Unemployment is a major problem in Bangladesh, with thousands of people without jobs. The government has failed to provide employment for the large number of educated youth graduating from universities each year. Unemployment is caused by factors such as rapid population growth, a defective education system, lack of technical skills, and overdependence on agriculture. Unemployment leads to poverty, increased social problems, and loss of human resources. To address this issue, Bangladesh must ensure job opportunities, encourage self-employment, reform education, and boost technical and vocational training. The government's goal is to minimize unemployment to below current levels by 2021 through job creation and expansionary economic policies.

undertaken for employment generation to remove the curse of
