Lack of employment is a common phenomenon

Lack of employment is a common phenomenon which entails its inferences (Hopkins,2019). Being employed is viewed as a prerequisite to a socially realized, productive, and complete recognition of human capital. It is a pragmatic basis where individuals build their social and financial security as well as confirm their social status integrally (Buhai et al., 2020). Therefore, unemployment has negative connotation being laid down considering the critical values it conveys on people (Borner,2020). Hence it has qualified as both a societal and a serious privacy issue. Loss of income is the most immediate consequence when it comes to unemployment. Besides, it endangers community peace and the country’s stability, and discouragement of the individuals.

The young people tend to depend on parental support and closest relatives. Prolonged unemployment makes them to highly devasted, and discontented since they are compelled to forego indefinitely key events in life not only personally but also of society, such as marriage and parenthood (Grundy,2019).

Studies reveal that the unemployed go through emotional turmoil. Often, they go through unpredicted stages of adaptation to their status (Buhai et al., 2020). They undergo shock which subsequently leads to optimism due to new upcoming opportunities. However, their expectations are not commonly met leading to depression and pessimism regarding the future. Long -term unemployment, ends the adjustment period thus, the individual lack options but to accept the reality of their situation (Borner,2020). Although, it is accepted differently in social groups.  The high-class group regard it as a threat to both their social and financial status. While the lower class regard it as loss of income.

In conclusion, research reveals that unemployment impacts community relationships. People became less engaged in social activities, lesser friendly contacts and deterioration of family relations (Thompson,2017). New job openings for the ready workforce is the only solution for countries with a high rate of unemployment. It’s a convenient way to reach economic, social and personal goals.
