WHAT?Youth Unemployment – a severe issue in Republic of Moldova

Youth Unemployment

Youth don’t have a job. A great part of them have siblings working

in Spain, Italy, Portugal etc. and they think

they can earn “a lot” of money there.

Others prefer earning a degree abroad.

Youth go to work abroad, still being enrolled at a home

university. Incredibly but they still get their degrees, even if

they never actually were present at classes.

A lot of students go study at a foreign university.

A country with an old population, no youth to fight

youth problems like unemployment.

Immigration desires of youth in Republic of Moldova. Survey

conducted out of 100 university and high school students, 20-

26 Feb 2013 . Go abroad, never come back

Go abroad, maybe come back

Go abroad, de-finetely come back

Don't go abroad

WHY?

Youth Unemployment

Indifference

Socialist &

Communist roots, ruined

economy

Corruption

A high level of corruption in educational institutions. Students are used to pay for their exams, so they are not motivated to learn and

they can easily go abroad working, rather then studying. As well it is very hard to get a good job if your “uncle” is not a deputy or a

“businessman”.

The corruption is a consequence of communist regime. As well parents encourage students to get a “safe” job rather then try to think out of

box and be creative. There is no culture of entrepreneurship in Republic of Moldova. On the other hand is hard to enter job market

with no experience. The salaries are very low, for example a beginning accountant earns

around 150 $ a month, while just gas expenses in winter are 100$.

Youth is indifferent and too selective. Today youth don’t consider employment a must. There are a lot of young people that after

graduation still are supported by their parents because they would not take just “any job”. Young people don’t think that is earning a

living is their responsibility anymore.

Power Distribution Chart

Everybody is responsible for this problem equally.

The government cares only about how to get rich during their mandate

It does not implement efficient policies.

Professors continue to take bribes because of their miserable salaries.

Very few has a serious attitude towards teaching.

Society generally accepts briberies and all form of corruption as a

normality. Employers/Employees main goal is to earn as much money

as they can not to enrich the economic environment.

Youth is ignorant. They don’t take initiate to dictate good changes.

They have erroneous behavior and morals.

RECHARGE

Make Propaganda!Reeducate population!

Rebuild values, morals,

behavior, norms.

The IDEA You can not solve a problem in a society that have morals and values damaged. It is

no ok to think that parents can feed till you are 40. It is not ok to refuse working

as a beginning accountant because it

pays you poor. It is not ok of refusing getting experience

because the salary is low. It is not ok to leave your country

and work in Italy as a strawberry gatherer, then come back and buy yourself a BMW X5, leave in your car and pay your exams

(sounds sarcastic, but it is real).

Acting ignorant and stupid,

thinking only about yourself!

FIGHT CLUBNOT THIS ONE!

ConceptFight Club is the concept of a

youth movement in Republic of Moldova, embracing the main

idea presented above. It encourages youth to fight for

their rights, for their expectations, for their needs. It encourages actions to be made

within the network of youth professionals. If government

doesn’t listen to you, you shall become the government. If press ignores you, you shall

become the press. If teachers don’t tech you, you shall

become the teacher. More graduates than jobs!

There is a belief than having a diploma is prestigious. Thus we have lots of “professional” that don’t know actually anything and no technicians, craftsmen

etc. Don’t expect others to make the change, you shall be the

change.

Action 2.2 Creating short term specialized optional courses to be taught by youth

course. These courses are practical and give the students the possibility to study the most required professions on market.

Afterward students are expected to develop their knowledge in choosing the right university or other courses, find a part-time job to support studies, or a permanent job. These kind of courses

also ought to make students interested in studying engineering or go to

professional schools. Thus creating a balance in the graduates quantity and qualification and the market needs ( In

Republic of Moldova most graduates are economists and lawyers).
