Deepthi, 20, India: i am from hyderabad, India. Of course, the decission 'when' to take a job has broader implications. Firstly, there are many kids in my country who have decided to leave their house and education to go seek a job. They often end up as child laborers in horrible conditions. Many kids are not aware of the importance of education and i certainly think the efforts that being made do not reach the masses. The education system,could be definitely modified to make way for more courses which could help them earn a living rather than about the things they are not concerned about like the geography or biology of an cockroach. What children need is education, no doubt about it. What they need more essentially is food and not a long term educational plan that would feed them some time later. They could work somewhere with these skills acquired in the school and this would keep up the motivation to go to school and not drop out. I have seen children and made a desperate attempt to talk them out of it. But they found no motivation in going back to school.Children who leave their hoods is increasing at an alarming rate, especially from the poorer section of the society. Without a formal education or training, they often end up in contributing nothing but few more people in the poor section of the society. And the cycle continues.

Busani, 31, South Africa: In South Africa, youth have different experiences of the labour market - as workers and job seekers. Factors that enable or disable labour market participation include level of education & skills, occupational experience, social capital, location (some areas have low economic activity), access to information as well as structural problems in the economy. Due to a skills mismatch, you do find tertiary graduates who can't find jobs.

Due to others factors such as the burden of disease, there are young people who enter the labour market very early when they should still be at school.

participation in the labour market also has a racial parten with white youth accessing jobs & self employment easier than black youth - apartheid legacy.

We have notable best practices of youth employment and self employment programmes in the country that can be shared with the rest of the world. Programmes like Umsobomvu Youth Fund, a development Fund created by government to support : access to information, skills development and SMME support (inlcuding finance) for people under the age of 35. There are success stories of youth who are now making it in the world of work or in business as a result of this programme of government. the private sector is now starting to invest in this programme to suppliment the once-off grant from the state. Some of the case studies are already documented and these are available on request. Examples can be accessed on www.youthportal.org.za.

as government, we are enhancing our capacity to deliver employment programmes for youth in a coordinated and integrated fashion. this is part of our commitment to the attainment of the MDGs.

Tafadzwa, 22, Zimbabwe: Young people face difficulties when seeking employmeny, due to the high unmeployment rates, especially in Africa. You find that most job openings will be looking for someone who already has hands on experience. The education can be seen as making efforts in preparing students for employment, but greater onus rests on the student. Whilst this is good, measures can be taken up by most stidents, especially college leavers so as to be sought after by employers.

1. Whilst in school, students can join clubs, societies or movements that teach beyond academic intelligence, activities that equip them with essential professional and career skills such as resposibility, problem solving, leadership and presentation skills to mention but a few.

2. Students shoul dtake advantage of vacation periods to get part time jobs, which will add on to their experience and ability to fit in with ease at the work place. There can also carry out voluntary work

3. Schools' currriculums should provide for courses that are also biased towards life, work and social skills. Particularly important, especially in secondary schools, is career guidance and counselling subjects, which when carried out effectively will ensure that students will make better informed decisions on their career choice.

Tran, 16, Vietnam: Nowaday, most people like a simple morden life. So they usualy choose a light piece of work. For examble: they want to have a work near their house or they don't want to feel tired in their work, etc.

However, a person who enjoys his work he will try to finish his work successfully. In order to do that, he has to have skills: diligent, smart, jolly... For examble, a designer wants to have some successful products, he has to be active, self-motivated, funny and specially he'd like to read books to research.

It was said that each of works is a difficulty. You must use your knowledge to solve your problem. But you have to study hard.

In Vietnam, if you don't study hard you will have no degree. So you might become a unemployment. Like this, you have to study hard, reseach, read books and practise to have experience, skills and knowledge. This is the basic of every success.

