Academic IELTS exam Task 2 In many countries today there are many highly qualified graduates without employment. What factors may have caused this situation and what, in your opinion, can/should be done about it? ________________________________________ These days, the rate of non-employment is increasing day after day, and that is in many countries either developed or non-developed ones. In my opinion, this subject is a bone of contention because it affects the financial capacity of people and creates problems into the family and the society in general. First, I think that the new technology is one of the main factors that cause this situation. In other words, today robots have replaced human in companies because the machines are faster and more efficient than man who could complain or get tired. That’s why a lot of entrepreneurs prefer create a business where everything is digitalised so they don’t need to hire people. Moreover, the world was suffering recently from economic crises that touched many countries such as Spain and Greece. In consequence, a big proportion of the population lost their job. In this kind of critical situation, if someone lose his/her work, it will be hard to find another one easily even if you have a great educational degree because everyone is looking for a job. Finally, the development of education in the last century has helped a large number of people around the world to have access to courses from prestigious universities in UK or USA. That’s why more and more people are highly graduated, however, the job market is unable to satisfy the across demand for job today. To conclude, I would say that it is the responsibility of the government to offer more work opportunities for people by incite them to create their own business and contribute in the development of the economy.
