How will the government solve Unemployment ?

Contract based employment has been around for decades, but it was used mainly for short term employment. However, most countries saw it as a way to lessen the union's grip on employees, so it was eventually brought for many standard jobs. This is ok if you are a good negotiator (something the unions used to do for you) however most of us don't come into that category, whereas the employer hires a trained specialist to handle their side of contract negotiations making them one sided. With short term contracts the company doesn't have to worry about 'unfair dismissal' cases costing them a fortune. Having said that, don't think I'm plugging for a return to unions to control the work force, I'm just stating facts. Here in Thailand many graduates are working as cashiers in supermarkets, which in my opinion is wrong. I wish I knew the answer to the problem, but it's too complicated.

I didn't study economics and/or political science, so I'll just use common sense -- hehe. Perhaps the best way to solve this problem is to invite more foreign investments. That would mean more jobs with perhaps higher pay. At the same time, there is a need for better policies at population control. This is for long-term. The economy will really suffer with too much population and unemployment problems. In some countries, some workers are encouraged to apply for jobs in foreign countries. This will bring in more dollars and would help the economy. I really feel sorry for good college graduates who after studying hard end up without a job, or end up in a job that's not what they studied for.