Winston, 25, Ghana: The challemges of a young man like my self seeking to settle after completing my first degree is indeed an intriguingly frustrating experience. out of these challenges and fristrations, one behaves like a typical baby who picks everything he finds into his mouth, including poisnous items without even knowing that it can kill him. if such a baby does not have someone old enough to guide him, its only a matter of time that such a baby will be killed in this unfriendly environment we find ourselves now. what am trying to send across is that one is unable to get what he wants and is forced to accept any job offer even to the abuse of ones right because you want to keep body and soul together.

the kind of work young people can get into in my view can not be determined by the young person himself now. just like one is forced to do a course he does not like, but has to do it because that is what he has been given by the authorities, one comes out totally confused as to where to go and what to do and in doing that one enters just any place he can find whether it is his field or not. so the jobs for the future will still remain what my collegues and i term 'UN employed' that is unemployed an for that matter graduate unemployment because that is the situation now.

this has been brought about by the current education system which only seeks to concentrate on quantity but not quality. lack of infrastructure, numerous students per fewer teachers and a host of inefficient and old fashioned learning methods, todays youth have inadequate preparation to stand on their own after school and still seek for people to employ them.

the skills needed are entepreneural and problem solving methods of teaching and learning which will build the capacity of young people to identify problems around them and put themselves to it to find solutions to them, and by that, the young person create employment for himself.

there are a lot of barriers but inadequate capacity building is certainly a prominent one.

Peter, 24, Nigeria: FIRST OF ALL, I WANT THANKS THE MANAGEMENT OF WORLD FOR THEIR AND CONCERN ON YOUNG DEVELOPMENT COME 2007, BEFORE I STARTED ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTION, I WILL FIRST ALL INTRODUCING MYSELF, GIVE OUT MY LATTEST EXPERINCE.

"I AM JOHN PETER, A NIGERIAN, ALSO A ORDINARY NATIONAL DIPLOMA HOLDER ON BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, DUE TO LACK OF EMPLOYMENT I TOOK UP BLESSED HOPE FOUNDATION A NON GOVT, ORG. (NGO) ON SELF- RELIANCE, TO ENPOWER YOUTH IN THE RURAL AREA, BUT THE PROBLEM WE ARE FACING IS THERE IS NO SUPPORT FROM GOVT BECAUCE I DON'T HAVE godfather. SO WE ARE FACING FAINACING PROBLEM. SO PLEASE WE ALSO NEED HELP FROM THE WORLD BANK BECAUSE PRESENTLY WE ARE ON APPEAL FUND. PLS. WE HOPE TO FROM THE WORLD BANK.

NOW TO ANSWER SOME THE; THE PRIMARY CHALLENGES FACING THE YOUNG PEOPLE SEEKING JOBS, IS THAT GOVT, DID NOT WORKING ON JOBS CREATION FOR THE YOUNGS. ON MY OWN SUGGESTION I THINK A PART FROM THE YOUNG ONCE WORKING FOR JOBS SOMEWHERE, I THINK EMPOWERMENT IS THE FIANAL SOLUTION, BUT GOT DID NOT DO THAT. PLS BECAUSE OF TIME I WILL ANSWEWR THE REMAINING QUESTION NEXT TIME.

Ilakkia, 24, India: Frankly, the current younger generation is really at cross roads. They try to swim with the current. They are more demand driven than talent driven. The education system is hopelessly failing to find talents in young minds. The education system is also highly commercialised and it looks everything with a commercial vision. Educating the youth is a mammoth task and not simply commercial operation. What we are now doing is to produce human robots to carry on tasks even the robos shy away from doing. With the business process outsourcing goes on unabated, the persons carry on jobs for unknown masters. This cannot go on for a very long time. People will shrink from doing this type of jobs or else will be afflicted by as yet unknown psychological disorders.

While very bright and talented young people are being wasted in job such as this, only the filtered ones are left to cater to the foundation of the knowledge. The quality of knoweledge will suffer. The job of the future is to correct this disorder of the current millennium. The education system is required to be reoriented so that the teacher is capable of teaching and the student is capable of enriching the knowledge. The IT is a like rail road or electricity. That in itself cannot make an economy rich or vibrant. That might after all facilitate. The skills that are required to be developed in young people are not repetitive ones but original and pristine. We talk of communication skill. No one knows what is the level to be achieved. I wish the young people should be what they are and develop character, vision, knowledge and sincereity. This will make them competitive and the barrier they fac is lack of realisation of these essential qualities.

Mercy Malundu (14), Jack Jason Lengwe (16), Paul Mugala (16) and Veronique Tembo (16), Zambia: The Children's Press Bureau (CPB) is a program under Youth Media, a Zambian non-governmental organisation. The CPB is staffed by children aged 12 to 18 years old and gives young people the power and means to express themselves through the media on issues that affect them, and to advocate the needs of children and youth to the Government and policy-makers.

From CPB members: Young Zambians should look at farming as an alternative for their employment. It is already known that jobs are scarce and so farming could be a very good avenue through which they can contribute to the development of the country.

