A STUDY conducted by the government way back in 2014 found out that a total of 27,614 graduates were unemployed out of whom 14,271 were females and 13,343 were males, the National Assembly was told.
This was revealed here by the Deputy
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Mr Anthony Mavunde, while
responding to a basic question by Vvawa MP, Mr Japhet Hasunga (CCM), who
wanted to know the number of unemployed graduates in the country.
The Deputy Minister however said the
government was still putting in place conducive environment to enable
the youth to be employed or engage in self-employment through provision
of credit facilities.
He mentioned other measures to create
jobs as strengthening of the Tanzania Employment Services Agency
(TAESA). “There is also a plan in the pipeline to boost skills
development which is slated to start in the coming fiscal year,” he
stated.
Mr Mavunde noted on the other hand that
limited funds have been holding back the government from conducting
regular studies on unemployment.
