Unemployment is on the rise, and it has been a course to many problems in the society. Some people argue that offering people with mobile phones that access internet will help reduce the risk associated with unemployment. Well, they argument is valid for some extent. Mobile phone with internet can help people connect with employers. However, it does reduce unemployment completely. In my own opinion, this is wastage of public fund. In this essay, we are going to discuss why giving mobile phones to jobless people is not a better solution to fighting unemployment.

To begin with, education is the best way to do away with unemployment. The main cause to the increase in unemployment rates in illiteracy. People lack the basic education and specialized skills that the employers are looking for while selecting their employees. This has led to employers giving one employee a double role simply because there are few people who can perform a similar task.

Secondly, [public money] should be used in helping unemployed people further their education and open private business. Public money should be given as loan to young and innovative citizen. This is a form of job creation. Helping unemployed people improve their skills and increase their value in the job market is better than buying mobile phone to a million jobless people in the country. In addition, offering handsets will only reduce the level of productivity in the country since many of them will be reluctant in increasing the knowledge and motivation to get the job. Public money should be used in ensuring people do not go hungry and the nation health and security it at the best standards. Finally, public money should be channeled in projects aimed towards creating public jobs. This is the best way to deal with unemployment since many of jobless people are looking for jobs that can pay them well and be able to buy their own cell phones. references
