Summary
In the 21st century, the quality of education has tremendously improved, while the percentage of educated people increases. While this achievement has provided a positive impact on society, it has brought about new challenges. One of the main challenges is the issue of employment after graduation. The rate of job creation has not increased proportionately with the increase in graduates graduating every year. The situation leads to a new social phenomenon where a growing number of graduates are increasingly becoming unemployed. The case is only likely to worsen under the current economic conditions further exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.