A challenge faced by young people is a lack of proper qualifications in the area that they would like to specialise. For example, a student that does not pass with all As in college will get a GCE qualification, but still may not qualify for the job.

Another challenge faced by young people is that they are likely to be overworked and their employers can take advantage of them because of their age. This can lead to severe complications. Young people are also likely to be underpaid. They are given jobs which do not match their physical strength, and are given low wages because they have no choice. People who work as maids or house-boys go through abuse - some are sexually abused, some physically abused or suffer cruel punishments if what they have been asked to do is not done properly.

To avoid jobs like house-servants and cleaners, youth programs can include training in other jobs like catering, carpentry and building work.

Current education does not prepare young people for gainful employment because it is not of high quality. This is causing most pupils to lose interest in and drop out of school. Strikes also compromise the quality of education in Zambia.

The youth should start looking for jobs as soon as they have finished their college diploma. Young people should work in their own country so as to contribute to the development of their country.

Gozie, 26, Nigeria: The primary challenges facing the young people seekinbg employment lays basically on the economic policy of that economy and the implimentation of such policies.
2.The right time is as soon as one has acquired working skills.
3.The I.T industry is quite suitable and agriculture...but this also depends on the enconomy..but the jobs of the future should be 'information technology.'
4.I think the current educational system should be restructured.
5. Communications with the world, exposure that where world is moving.

Simon, 20, Nigeria: ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGE IS THE ISSUE OF "NO CONNECTION" WHICH IS VERY PROMINENT IN MY COUNTRY, THE LACK OF ADEQUATE OR CONTEMPORARY KNOWLEDGE IS A CRUCIAL FACTOR.THIS ANSWER CAN BE SEEN IN TWO PHASES (EDUCATED AND NON-EDUCATED) FOR THOSE WHOM HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF ATTENDING SCHOOL, THEY SHOULD START MAKING EFFORTS A YEAR FROM THEIR GRADUATION.FOR THE NON-EDUCATED;THE PROCESS SHOULD START AS SOON AS THEY HAVE ATTAINED THE LEGAL AGE WHICH THEIR COUNTRY CONSIDERS TO BE AN AGE OF ADULTHOOD.THE BEST KIND OF WORK TO GET INTO IS ONE IN WHICH EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS A HIGH LEVEL OF ABILITY, INTEREST, AND TALENT; WE SHOULD NOT FORGET THE GREAT ROLE OF HOBBY.THE JOBS OF THE FUTURE WILL MOSTLY GO TO THOSE WHO HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE IN VARIOUS AREAS OF LIFE BUT WHOM AT THE SAME TIME CAN ADAPT TO CHANGES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WHICH UNDENIABLY IS THE PIVOT OF PROGRESS IN OUR CONTEMPORARY AGE.IN MY PART OF THE WORLD;THE CURRENT EDUCATION SYSTEM IS REALLY NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT MOST!

ESPECIALLY THE HIGHER INSTITUTIONS.THE SKILLS THAT ARE GENERALLY NECESSARY ARE THE ABILITY TO READ AND WRITE,THE ABILITY TO THINK CREATIVELY ET AL BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO BE COMPETITVE;TRY AND BE INNOVATIVE IN WHATEVER AREA OF LIFE YOU FIND YOURSELF AND YOU WILL STAND OUT TALL.LEST, I FORGET WITH THE AVAILABILTY OF INFORMATION BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED(SPECIAL THANKS TO THE DEVELOPERS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND FREE NEWSLETTERS SUCH AS YOURS)THE FUTURE WILL BELONG TO THE ENTREPRENEUR IRRESPECTIVE OF THE JOB;ONE CRUCIAL POINTER TO THIS IS THAT THE MORE PEOPLE ARE AWARE,THE MORE RELAXED THEIR SUBCONCIOUS IS AND THIS (SUBCONSCIOUS) IS THE CRUX OF GREAT IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS.SOME OF THE BARRIERS INCLUDE POVERTY,CIVIL WARS;TRADITION,IMMORAL SENTIMENTS,ETC. ABOVE ALL,PEOPLE SHOULD START RECEIVING ENLIGHTMENT FROM THEIR CHILDHOOD DAYS ON WHAT EACH STRATA OF LIFE REPRESENTS AND HOW TO COPE WITH IT.

