Bangladesh is one of the developing countries of south Asia. There are 1.4 billion people live in Bangladesh. More than 45 millions are youth. In some area 40% of youth live under poverty line. One of the major barier to eradicate poverty here is unemplyment. 70 % young people of Bangladesh live in village area. The structure of each family is 5-9 members and these members are depending on 1-2 earning member. When these 1-2 members become unemployed; whole family suffer for it.
Youth is the driving force in any society, if we can provide them proper education, training and a good working environment. It is not a denying fact that our youth generation is passing a frustrating time. They are getting deeply involved day by day in more and more various social crimes. In many cases young voice and initiatives are ignored by the Political leaders, Stakeholders and policymakers. Internet is opportunity to learn internationally also nationally. But it’s trouble some digital dividend is big barrier for young people of developing country. Policy makers and Business people are still not caring this matter. Our youth have chance to be integrate ICT in areas of MDGs, agriculture, peace, health, education, quality of life, human rights, employment, non agricultural activities, entertainment, conflicts, trade, disaster management, migration, environment, awareness, capacity building etc. To be more involve with national and international process ICT is a great tools. Situation demands new types of leadership called e-Leadership.
Many youth of the world earn less than $1 day or unemployed. They always are looking jobs to survive for live in this world. On the other hand there are lots of development crisis, like health, energy, education etc. If we can engage young people in development area twin problem will be solve.
It is an accepted fact that sustainable development is most successful when change comes from within a community itself— not from outsiders. Unfortunately, when it comes to development, young leaders at all levels— local, national, regional, and international— are too often marginalized and left out of important interventions. To eradicate young unemployment as well as global poverty; I believe-world should more sincere about youth initiatives and voices.
