CHAPTER ONE
Public administration play an important role in our contemporary Cameroon as to enhance society growth by creating employment development and promote nation building. The Cameroon economy since realizing reunification (British Southern Cameroon merges with La Republique Du Cameroun) in 1961 has undergone fundamental structure changes resulting to structural shift which has not resulted to any significant sustainable economic growth and Development to ensure adequate employment opportunity for her youths.
Akpabio (2005:332) and Gobeu (1995:122) has on their books examine the role of youth in Development as they continue to play persuasive role in nation building. The youth by definition have been regarded as the segment of the population from 18 – 35 years who are attributably active, vibrant, daring and with useful energy. The development of Cameroon state generally from Pre-colonial to positive role in nation building, they constitute the most critical and volatile segment of the same society.
The worsen economic situation Cameroon is the Economic Recession faced by the Biya Regime before the 1990’s and the ongoing Anglophone crisis where it has affected employment rate all over the country and has threatened collective work toward youth development and nation building.
Generally, unemployment, lack of policy framework, general economic hardship among others have thrown the youth in to joblessness. These are agents of social vices and general idleness. As worsening is the condition, it has giving political big-hand to use them as political huggers and general misadventure. Again they have become agent of social conflict with diverse and devastating effects in the nation (this can be seen when the price of fuel increased in 2008 in Cameroon). As their negative and persuasive roles continue to impact on the economy, several strategy of youth empowerment have yield little or no adequate result as their activities have consistently imposed serious threats to social security, truncated economic activities and severe drainage of national income.
Youth unemployment is becoming an increasing problematic issue in many part of the world especially developing societies like Africa and Cameroon in Particular. Cameroon for example, it has become one must serious socio-economic problem confronting the country despite government effort to open training centers like vocational training center, which is LIMBE. The magnitude of this can appreciated if accurate static can prove unemployment rate. Cameroon has a total population of about 20 million (twenty million) with the dominant that constitute the youth which on normal scale should involve in development, should be the users of such 2035 initiative but in our contemporary Cameroon, it is not the case.
Meaning it is not applicable as older generation still occupies vital position in our society like the position of the Cameroon Senate President. Unemployment has become major problem bedeviling the life of youth cause frustration, dejection and dependency on family members and friends who have their own problems to deal with. The high rate of unemployment among youth in Cameroon has contributed the high rate of poverty and insecurity in the country Unemployment is a worldwide issue, which needs to be dealt with. It has actually caused poverty and lack among the young ones.
In recent time, there have been notably adverse socio- economic and political developments in Cameroon. Consequences of youth development and unemployment, particularly, exemplified by increasing military, violent crime, kidnapping, restiveness and political instability. Cameroons’ situation is further compounded with crisis that has crippled businesses and prospect of securing jobs for young people has been shattered. For example, the covid-19 pandemic. According to Adejurla and Tayo-Olajubulu (2000) (63) contended that unemployment has been identify as one of the major causes of social vices, including arm robbery, destruction, prostitution, political thiggery, kidnapping among others. Musari (2007, 299) corroborated this statement by saying that 4.5 million enter the labor market every year without any sustenance. The precarious situation has left the youth in vicious cycle of poverty that erode their self confident and bright future.
For most developing country like Cameroon, government policy makers are increasingly finding it difficult to grapple successfully with unemployment. The high unemployment rate can be blame to lack of adequate provision for job creation in development plan. The ever expansion or expanding educational growth and the desperate university education irrespective of the course and cause contents. As a result, a number of skill acquired from the university appears to dysfunction and prevocational (Okafor, 2011-307).
In Cameroon, no doubt exist that, the youth suffers from unemployment more as compared to other each group in Republic of Cameroon (this explains why the Head of State , President Paul Biya under the ministry of social Affairs has develop three (3) year of plan for the youth. Cameron population over 25 million people with majority of youths are unemployed and therefore susceptible to crimes. Hence, the need to articulate what could be done to salvage the situation is of paramount important. It should be noted that the pace is increasingly expanding because most graduate lack relevant marketable skill. More than half of Cameroons’ population is under 35 years and such statistic one can affirm that the Cameroon population is a youth economy population. Expectedly, today’s youth are set to be experiencing poverty, unemployment, urbanization, lack of capacity and skills needed to mov
This study has tried to establish that youth unemployment is a growing challenge to nation building especially at the Regional Delegation of MINJEC of though it affects the whole Cameroon. Policy to tackle youth unemployment has instead turn to focus on how youth who are unemployed are difference as they end up not contributing to nation building and most of such policies through training program has had much disappointing outcome by putting more difficulty in nation building. Youth unemployment to nation building is a multidimensional program, which need to be addressed at the macro level. Nation building is disturbing due to fall in output, fall in government revenue, increase in crime and inefficiency which is as a result to unemployment, political instability especially within the Anglophone Regions of Cameroon ,increase in social ills like prostitution are all impact of surrounding inadequate role of youth development and nation building
