Unemployment at 6.3 Percent in April 2014. The national unemployment rate fell to 6.3 percent in April, down nearly half a percentage point from March's rate, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (“Unemployment at 6.3 Percent in April 2014.” NCSL.org. Web. 2 May 2014.) We the people of the world have many problems that affect each and every one of us. The problems we face are really big or really small but they all affect a lot of people in the world. We have problems like war between two or more countries. Health care is a very big affect around the world every country has it, but some countries are better than others in health care. Many of the world’s economies are starting to crash because of high unemployment in each of the countries. Also the stock market has dropped value because people can’t afford to buy stocks. Today people are trying to find jobs, but a lot of companies are not hiring right now. This all started because about six years ago the stock market crashed and a lot of people lost their jobs. The definition of unemployment is a condition of a person who is able to work, is actively seeking work, but is unable to find any. (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unemployment, 2014.) Everyone in the world can be affected by unemployment. But there are some things we can do to lower the unemployment rate.

The world we live in is not perfect but we all try are best to do what is right. Meaning that we try to not make the stock market crash or make the economy crumble but it happens because we aren’t perfect. But since it happened the unemployment rate was at an all time high six years ago and still today a lot of people can’t find or get employed by companies. The USA unemployment rate is 6.3%.

  • Primary Education in Uganda - A Policy Analysis

    3389 Words  | 7 Pages

    Over the past five years, Uganda’s education system has proved both effective and successful. Although in the process of further development, it has nonetheless served as a model for many developing African countries. The Ugandan government, with President Yoweri Museveni at its forefront, has determined primary education to be one of the major channels toward poverty eradication and as a vital resource for economic and social development. The Ugandan government has made a national commitment to eradicate illiteracy and educate its citizens through the 1997 initiative, Universal Primary Education (UPE). All levels of government, the private sector, grass-root organizations, local and international non-governmental organizations (NGO’s), community and church leaders, international aid agencies, and international governments have been major players in Uganda’s universal primary education policy and continue to structure the policy in ways to benefit Ugandans, while simultaneously protecting their own interests. Unfortunately with such an enormous national commitment and the underlying interests of the many contributors, there were many shortages in the realistic policy as experienced by Ugandans. I argue that these shortages, which ultimately affect the quality of primary education, can be linked to inadequacies in the deliberations, monitoring, evaluation, and feedback of Ugandan education policy; once these areas are reformed, a more comprehensive education system can be re-established.

  • Poverty in Uganda

    1081 Words  | 3 Pages

    The overriding challenge Uganda faces today is the curse of poverty. Poverty, ‘the lack of something”(“Poverty.”), something can be materials, knowledge, or anything one justifies as necessary to living. Associated with poverty is the question of what causes poverty and how to stop poverty? The poverty rate in Uganda has declined from the year 2002 from the year 2009, which shows the percent of residents living in poverty has decreasing. Yet, the year is 2014 and the poverty rate could have drastically changed over the course of five years. One could assume the poverty rate would continue to decrease, which would be astounding and beneficial, but does poverty ever decrease enough to an acceptable level or even nonexistence? Poverty is a complex issue that continues to puzzle people from all across the globe. Poverty could possible be a question that is never truly answered.

    There are a multitudinous number of both economic and social difficulties associated with unemployment. One fundamental reason why the government particularly stresses on reducing unemployment levels is as a result it poses a great cost on the economy. Not only does it affect the economy, but also it poses a great threat towards the living standards of the unemployed people itself. This could lead to many receiving less or no income based on whether or not they receive unemployment welfare benefits from the government. Reduction in income, would lead to a less disposable inc...

  • Swot Analysis : Labor Market

    1706 Words  | 4 Pages

    Analysis of the labor market in the economy reveals a reduction in vacancies while the number of job seekers significantly increases over the past few decades (Dickerson, 2008, p.1). Particularly, the youth employment looks worrying with a serious downward trend with so many of them unemployed. The numbers of free people who are full educated or trained have also decreased. The unemployed in the economy are either inactive or unemployed. The annual changes continue to show a rise in unemployment of young people both for student and others. With lack of government employment as well as training programs, many individuals opt to seek for self-employment (Dickerson, 2008, p.1). Statistic continues to show that there has been an increase of workless people in comparison to the vacancies available. The general picture, therefore, remains that labor market constantly fails to meet the needs of people regarding employment. Although this is the case, there has been some variation across regions with Scotland and Wales in the UK showing decreased performance. There remains a risk that employment will increase in the coming years. The present concern is long-term unemployment, specifically with regards to the youths who are most disadvantaged in the labor market (Dickerson, 2008, p.1).

    Education was and still is thought to be one of the most vital aspects in an individual’s life.

However, for Africa nothing is going as hoped.

  • The Development Of Uganda

    936 Words  | 2 Pages

    Uganda has the unfortunate title of being one of the nations on the United Nations’ list of the least developed countries and its inclusion on the list is due to a host of interconnected reasons. This landlocked East African country was colonized by the British in the late 1800s until it gained independence in 1962 (The World Bank, 2014). Ever since it came free from Britain’s reign, the Republic of Uganda has been in the midst of a number of intermittent conflicts that have proved to be major obstacles to its development. Most recently, there has been an ongoing civil war with the Lord’s Resistance Army, causing the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of over a million residents (The World Bank, 2014). The political violence, combined with poor infrastructure, low food security, and major health issues such as HIV/AIDS has resulted in Uganda becoming one of the poorest nations in the world. This disturbing economic situation is represented by almost 40% of the Ugandan population living on a per diem of smaller than $1.25 (The World Bank, 2014). When looking at the many major developmental challenges Uganda has had to face in the past few decades since their independence, there is one in particular that stands out among the rest: rural poverty.
