The problem of unemployment: causes, effects, and solutions

Author: Prof. Dr. Kawthar Ibrahim Rizk

In today’s world, unemployment is considered one of the most prominent crises that threaten the stability of both economic and social societies. It is not just a number measured in the reports of international institutions, but a tangible reality that affects the lives of millions of people and poses a real threat to sustainable development and social welfare.

This in-depth study by Professor Dr. Kawthar Ibrahim Rizk comes to provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of the problem of unemployment, based on a combination of economic theories, modern statistics, and social analyses, to highlight the real and intertwined causes of unemployment, and to reveal its economic, psychological, and political effects, leading to a review of contemporary solutions that can contribute to alleviating its impact on individuals and societies.

🔍 Why is this book important?

This book does not merely present figures and statistics, but goes further to explore the deep roots of the unemployment problem, which range from:

Structural economic factors : such as weak investment, technological changes, and skills mismatch with the labor market.

Social and political reasons include weak government policies, administrative corruption, and deficiencies in the education and training system.

Demographic factors : such as rapid population growth and the rising number of young people seeking employment.

This holistic vision makes the book a unique tool for understanding the phenomenon accurately, away from superficial generalizations.

🌐 The multifaceted effects of unemployment

The author clearly demonstrates how unemployment not only affects the economic aspect, but its effects extend to include:

Psychological and social effects : from increased stress and depression rates, to decreased morale and feelings of isolation

Impact on family structure : Loss of income leads to strained family relationships and a negative impact on children's education.

Political and security implications : such as increased crime rates, political instability, and irregular migration

Impact on sustainable development : Unemployment hinders the achievement of development goals and reduces opportunities for economic and social progress.
