Homelessness

Causes of homelessness :-

The statistics show that the number of homeless is increasing nowadays in some countries while it is decreasing in other countries. Mason (2013) stated "Homelessness has increased for three consecutive years, partly because of housing shortages and cuts to benefits, with an estimated 185,000 people a year now affected in England".

The increase in the rate of homelessness is due to many reasons such as unemployment which brings with it a lack of income. This situation may arise because they are unqualified and so lack academic certificates. Secondly, some youth have their own problems with their family members. This problem might lead them to leave their home before having enough mony to find their accommodation. According to Crisis (2012) "Young people become homeless because they are forced to leave their current accommodation and are not able to find a suitable alternative".


The Government should provide shelters for those homelessness. For example, build few hostile, 2-3 star hotel and small flats where they can share in. Secondly, offer jobs to earn monthly salary. Besides, companies, shops, malls, and private property should work as hard as they can to help both Government and the homelessness.



Sharing flats could leads to problems between homelessness. Some people may drink alcohol at night which leads to disturbs other. Old homeless people can not work in certain jobs. This due to their mental health problems. So, all governments should meet together and discuss this situation and look up for suitable solution to satisfy both parties

Youth unemployment in the UK

Youth unemployment is now a big problem in the U.K.
There are a number of causes for high youth unemployment :-

1. Suspended teens from school, in other way unqualified students.
2. A person with mental health problem.
3. Immigrants are working for less money.
4. Youth are being more lazy to do things. So, some jobs do not accept them

This highly problematic situation are affecting negatively on teenagers in current life, and this setting their lives at risk. Young people feel that they have nothing to live for. A lady called katherine works as a reporter at the BBC news, interviewed one of the youth unemployed named Chris Newell. Newell (2014) as cited in Sellgren (2014) said " I just got into a cycle of staying in bed because I had nothing to wake up for. Then I began noticing my mental health getting worse and worse. I became depressed and anxious. When I went out in public it got to the point where I felt paranoid and edgy around people". The government is doing their best to find a appropriate solution for this problem, while jobs at the same time must offers young citizen the opportunity rather than offering immigrants.

Some citizens are unqualified, old people with mental health problem, and non-compliant with the work conditions. Therefore, these people listed above are not accepted in some particular jobs.

 It is recommended from families to help their sons and daughters to get their qualified certificate, and not to neglect them. In the future, the problem might be solved and thing would be better.