Rahat, 24, Bangladesh: Lack of experience is the main barrier that young people face while seeking employment, because most employers prefer a few years of work experience. Young people should look for jobs in their field immediately after graduation in their own country. Jobs in the development sector will be the jobs of the future. Critical analysis skills are needed for young people to be competitive, but the education system in Bangladesh does not impart these skills. The main barriers to attaining these skills are existing social attitudes, which leads to a severe lack of personal motivation.

Deidre, 19, United States: Most young people are too afraid to take risks. I don't mean risks in the since of doing something daring, but even doing exactly what it is they love. Most people have to worry too much about whether or not the job is sensible and if it brings home a huge paycheck. Some young people aren't encouraged that work can be fun, if you dedicate yourself to finding a career that reflects your true interests. Most people only see their career as a "job," as something HAVE to do everyday. I think our education system diminishes the self-starter in all of us. We always sit back and wait on someone to give us an assignment or tell us what to do. I think rekindling the entrepreneurial spirit will allow young people to take the initiative when it comes to the career search. It will be much more exciting because it is something that we have a personal interest in, not because it is what society or someone else tells us we should do.

Chandan, 20, Nepal: Most of the youths usually search for jobs during and after undergraduate education. Lucky youths find jobs in lower and middle level managerial positions. Sadly, though youths have energy, knowledge and competency required for jobs, the finalist tend to be the one close to the recruiting officials in the companies. The BBA and MBA education does provide the skills required for the job market but it is very expensive in Nepal. Decision making and analytic ability, and creativity are the required skills but weak education system and lack of affordable training institutions pose as a barrier to attain these skills.

Ajuna, 24, Uganda: In Low developed countries, education provided to students does not help them in terms of skill development.Like in my situation i graduated with a Bachelor of tourism from Makerere University but all we did at the university was theory work.When i started working with atravel company i had to fisrt undergo training in areas like Galileo system which i had studied on campus but theoratically.Education especially at a higher level has become so expensive yet even the quality of education is not good.Many students like in Uganda now prefer going for post graduate studies abroad.

Zacharia, 26, Tanzania: young people should first wait untill they have pursue their carrie since on the global world it can be done at any opton being through online that's can be distance learnig or otherwise and the quality can't be so differ but depends to the way someone grasp it and transoform to the real world its possible .Africa is perceive alittle problem since life is so tough and we are still adapting the new ways of life hence come difficult to competite like other world at alll life of many family and little education on issue like entreprenuer is not taugh at school that create problem.

Hicham, 27, Morocco: HelloThat s Hicham. I really care about the situation of youth in my country.Most of what Youth need here is hope and just some hardwork. They see the future as gloomy. This is in part due to them themselves as they do not really take time to think what to do the next step. In other part the problem is done by the system.

I got my B.A degree about 4 years ago; and I did not wait the state to provide me w ith a job. I looked for one. Example s of jobs I applied or is a maid. It s not imporatnt what kind of jobs to have; what matters for me is Human dignity. I could not be a maid!

And since I am bestowed with a kind of faith, so I did not lose hope. Not very long, the state announced as in need of teachers in senior high school. That s the first time to have thing like this here. I have becocme a teacher.

But being a teacher in school is not enough, a teacher in life , this is my aim. To spread Hope, Persistence and HardWORK to others are the means. Now am a volunteer in a delinquency center and a member in an association for people with disabilities. I see this as not sufficient. More job needs to be done ...

Peerada, 20, Thailand: What are the primary challenges facing young people seeking to find employment or different forms of livelihood? For rural area in Thailand, yes. Because some job don't need your school knowledge, for example farmer. But thier wages is not high. I you want high wage, you must study in higher level. What are the primary challenges facing young people seeking to find employment or different forms of livelihood? When they leave thier school. In rural area, maybe secondary school but diploma or bachelor degree in urban. What kind of work to get into and where to do that? depend on your studying field. If you have low education, whatever job that you can apply. What barriers do young people face to attain these skills? They have no experience and they find for a chance.

Fredrick, 23, Kenya: A perspective from a young person with disability;

The discrimination forms the biggest challenge given the social exclusion of disabled persons from the society.Most of the disabled youth haven`t accomplished their education due to lack of support hence there is skill deficit required for the job market.

The sociaty has a negative mentality against disabled youth and the highest of the work thought for them is begginng as opposed to a decent form of livelihood.

