstly, for those who are job searching would be to take up more trainings or education, to gain new
skills coherent with the needs of a market, what would be possible with a material support from the
government. As a result, people would have proper qualifications for types of jobs available.

Another solution would be to create a kind of groups of support that could have a motivating and
supervisory function at the same time. People would feel more confident, motivated and they would
share with each other their problems, hopes and ideas.

One final solution, is for the government to create new opportunities for young people, to give them
chances for apprenticeships which are certain to provide a better start at a career path.

Taking all the things into consideration, the solutions listed above are realized in the major part of
developing countries, unfortunately they are very expensive projects. To conclude, there is a
possibility to decrease the rate of unemployment, under the condition that the governments do
essential corrections and those who are the most concerned here will cooperate and work hard to
make the best of them.
