Joblessness

Over the course of the next few months, we will treat the problem of joblessness. The idea is to thouroughly immerse ourselves in the problem and as such, begin to understand its nature, its causes and its effects.

Many people, professional and not so professional, have had a stab at the problem. For the most part, pundits don't seem to have a solid understanding of this plague. Where they do, their proposals are inappropriate and lack the necessary depth of sound remedial strategies.

For this reason, it is we who are going to demystify and unpack the complex issues surrounding unemployment, the steriotypes that persist, the knowledge gaps, the causes as well as potential solutions.

Our very first article will be about the problem of unemployment, its history and its future.

We look forward to your opinions on these 800 word pieces and hope they somehow add value to whatever it is that you do.

Happy Reading
