| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to examine youth unemployment and its effects on personal security of the local community in Dambi Dollo town. To achieve the main objective of the study a mixed research design was used. The data collected through key informant in-depth interviews and FGD were analyzed thematically while data collected from document review were analyzed by bar graphs, pie charts, and percentages. Participants of the study were selected using purposive and snowball sampling based on their lived experiences and expertise. The result obtained from both sources reveals that youth unemployment has significant effects on the personal security of the local community. The prolonged youth unemployment resulted in increments of crime and violence in the study area. Though all unemployed youth are not engaged in committing crimes and violence, those youth with prolonged unemployment became the sources of personal insecurity in the study area. Hence, those unemployed youth engaged in theft, robbery, damaging people’s property, physical assault, burglary, and group fighting are identified as sources of personal insecurity to the local community in the study area. The study also indicated that different types of theft, breaking the rule of law, sexual harassment (Rape), different sexual crimes (verbal and physical abuse), lying and fraud, using and trading illegal weapons, and stealing commodities on a car are among personal security threats of the community in the study area. This study identified youth unemployment as the main source of personal insecurity that led to the expansions of crimes and violence in the study area. This implies that the main sources of personal insecurity emanate from youth unemployment in the study area could be addressed through a strong partnership between concerned government sectors and by promoting vibrant private investment. | |
