| dc.description.abstract | IX Abstract This research was conducted in Hawassa city to assess experience of graduate unemployed youth. As qualitative study, I employed descriptive phenomenological research. Interview, focus group discussion, observation and document review were employed. Heterogeneous purposive non-random sampling technique was used to collect data from the youth. Among the research participants, ten youth engaged in in-depth interview while six youth had part in focus group discussion. The inclusion criteria are the youth who graduated in diploma and bachelor degree and not secured any job since their graduation at least for one year. The finding of the study indicated graduate unemployed youth faced long-term unemployment; as a result, the youth were suffering from psychological, social and economic hardship. The finding also indicated that unemployed youth are more likely exposed to engage in social ills such as crime and addiction. The youth also suffer from family and social stereotype deprived from certain privileges. In the study, it is revealed that the youth withdrew themselves from various societal engagements. Moreover, the family of the youth also stressed economically and psychologically due to the fact that they did not get something in return from their investment in their children‟s education. Corruption and nepotism, skill mismatch, need to work only in comfortable areas are the major causes of unemployment in the study area. Key words: | en_US |
