The  relationship  amid  education  and unemployment  is one  that  is  characterized  by  opposition  as  the  low  individuals  education status means  that  the  rate  of  unemployment  in the  specific  state  is  high[1].  Education is  a major  player in the economy  through the  provision jobs  since  educated  persons secures  skilled  and expertise  jobs thus lowering the unemployment  level[2].  The  higher  the  level  of education the  higher  the  effectiveness  of the skilled training  which  means  that  individuals are exposed  to high  earning  jobs  that  additionally  helps  in lowering poverty.  Employees  who  are  highly  educated  posses  intensive and efficient  skills  which  impacts  performance positively  which  fills  the  jobs openings.

Research Topic

Leading Research Question

What is the relationship between unemployment and education?

Focus

Education and unemployment are both interdependent on each other. These two elements are major players in the development process of any nation. Two elements belong to two different categories- one leads to progress in economy while other leads to decline in economy.

Definitions

Employment:  is the situation where by individuals having salaried work.

Unemployment:  is a major phenomenon that occurs when an individual who is actively in search of employment is unable to get one.

Education:  the  procedure  of  offering or receiving  systematic  instructions  particularly  at a learning institution such as school  or even  university.

Rationale

The study will be providing primary  information that  relates  to  the  effects of  both  education and employment  on each other  as well as  the  economy. The subject   is of much significance to the larger audience in understanding the importance of education.  In addition, the research will attempt to demonstrate how the lack of high levels of education affects employment.  Through  the  proposition  of alternatives  that  can be  utilized  in  ensuring  that  the  issues  are  solved  this  will contribute highly  towards  creating knowledge  that  is useful  in the  sector for  future  study.  Through the  delivery  of the  specific  information  this will be useful   in forming ground  for  research  and  act as  a major recommendation to  facilitating  the  change  of  states perception of  education  and unemployment.  The  information  will  be  useful in the  creation  of  conducive  environment  for  ensuring that the ability to  access  to education  is increased  and  hence  lower  the  rising risks of unemployment  that  negative impacts  both  the  society  and the economy.  The  research  is useful since  it  will increase  my  knowledge in regarding to  the  contributions  of education  towards employment  and the  economy.

Methods

The study will utilize specifically a qualitative research in gathering information.  The  acquired  existing literature  will  then be  reviewed  in relation  to  the  relationship  between  education  and unemployment.  The  secondary  sources   that will  be utilized  for the  study  will  be  journals,  books,  websites   and articles  to  provide  an  effective  basis in understanding  the  research subject  and establish  the  relationship  between  unemployment and  education  level.  Qualitative  research  was chosen  based  on  its  general ability  to  gather  maximum  information.  In addition,  the  existing  literature  is  essential  in offering  justification  to  the  study’s  hypothesis.  In addition  the  qualitative   approach  is suitable  because   it requires less  time  to  gather information, more  flexible   and  less  costly.  This  therefore  implies  that  adequate  information  will  be  acquired  in order  to  offer  support  to the  study  based  on the  literature   offered  in the  studies  by  different  authors.   Through  maximization  of information  and  efficiency   it  will  therefore  be easier  for  the  research  objective  to  be achieved  in a reliable  and accurate  manner.

Draft: The relationship between education level and unemployment

Unemployment and Education are directly connected in that deficiency of one leads to the negative effect of the other.  Both components contribute greatly towards the economic, social and political progress. Progress  in the  above mentioned  sectors  cannot  be  accomplished  with  education  which in  turn creates  employment for the  skilled  and  unskilled employees[3].  With the  lack  or the  high cost  of  accessing education in  underdeveloped  and developing  states  the  presence of unskilled   labourers  is  high.  In most cases, the lack of   education results   in the high rates of unemployment.  This  makes  the  both  elements  are  direct  proportions which demonstrates  that the  unemployment issues  can best  be  handled  by  the high access  of  education.

The  relationship  amid  education  and unemployment  is one  that  is  characterised  by  opposition  as  the  low  individuals  education status means  that  the  rate  of  unemployment  in the  specific  state  is  high.  Education is  a major  player in the economy  through the  provision jobs  since  educated  persons secures  skilled  and expertise  jobs thus lowering the unemployment  level[4].  The  higher  the  level  of education the  higher  the  effectiveness  of the skilled training  which  means  that  individuals are exposed  to high  earning  jobs  that  additionally  helps  in lowering poverty.  Employees  who  are  highly  educated  posses  intensive and efficient  skills  which  impacts  performance positively  which  fills  the  jobs openings.

