persistent increase in youth unemployment ,Elimika in this first strategic
plan will focus on two main areas
Youth unemployment

aspects

CONTEXTUAL
OVERVIEWS
Youth unemployment
The state of the labour force in Tanzania
shows that the majority of the able-bodied population continues to be primarily
under-employed. Most labour market analysis studies have shown a persistent
exclusion of th emajority of the labour force from productive activities of a
dynamic and sustainable form, of the underdevelopmentof rural and urban
non-formal economies, and of the inability of the formal economies to
generateadequate employment opportunities. There is a high level of underemployment
amongst the youth, withnew entrants in the labour market estimated to be one
million youths each year’
Unemployment has been a critical
challenge in the global agenda; most of all the countries face unemployment
challenges though in different rates. Global Employment Trends for 2012 show
that 74.8 million youth aged 15-24 were unemployed in 2011, rising by around
four million since 2007. Globally, young people are nearly three times as
likely as adults to be unemployed, on the basis of an annual report on global
employment report International Labour Organization (ILO)
Government statistics released in
January 2013 indicate that the country’s unemployment rate stood at 11.7 per
cent in 2012 from 10.7 percent in 2011. Youth are the most affected group. A
labour force survey in Tanzania done in 2012 indicates that youth unemployment
was 33 per cent of the entire unemployed population.
According
to the report of M. C. Mcha Acting Director of Employment, Ministry of Labor
and Employment (February, 2012) New entrants in the labor market estimated
between 800,000 – 1,000,000 school and college graduates each year, resulting
to high number of unemployed youth. Unemployed people had reached 2.3 million,
equivalent to 11.7% of all persons aged 15 years and above, Unemployment rate
amongst youth (15-34 years old) was 13.4%, female’s stands at 14.3% and amongst
males were 12.3% (ILFS, 2007). Urban areas are hardest hit with unemployment
rate reaching 22.3% as against 7.1% in the rural areas. The situation is most
critical in Dar es Salaam with unemployment rate standing at 31.5%.
The employment challenges in Tanzania are
enormous and calls for an urgent need for an adequate response and a
comprehensive approach towards addressing it. Employment promotion for poverty
reduction is a primary goal in Tanzania. For example the Decent Work Country
Programme strives for economic growth with equity, whereas contributing to all
the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Government efforts
According to the Government of Tanzania, it
recognizes the link between economic growth, poverty reduction and labour
market performance and has implemented a number of measures and polices to
strengthen the labour market institutions and systems that promote and
coordinate employment. Since the adoption of the National Employment Policy in
1997, the Government in collaboration with other stakeholders continued to
design and implement a number of policies and programmes aimed at enhancing job
creation. These programmes included National Youth Development Policy 2007 and Youth
Action Plan; a comprehensive employment creation Programme 2011 – 2015 with
special focus on youth; and Youth Entrepreneurship Facility Programme.
Supportive policy and legal frameworks have been developed and reviewed for
enhancing employment creation. Such programmes and projects implemented,
include those focusing on increasing financial support for micro credit schemes
for the youth, women, entrepreneurs and other vulnerable groups, skills
training through vocational education and training, management and business training
and counseling as well as review of labour and employment related laws. It is
accepted, however, that past efforts have not been sufficient to prevent an
increase in national Unemployment and Underemployment rates. Hence the need
arise to promulgate a new national employment policy (2008) to reverse the past
trends and not only reduce Unemployment, Underemployment rates but also
increase labour productivity
SELF
DETERMINATION:
Self-determination
(SDT) is an empirically based theory of human
motivation, development, and wellness. The theory focuses on types, rather
than just amount, of motivation, paying particular attention to autonomous
motivation, controlled motivation, and motivation as predictors of performance,
relational, and well-being outcomes. It also addresses the social conditions
that enhance versus diminish these types of motivation, proposing and finding
that the degrees to which basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence,
and relatedness are supported versus thwarted affect both the type and strength
of motivation. SDT also examines people’s life goals or aspirations, showing
differential relations of intrinsic versus extrinsic life goals to performance
and psychological health. In this introduction we also briefly discuss recent
developments within SDT concerning mindfulness and vitality, and highlight the applicability
of SDT within applied domains, including work, relationships, parenting, and
education, virtual
Environments,
sport, sustainability, health care, and psychotherapy.
