| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The general assumption of people that youth unemployment causes conflict situation lacks direct linkage, instead, numerous intervening factors affecting the lives of young people created frustrations and sense of grievances; and youth faces barriers in acquiring education and job opportunities in the labour market. The situation also surfaces over the varied socio-cultural differences of the youth along gender inequality, ideological, class, religion and geographical location with politicians playing to the gallery of these differences. Youth bulger theory is utilised to relate the implications of teaming population increase, insufficient food supply, high prices, reduction is purchasing power leading to social unrest. However, in-depth interview and focus group discussion was employed by the researcher giving the need to explore the link between youth, unemployment, socio-political, economic issues and marginalization among the youth leading to inequality and structural violent conflict situation. Understanding the situation will simplify policy framework and responses initiatives by the stake holders. |