In the  recent, the  rate  of  women  participation in  professional openings  and high influences  in  progress  has increased  and this  has  be useful in  creating a balance amid  gender  employment.  The  access to   education  has  equipped  persons  with  adequate knowledge  required  and suitable  for technical  positions  thus  boosting   organisational  effectiveness.  The  basic  skills  held  by persons are  developed  through  education  which offers  different  perspective  that  are aimed at  creating  developments.  Through education  people are  able   to obtain strategies  that  can be  utilised  in  creating self employment  rather  than waiting  for  skilled  employment  which is  characterised  by  competition and this is also  useful in  lowering the  rate of unemployment[5].  Employability and innovative  skills  can best be developed  via education  where employees  are  able  to acquire  increased  understanding  that  regards  being open minded to  different  ideas,  cooperation, judgement,  decision making and management   of time[6].  Through  this employees  are highly  equipped  to solve  issues  that  may  arise  in  operations.  In this regard it  is  essential  to note that  formal  education  is a necessity  for  individuals  with the need  of acquiring  higher  paying  positions,  stability  of employment  and increased, innovative and  developed opportunities. In that, getting  proper  jobs  requires  education  that  equips one  with  the  needed  knowledge for  skills and competence development.

In reality, the negative relation amid education and the rate of unemployment is obvious.  The  ratio  of individuals  enrolling in  schools  is  rising  yearly  which has thus  resulted  in the decrease  of  unemployment.  Most  individuals believes  that  the  rate  of unemployment  is on  the rise but  it should be  noted that  through  education  the number   of those  that  have secured  skilled  employment  is higher  than  before.  Education   has  created  innovativeness  which has in turn  created  jobs  since  the development  are utilised  in  different  sectors  with  the operation of  expertises.  Skilled jobs increases with higher knowledge which triggers innovativeness.  In respect  to the  creation  of  more  skilled  jobs the unskilled  opportunities  are  also  risen  since  skilled  and unskilled  duties  are  interrelated.  This  is  a useful  factor  of education  that  helps in  addressing  and  reducing the  unemployment  rate  globally[7].

Education  has  however,  become  very  expensive  in the modern  society  and  most  people  in  the developing economies  are  usually not  able  to  afford  the  services.  With this the  effect  is seen  in the  manner  that  the  level of  unemployment  in those  economies  or  states  are higher.  The higher  the  cost  of education the  higher  the rate  of unemployment  particularly  in the  underdeveloped  and developing  states.  In the  present  period  that  is characterised  by  technological progress and  globalisation  increase  more  chances   are  offered  to  individuals  in gaining  knowledge   and  developing  the existing skills which  is useful  in  acquiring further  chances  and decreasing unemployment. Education  can best  be[8] described as  an element  that  offers  training  to improve  the  necessary  skills  that  are  necessary  for  empowering  persons.

There is a very strong correlation amid employment and educational attainment. In that  the  most educated  persons  tend to experience higher  earning  since  they are  exposed  to low  unemployment  levels. Although the  differences  existing  amid the rates of unemployment  among the  educational  groups  have  reduced  in the  recent, it  is clear  that  acquiring even higher education improves  the  potential  of  acquiring  jobs. Individuals are  currently  exposed  to  more  openings in the  global  setting  provided  that  they  have  the  necessary  qualities. The higher  the  education the  higher  the  knowledge,  improved  skills  and competence  which implies that  the  existing  chances  for  acquiring  opportunities  are  usually  increased[9].   Education   is essential  in  ensuring  that   individuals are  fully  equipped  with  the  skills  and the  appropriate  knowledge  that  is  needed  in the  job market.

Education  increases more  of skilled  opportunities as compared  to unskilled  despite the  fact  that  training  is offered  theoretically and  technically.  The reason being  that  education  tends  to  lie  on the  development  of knowledge  that  will  have  a direct  impact   on the  skills and competence rather  than technical  abilities.  Through knowledge individuals are usually empowered to accomplish the given tasks without fail.  Education can best be credited best on its ability to lower the level of unemployment on a global scale.  The developing states  normally  provide unskilled  labour to the   states  where  attainment of  education  is high  due  to  the  level of economy[10].  Through education economic and social progress can be attained which will in turn lead to the reduction of poverty rate. 

In conclusion, the general development of higher education generates negative implications on the rate of employment.  It is apparent that unemployment and education factors are opposing related to one another.  It  is therefore, useful  to  create  more  programs  for developing the  enrolment persons  to  schools that will  result in higher  levels  of education  which is  crucial  in decreasing the  rate  of unemployment.  From the rate  of unemployment  that   id depicted   in the  developing  and the  underdeveloped states  that  holds  lower  education  levels  due  to high cost it is clear  that  education  is crucial  in generation  of working opportunities.  The advancement of knowledge   in the present era has resulted into the creation of more skilled and flexible   jobs.  It  can  thus  be  justified   to state  that  the rising  educational  access  status  globally   has  resulted  in the  creation   of more opportunities  for  skilled and the unskilled  persons.

