Discuss four causes of unemployment in Kenya today
- High population whereby there are too many people for the available job opportunities.
- Lack of money to start individual businesses/unavailability of finances.
- Some people lack skills which makes them not absorbed in the job market.
- Rural-urban migration:- many people are congested in towns where job opportunities are limited.
- Foreign aid:- dependence on foreign aid causes the donors to give conditions of employment, that is lean service.
- Selfishness/greed:- some Kenyans have more than two jobs, while others lack.
- Education system:- many Kenyans prefer white-collar jobs after school and because of stiff competition for available spaces, many remain unemployed.
- Negative attitude towards work:- some Kenyans lack the initiative to do or participate in economic activities/just idle around.
- Unequal distribution of wealth: Some regions have more resources that create employment than others.
- New technological advances that have led to retrenchment.
- Bribery/corruption is a social evil that denies jobs to those qualified
