30.
Employment Opportunities for Young People
In today’s world, young people face unique challenges and opportunities in the job market. The rise of
technology and changes in the economy have created new types of jobs that didn’t exist a decade ago, such
as social media managers, app developers, and data analysts. However, competition for these positions can
be fierce, especially in urban areas where many graduates seek employment.
According to a report by the International Labour Organization, youth unemployment rates are
significantly higher than those of older workers. This disparity is partly due to a lack of experience. Many

4
employers prefer candidates with previous work experience, making it difficult for young job seekers to
enter the workforce. As a result, these have become vital for building a resume and gaining practical skills.
To address these challenges, several countries are implementing programs aimed at enhancing
youth employability. For instance, vocational training programs are designed to equip young people with
practical skills that are in demand in the job market. In Germany, the dual education system combines
classroom learning with hands-on experience in a professional setting, helping young people transition
smoothly into the workforce.
Moreover, the gig economy has opened up alternative avenues for young people to earn a living.
Freelancing, part-time jobs, and gig work offer flexible options that allow youth to gain experience while
balancing other commitments, such as education or family responsibilities. Platforms like Upwork and
Fiverr provide opportunities for young entrepreneurs to showcase their skills and connect with potential
clients globally.

C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to
40.
Youth Employment in a Changing Economy
In recent years, youth employment has become a critical issue, driven by shifts in technology and the
economy. [I] Many young people are finding it increasingly difficult to secure stable jobs as the traditional
job market undergoes transformation. [II] Reports indicate that young individuals face higher
unemployment rates compared to older workers, largely due to a lack of experience and the competitive
nature of the job market. [III] This situation is exacerbated by the rapid advancement of automation, which
has led to the disappearance of many entry-level positions that were once accessible to young job seekers.
[IV]
To address these challenges, educational institutions and governments are implementing programs
aimed at enhancing employability. Skills training and internship opportunities are being promoted to help
youth gain practical experience and improve their job prospects. Furthermore, companies are increasingly
partnering with schools to create apprenticeship programs that provide students with valuable work
experience while they complete their studies.
Despite these efforts, many young people still struggle to find meaningful employment. Factors such as
geographical disparities, socioeconomic status, and the mismatch between education and job requirements
contribute to ongoing challenges. Young individuals in rural areas, for instance, often have limited access
to job opportunities, making it harder for them to enter the workforce.
Ultimately, addressing youth employment requires a multifaceted approach that includes better
educational pathways, improved access to job opportunities, and collaboration between various
stakeholders to ensure that young people can thrive in a dynamic job market.
