- Ukosefu wa ajira hususan miongoni mwa vijana ni tatizo ambalo usugu wake umefikia kima kisichostahimilika tena.(Solved)
Soma taarifa inavofuata kisha uyajibu maswali
Ukosefu wa ajira hususan miongoni mwa vijana ni tatizo ambalo usugu wake umefikia kima kisichostahimilika tena. Ingawa limejitokeza kama tatizo la ulimwengu mzima lakini katika mataifa ya ulimwengu wa tatu, hasa barani Afrika, limekolea zaidi. Ni kweli kwamba tatizo hili si geni ulimwenguni kwani lilikuwepo miaka michache baada ya uhuru wa nchi nyingi za Kiafrika lakini wakati huo mhusika mkuu aliyelaumiwa kwa ukosefu wa ajira ulikuwa ukosefu wa elimu.Katika ulimwengu wa sasa mambo yamebaidika kabisa kama mbingu na ardhi kwani ukosefu wa elimu sio sababu ya ukosefu wa ajira. Ukweli ni kwamba kuwa na elimu ndiyo sababu ya kukosa ajira.Serikali za mataifa mengi zimechukua hatua mbali mbali ili kukabiliana na tatizo hili, si hoja kama baadhi ni za kutapatapa mithili ya mfa maji ambaye hushika maji. Miongoni mwa hatua hizi ni pamoja na kuboreshamazingira ya uwekezaji ili vitega uchumi viongezeke na hivyo kubuni nafasi za ajira. Kupanua fursa za^lNMMR. ngazi zote na kuhimiza mafunzo ya ujasiriamali na ufundi ni hatua nyingine. Vile vile serikali zingine zimebuni mipango inayolenga kuwawezesha vijana kujiajiri wenyewe.Waama, serikali zingine zimechukua hatua za kijasiri kwa kulegeza masharti ya uwekezaji kwa wawekezaji wa kigeni ili kuwavutia waanzishe miradi katika nchi zao kwa tamaa kwamba watabuni nafasi za ajira katika nchi husika. Changamoto moja ambayo imetokea ni kwamba baadhi ya wawekezeji hawa wanatengea wananchi wa nchi walizotoka kazi za kitaalamu na zenye malipo bora huku wenyeji wakiachiwa zile zinazoitwa 'kazi za mikono' tu. Wanawapuuza wataalamu na wasomi walio katika mataifa hayo. Tusisahau pia kuwa baadhi ya wawekezaji hupelekwa katika mataifa wanayowekeza tabia na mienendo inayokinzana na maadili ya nchi pokezi.Tabia kama ubasha au usenge na ndoa za jinsia moja zimenasibishwa na tamaduni ngeni miongoni mwa Waafrika. Katika mkumbo huu ni tatizo la matumizi ya mihadarati ambalo sasa limefuzu kujiunga na majanga mengine ya kimataifa kama ukimwi. Ukweli mchungu ni kwamba maovu haya yametokana na ukarimu wa mataifa yenye tamaa ya kutaka wawekezaji wa kigeni ambao pamoja na kuwekeza, wao huja na 'yao'. Na kwa sababu mkata hana lake, mataifa pokezi yamehiari kuwapokea wawekezaji wa kigeni wakibeza athari mbaya zinazoletwa na watakuja kutahamaki baadaye kwamba mgeni kumpokea kumbe ni kujitongea.Suluhisho lingine, ambalo huenda ni bora zaidi, ni kuwawezesha vijana kujiajiri. Jambo hili linawezekana, mathalani endapo serikali itatenga hazina maalum katika bajeti yake ili kuwapa vijana mikopo yenye masharti nafuu ili waanzishie miradi yao. Itajuzu misaada hii itolewe kwa makundi ya vijana yaliyoandikishwa kama tahadhari moja ya kukabiliana na ufujaji wa pesa unaoweza kutokea misaada ikitolewa kwa watu binafsi. Vile vile kutolewa kwa mafunzo kuhusu usimamizi kwa vijana kabla ya kukabidhiwa pesa hizi itakuwa hatua nyingine ya kuepukana na ubadhirifu.Isitoshe, ustawishaji wa kilimo unaweza kutoa suluhisho lingine kwa tatizo la ukosefu wa ajira. Sharti vijana wahamasishwe ili washiriki katika kilimo ambapo watazalisha maii na kubuni nafasi za ajira katika nchi zao. Hii itarahisishwa kwa kufundisha somo la zaraa katika shule kama somo la lazima.Hakuna shaka kwamba juhudi hizi, na zingine ambazo hazijashughulikiwa katika makala haya, zikizingatiwa, usugu wa ukosefu wa ajira utageuzwa na kuwa tatizo tu!.

a) Kwa nini mwandishi amerejea ukosefu wa ajira kama tatizo sugu.
b) Taja hatua nne ambazo zimechukuliwa na mataifa mbalimbali ili kulitatua tatizo la ukosefu wa ajira.
c) Majilio ya wawekezaji wa kigeni yanaweza kuchukuliwa kama hali ya 'kula sumu ili kupata kuishi'. Thibitisha jinsi 'sumu' inavyoahihirika kwa kurejelea mifano miwili katika makala haya
d) Eleza maana ya msamiati ufuatao katika muktadha wa makala haya.
