There
are about 400,000 unemployed in the country and this is partly due to the
people being too choosy in the kind of jobs they want. Therefore, 2.1 million
foreigners have taken advantage by working in our country. They are happy and
earning a good income. If the 400,000 Malaysians were not choosy in their
choice of jobs, they could replace the job which is currently held by the
foreign workers. According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the
number of unemployment in this country is considered high. There are some 1.4 million
civil servants and 6 millions working in the private sector. The numbers of
employees working in the both sectors are expected to increase due to the
various development programmes that need skilled workers in various fields. The
skilled labour available at present is at 28% while the country needed at least
50% of them in the year 2020.

The changes can be done in order to decrease unemployment by demanding
side policies. Fiscal policy can decrease unemployment by helping to increase
aggregate demand and rate of economy growth. This involves cutting taxes and
increasing government spending. Lower taxes increase disposable income and
therefore helps to increase consumption , leading higher aggregate demand. If firms
produce more, there will be an increase demand for workers and and therefore
lower demand for unemployment. Also, with higher aggregate demand and strong
economic growth, fewer firms will go bankrupt meaning fewer jobs losses.
Provide education and skills to the long term unemployed new skills which
enable them to find jobs developing industries. This can retain unemployed
steel workers to have basic I.T. skills which helps them to find work is
service sector. However, despite providing education and training schemes, the
unemployed may be unable or unwilling to learn new skills. At best it will take
several years to reduce unemployment.
Stricter unemployed in taking a more pro-active role in making unemployed accept
a job or risk losing benefits. After a certain time period, the government could
guarantee some kind of public sector job. This could significantly reduce
unemployment.
If the rate unemployment
decreases, the rate of social crime decreases.this is due to citizens of
Malaysia has got a better job and they won’t easily get involve in crimes. Hence,
the economy growth will increase gradually. It will leave an example mark for
the upcoming generations in Malaysia.
I agree. Malaysians shouldn't be too choosy with their jobs as all jobs has pros and cons but its up to the person to be successful in it.
ReplyDeleteYes thank you.I do agree with you.
DeleteI agree too.The jobs vacancy or employment in our country should be filled with we Malaysians. Job opportunities should not be taken for granted because an individual should be able to earn their own income and take up responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteyes thank you.Well said jobs these days shouldn't be taken for granted.
DeleteWe foresee problem with both parties here, employer and job seeker. Both need to work hand in hand in order to resolve this matter.
ReplyDelete- Job seeker should not be very choosy with job offered and must be able to start as beginner and gain experience and knowledge pursuing their career.
- Employer should give them chance to show their capacity especially those without any working experience before evaluating their performance.
True. Malaysians should not be too picky and try to grab opportunities when they have. This will help them to explore and learn more rather than being unemployed.
