答案 The fact is that unemployment among all age groups causes problems for the individuals who are unemployed and society as a whole. However, more concern is directed towards unemployment among young people, because it can result in problems that are less likely with other age groups. I think that the worst consequence of unemployment is often the resulting loss of hope felt by many unemployed people. This is worse for young people because they have so long to go before the end of their working lives, whereas many people who lose their jobs when they are approaching retirement age simply take early retirement. Some young people have difficulty in getting a job immediately after leaving school or university because they have not received education or training that employers find useful. If a young person is then unemployed for years afterwards, they find it increasingly difficult to compete with people who have work experience. This loss of hope can lead to a lack of self-discipline. Young, unemployed people are more likely to use illegal drugs and commit other crimes in order to fund their habit. This is detrimental to the individual and to society. Habitual drug users are far less likely to be employed because the use of drugs makes them far less reliable employees. Higher crime rates make people feel less safe and require a larger police force with a larger budget to deal with it. A key problem of unemployment is that it wastes resources. Unemployed people do not contribute to the economy by paying taxes. If a country has a welfare system, such as Britain does, then unemployed people take money from the budget that could be used in other ways or could result in tax reductions for individuals and companies. The situation is worse with youth unemployment because they could be unemployed for a very long period. In conclusion, unemployment among young people causes a variety of problems for both the individual and for society in general.
