Labour, Employment and Youth Development minister Gaudensia Kabaka
“I urge social security funds to compete so as to attract more members, especially from the private sector,” said Kabaka.
Speaking at the launch of the Social
Security Week in commemorating 50 years of independence in Dar es Salaam
on Tuesday, Kabaka said that only 3 per cent of workers in Tanzania
had joined social security funds.
The Social Security Week, with the theme '50 years of independence - social security funds for all', will end November 13.
Commenting on the challenges facing the
ministry, Kabaka said that the increasing number of graduates in
Tanzania's universities does correspond with employment opportunities,
hence precipitating an unemployment problem.
She advised youths to be aggressive in
competing for jobs since they are academically well equipped well,
promising that the government was working to solve the scourge of
unemployment.
