Biya plan causes rising youth unemployment and cracks in government

Rising unemployment  expectations amount the youth are adding pressure on the government to create more and more jobs.

 Youth unemployment has soared since the last decade and even more before that and the confederation of Cameroonian industry or the confederation of employers from the private sector has predicted as well.

The rising unemployment amount the youth today in Cameroon is the biggest political problem and the government is fully aware of this and it will be the most important causes of the crisis tomorrow in Cameroon.

Biya against the peace  

In Cameroon with a population of over 19 million and 64% under 25 years old and most of them graduated from universities and colleges and with no job available, the government has decided just to give CFA 8.136 billion as budget for the government department in charge of youth affairs.

 This represents only 0.31% of the entire financial budget for the year that is CFA 2571 billion. The real challenge here is to know how the government policy will help to create and even boost job creation for the youth.

 Since the beginning of the year the ministry of youth affairs has planned to inject less than CFA 2,6 billion in the market to create jobs for only less than 500 youngsters where there are hundred thousand off jobs and without any job perspective at the moment except some government promises.

In today address to the youth on the conservative government 45th celebration of the national Youth Day, Biya will again encourage the youth to take responsibilities where there are no real intention or will of jobs creation.


What future for this generation? 



According to Adoum Garoua, Minister for Youth Affairs,  Paul Biya, invites his young compatriots to discover or rediscover the rich and dense heritage policy of our country's history. 

He invites young people to be responsible for heirs of this rich heritage. He urges youth to consolidate the gains that make Cameroon a large Nation to know peace, national integration, bilingualism, solidarity, unity in diversity and democracy among others.

 To consolidate these achievements, it is essential for young people to acquire them, grow, share and transmit to future generations. It will enable our country to attain the objectives set by the Document's strategy for growth and employment aims to make Cameroon on the horizon 2035 a country emerging, democratic and united in its diversity.

Minister for Youth Affairs with no means


 But young people have already acquired what it takes to share and to transmit to the future generations. What it needed today its is money, fundings, opportunities, jobs and real democracy and not just words and promises without action.

The rising unemployment amount the youth is a real cause of the crisis that will affect Cameroon in the nearest future. Gicam internal watchdog has criticised the government for failing to spot the growing social crisis about the rising of youth unemployment.

 After 27 years in control, Biya is failing miserably and the opposition has not got yet the right solution about it.
