asked the question “is unemployment affecting your community”. Nine which is around 70% of
the respondents say yes, and the remaining their community.
Findings
As show in figure one (1), it may be concluded that the majority of the views of the
respondents points to the lack of education as the reason for the existent of unemployment in
their community.
In conducting this research it was observed that, poverty according to the villagers was the
most crucial consequence of unemployment. This was clearly shown in figure 2.
Majority of the responses state that the age range of unemployment in their community ranges
from 16-20 year this can be shown at question 14 in the questionnaire.
Recommendation
As the student responsible for the research of this SBA one (1) was required to put forward a
few recommendation solutions to the growing issue of unemployment so my solution to
unemployment are:
1. One (1) think that workers should come together and create a union to fight again
Unemployed, so much that they have the authority to have attachment with higher
authority based on the issue (unemployment), so that there could be possible solution
to the problem.
2. The leader at my community (toushao) should make the community be known on a more wider
scale, that more bigger company and other should be aware at the small scale existence of my
community so could create more employment for unprofessional level, for person who have
education and for those who don’t.
Implementation strategy
One way of going about implementing these strategies is going through the one and
only leader of the community the toushao, now there can be many leader in the
community of specific are, but at the end of the day there is only one leader and that’s
the toushao. Now the toushao should be the one fighting the unemployment issue with
the help of His or her residents, he/she should be the one on the front line to make sure
the her resident get the best treatment because without a job employment and money
pretty will strike