Young disabled persons should start looking for employment while still in learning institutions,this should be done by requesting for internships in various companies and organizations operating in their countries.

The jobs of the future are in IT sector and Private business,the current system of education is more geared towards white-collar jobs than skill-based.

Lifeskills are of importance for one to be competitive in the labor markets. Young people do not control the learning sytems in their countries.

Levan, 19, Georgia: jobs of the future will be meaning of life.i am fisik and question is why are we living on this earth and people have to think ebaut this.

Olivia, 26, Uganda: Young people would gain so much more knowledge and skill if they were allowed work in different countries for short periods of time as in international internships. There are very stringent policies and laws that restrict movement of labor (especially between less developed and more developed countries) and this is hindering the rise of globalisation; at least socially. Governments should work closely to encourage young people into taking up international internships so as to eventually create an enlightened, exposed and therefore more rounded pool of individuals in their labor force.

Usman, 28, Nigeria: The major challeges young people face today are as follows;lack of availability of industies,lack of government seriousness towards youth empowerment policies,social insecurity,lack of access to equal educational rigth/opprotunities,lack of equal rigth to job opportunities,lack of supportive policies to help identify and develop potentials,etc.

I think young people should start looking for work after their higher education thats is for those who have the motive of education,and should strive to ensure that what ever field of study they read their jobs must reflect towards that aspect of the society.

the job of the future will surelly be based on human development/self awireness prosses. Leadership and interpersonal skills are necessary.The barrier lack of commitment from the leaders them selves to lay a foundation stone for tommorow leaders.

Joan, 29, Uganda: Sharing my experience from Uganda an LDC and with issues of governance, it is my opinion that the current education system and the structures of governance do not prepare young people for life after school. Firstly, the system is such that you have to have a 'tall relative' either in the public or even private sector to get a job. People without such 'relatives' walk the streets for years despite good grades. The education system is currently biased toward 'white collar' jobs and does not prepare the youth to be job creators, but more so job seekers for the few jobs. I have worked in the public service and the exprience was that public servants want to be there forever, the retirement age is not strictly followed and as such creating job opportunities as a result of retirement of the older people is limited. The package offered is also not attractive, but because the options are limited, one is forced to stay on. Career development in the public service is also quite limited, but of late it has began to pick up.

I think young people should be equipped with knowledge and skills that enable them to be job creators. The attitude of everyone dreaming about the limited white collar jobs should be reversed. Most young people are also not exposed to the workings on regional or international organisations either through attachments or internships, and this makes it difficult for them to effectively compete in future for jobs in such organisations as compared to their counterparts in the west. I think that it is important that governments create a conducive atmosphere that attracts young people to look for or create jobs at home. Our nations need our services the most, having spent alot on training us. The job packages should be made attractive, there should be a deliberate policy to recruit fresh graduates into the civil service like i am told in the 1960s and i believe we need a special civil service school for a limited training period, to effectively induct the youth into the service, as this is not really the case ...

my experience was that you have to 'find your way.' Both national and foreign investors should be attracted to invest and employ as a priority nationals of the host country ( MFN and National Treatment obligations not withstanding) for LDCs. I believe young people should start trainships with government bodies, NGOs, private sector, during university holidays, to get a feel of what they are aiming for, so that they make a right choice. Career guidance in secondary schools should be increased and carried on to universities, even if by that stage, students are studying specialised courses, thereby defining their proposed area of work.

Victor, 32, Nigeria: Young people face many challenges as they grow up.Employment or other forms of livelihoods might not be the most critical as the transition - the period between.Young people could generally lack certain opportunities to develop to the fullest all the necessary faculties to promote their search for employment and livelihoods.But where this is possible, stories differ as at one end bitter truths are told and at the other the stories are different. This has make a general conclusion most difficult.Education is the bedrock of all human needs and the lack of it means impoverishment and want.If young people get poor education they are likely not going to be able to fit in to any employment as the work environment would be quite challenging.However, the search for employment raises a number of issues. One of the most pertinent is the preferences one has.Some people who can afford the present high cost of education would say they would work after studies.