According  to the  labour statistics bureau employment’s projections  earnings as well as  the rates of  unemployment  are directly impacted  by the  level  of employment.  In that  the  higher  the  education that   an  individual  has acquired  the  higher  the  rate  of earning  and the  lower  the  chances  of  being  unemployed[11].  This is  usually  the  case since  those  that  are  with  higher  education  such as  doctorate  degree  tends  to  be  more  equipped  in terms  of skills,  knowledge  and competence  that is  required  in  increasing production.  Individuals  who  holds an education  level  that  is below   high or diploma level are  those that  are  highly  unemployed  while those with master’s, bachelor  and doctorate  degrees  earns high  with   less  chances  of being unemployed.  Knowledge  and experience  as  some of the  things that  draws  the   differences  since those that  are highly  educated  hold more  skills based  on their experiences.  They  are therefore  paid more  based  on what  they  have  while  those  without  education  are  forced  to offer  manual  labour[12]. This information  will  be  useful  in  supporting  the hypothesis  that  higher  education  results  in reduced  rates  of unemployment.  This will therefore  be  utilised  in demonstrating  the  existing relationship  amid  education  and the unemployment  level  globally[13].

The source will be utilised in reviewing details regarding the relation existing amid the growth of population and employment.  It is apparent  that  the  increase  of  population results in  higher  levels  of unemployment  and this  is  balanced  by  the  existence  of  higher  education  that  helps  in  creating  opportunities  for  the  larger  population. It should be  noted that  high population results in poor education  which in turn affects  the  capability of the  economy  to create  jobs  due  to the  lack  of innovativeness  which is essential in  jobs  creation.  In that  despite  the fact  that  the cost  of  education  may  be  low  quality   also  determines  the  rate  by  which  unemployment   is  to  be  solved.  In that,  mostly  in the  underdeveloped  and the  developing  states  the   quality  of education is normally  low  which affects  the ability  to  be  progressive. The availability of quality education in those states is normally characterised with scarcity and high cost.  Most individuals in such sectors are forced to acquire education that is below standard. This means that the  creation  of self employment  s low  and people  have  to  wait   for  employment  which only accommodates  a few  of the  highly educated  persons thus leaving majority  of them  with  no  employment[14].

According to Mihai, and Irina, (396), the present economy is in need of persons with high knowledge, expertise skills as well as experience.  All  this cannot  be  acquired  without  education  which is essential  in triggering  individuals ability  to  create  fresh ideas. In such an era of globalisation, technological development provides more opportunities to the person to gain knowledge and improve efficient skills which further helps to acquire more job opportunities and lower unemployment[15]. The employability skills of the employees can be improved through educational level for which the workers can get different job. Educational level of the candidates also helps to gain experience ad access more information for getting updated with appropriate information[16]. The training and development program in the education provides an opportunity to the job seekers to participate more effectively in searching appropriate job in the labour force. Henceforth, it has been found that, there is negative correlation between education and unemployment where higher educational level is useful to mitigate the issue of unemployment in the society.

            This information is essential in highlighting the general significance of education in creating employment. Education  is  classified  to  be  a major  impact  on  negative  and positive effects  on  the  employment  rate.  With  the  presence  of  higher  education  the  rate  of employment  is increased  which means that  those  that  benefit earns  high thus  raising the standard  of living[17]. This  simply means  that  education  holds the  ability  of solving  poverty  through creating a able economy  that  is characterised  by high  incomes.  This will  help  in  providing justification  of  the   study’s  hypothesis  that  seeks to  prove  that  education and unemployment  are  interrelated.  In addition, this will create a better understanding in regard to the general contribution of education despite the rising population.

"Relationship between adverse childhood experiences and unemployment among adults from five US states." Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology 48, no. 3 (2013): 357-369.

According to Zhao, and Valerie, (360), children that are  exposed  to  adverse  experiences  such as  living  in  low income families and economies  that  are not yet developed  are  more likely to  be unemployed. This  is  because  the  experiences  did  not  offer  the  necessary  opportunities  for acquiring  education  that  is essential  in  equipping them  with  skills and the  necessary knowledge  that  is required  to work. In underdeveloped and developing nations, education is found to be difficult to afford. Therefore availability of unskilled labour is more in those countries[18]. In such scenarios, absence of proper education leads to unemployment. Again if unemployment is more, common people are unable to afford education for their children. Thus these two are directly proportional to each other. This information  is useful in demonstrating  how  adverse  experiences affects  the  abilities of individuals  to access  education which results in  unemployment.

It has been found that there is inverse relationship between education and unemployment as low educational level of the people implies that the rate of unemployment in the country is high[19]. Education plays a crucial role on employment rate of the country as the educational levels helps the candidates to get job and reduce overall unemployment rate. Higher level of education and training in the country helps to reduce unemployment and under employment and further it helps to reduce poverty. It has been found that educational level is inversely related to the rate of unemployment. The educational level of a nation is helpful for the candidates to gain knowledge and improve sills to get appropriate job which further provides a scope to reduce overall unemployment in the nation[20]. Education of the employees indicates that the workers are efficient and intensive in fulfilling the job vacancies by applying their skills in getting effective job[21].
