Proposed budget fails to provide hope or solutions for unemployed youth

The Awami League's 2009 promise of household employment remains unfulfilled amid Bangladesh's rising unemployment, worsened by corruption and inadequate budget allocations for education and health. This crisis burdens educated youth, pushing many to accept low-wage jobs or seek risky opportunities abroad. Mental health issues among students underscore the disconnect between education and employment sectors. Urgent action is needed to create jobs, combat corruption, and support job seekers for the nation's future prosperity.
