Allay the fears of the youth
Our future rests on their shoulders


A survey by the leading Bangla daily newspaper revealed some very interesting insights on how the youth are presently thinking and what contemporary issues concern them. They had positive views about the country's future but were not quite sure about their own, the survey shows.

Satisfaction among the youth regarding the country's current political climate for example, was split down the middle. However, 51.2 percent of the youth expressed that they were completely uninterested in politics. Despite being mostly satisfied with the country's recent economic progress, 82 percent expressed fears about their future job security. And the fact that 40 percent of the more than four crore youth population are, reportedly, not involved in either economic or educational activities suggests, in addition, that their apprehension is indeed based on objective conditions.

Along with the lack of employment opportunities, becoming an entrepreneur too is difficult for the youth in our country. Thus, lack of economic opportunities and growing detachment from social and political issues runs the risk of alienating the youth completely from issues concerning the future of our country. And perhaps there is already increasing evidence of this happening, as about 63 percent of the youth do not know what they are going to do with their lives, according to the survey, illustrating the negative effects that various economic, societal and political uncertainties are having on them.

To correctly address these issues and provide the youth with the necessary platforms required to become future builders should be the government's objective. We hope that the authorities will take substantive actions in that regard, rather than settle for rhetoric.
