Uncertainty After Graduation: A Deep Dive into The Present Scenario of Graduate Unemployment Problem in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Youth are considered to be the most valuable asset for any nation. They are going to lead the future. But without their active participation in the economy, a nation will remain in the domain of despair. In Bangladesh one of the main hindrance towards development is, its increasing unemployment among graduates. Joblessness is becoming very acute among graduates which will eventually take a devastating shape for the entire economy in future. Through this study an attempt had been made to analyze the current graduate employability and also to find out various reasons behind unemployment. This is an analytical study. Data were collected from secondary sources including previous researches on this issue, newspaper articles, journals, survey reports, and etc. Through a scrutinizing analysis, this study came up with this conclusion that elevating student’s competencies alone cannot solve this problem. The students along with their parents, the institution, and the government need to work together to handle this situation. Only then, graduates will be able to bring prosperity and growth for their individual life as well as for their country.