Yet the poor ones would take up part time work while they study. This is the divide.But on the overall, work could be sought at the completion of ones higher degree. This means upon completion of first degree, it is possible that one has gain some insight into what the future looks like.But it is still impossible to say what the 'jobs of the future' has in stock. This can be seen by the ways young people switch over from one course to the other in the University especially at the Masters level. It shows the drive generated by the believe that some employment are better than the other and some subject of study could best decide.The present state of education has done its best.But it must cut down on its payments to encourage universal participation or else soon education will become a thing for the rich while the poor youths will become liabilities for the community. What gainful employment one gets is instrinsically dependent upon the effort of the individual to prove his competence.However, it is useful to develop the knowledge of the arts and sciences that are not just needed but competitive in the labour market. One of this fields is development and technology.

This to me is important because, humanity is facing a new period in history and long to be liberated from the scourge of war, environmental degradation etc.In the final analysis, if all of this fail to come to limelight, it is finances and poor family background that is the major cause of the setback. What we need to do is to advocate for more universal education with a means that can easily cater for their requirements.Otherwise, young people would be backward and backwardness is detrimental to development and technology.

Nathalie, 43, Senegal: The primary challenges facing young people seeking to find jobs or different forms of livelihood are poverty-alleviation, improvement of standard of living, health, social conditions, etc.

In the United States, education loans or financial aid are accessible to students, Young people should pursue education to get to a marketable level and be competitive. The World has changed as well as the American marketplace. We face now what we call the "High performance workplace" with diverse cultural background. Government should put in place a solid structure in order to motivate youngsters to stay in school.

Poverty is relative from one side of the world to another. Youngster should try and get good jobs that will use their basic skills. Jobs that will give them opportunities to broaden their technical and communication skills for instance.

I think that the job of the future will be mostly based on technology. Many jobs could be done online from a remote area, hence, massive utilization of technology. Also, the Health sector is developing rapidly because of new diseases and increase in health services utilization. American researchers in general comment on American failure to provide young people with a solid foundation of employability skills. 'For most of young people, the U.S. has a more or less do-it-yourself system for making the transition from school to work.' (Developing Employability Skills by Byrne, Constant, and Moore 1992, p.23). What they learned in school is not always in relation with what they need to know to succeed after leaving school.

Creative thinking and affective traits are good skills but these are in general skills that a person is born with. So, for young people to be competitive and operate independently, they need to develop communication, writing, analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills.

The barriers young people face to attain these skills are related to early school dropouts, lack of accessibility to the work environment due to socioeconomic situations, non-attendance to college level which has increased tremendously during the 90s. 29% of black high-school dropouts between age of 16 and 24 are working at any job.

Lucien, 38, Congo, Democratic Republic: Young people in my countrie seeking to find employement for:
1. support their families
2. become independant
3. The survival only,not to develop the countrie.

In my countrie ,many young people start looking for work after graduate school or University. but many of them actually would worked in the same time with graduate school.It more difficult to do that ,without many risks.

kind of work to get into and where to do that:
1. 35% are in informel work
2. 35 % are in private coorporation
3. 10 % are in Public administration
4. 15 % should become employmer.

Half of young people should go to work at occident.

jobs of future will be:
1.Private initiative with a best partenership in development of agriculture,stock-rearin...
2.the current education system in my countrie his bewildering. sure enough he prepare many workers but not leaders ,not the models manager who can lead many young else.that why many young , love musicians in my countrie.

Young people can develop :
1. Husbandry ,stock-rearing (cow, chiken, live-stock...)
2. micro-projects of development who can created job for other young people .

The barriers are:
1. to set up viability organisatioin ,
2. access to a financement of skills
3. no advisability to show their ability,but they are resourceful.
4. bad current education sytem for preparing young people for gainful employment
5. untapped resources
6. as yet localities or village not have some viability strutures(hospital, school, games ...) kind regards.

Edgar, 44, Guatemala: The work of the future will be related with the survival of the human race: environment protection, the fight against antibiotic resistant bacteria and new epidemics; overpopulation?

L., 65, Botswana: Hi, this is a beautiful questions. In some countries still the white collar work is considered supreme. That has to be changed and in the education system more efforts should be put on skills. Please understand that the educational level worldwide will be and must be higher. That doesn't mean that more white collar jobs be created but the understanding of natural and social phenomena will be more appreciated. You will have a MSc degree, but at the same time out of work. Be prepared to accept work at any level.

On the other hand the appreciation and the salary for any work must be more equilised. No shame to sweep the street and you can make good living of it. Don't overpay the "elite" of people. Don't give them benefits for which they should be able to pay.
