The article seems to suggest the problem of youth unemployment does not stem from a lack of education. Rather, it's a lack of suitable jobs for educated young people. The solution then would be to create an environment where startups can flourish.
- ThomPete 11y agoWhile that sounds right intuitively I wonder if thats really addressing the problem. The issues seems to be that the kind of companies that young people create will be mostly tech companies. Tech companies are by definition capital intensive not so much labour intensive. I.e. less and less is needed for the new types of companies which are created.
- nooron 11y agoI think you're at least partially right. I don't think having lots of people is a liability if there is a society that can make effective use of them. I think startups are one useful vehicle for that.
- lefeeza 11y agoEven if there is acknowledgement of a lack of unemployment because lack of education, is anyone even addressing the problem?
