    Nowadays, the opinion that unemployment is the biggest obstacle to school-leavers has been a common notion in many countries. However, I do not agree with this assessment as I believe that young people today face even bigger challenges than unemployment.

    The unemployment rate among youngsters who have recently finished school is a major concern in many countries. In my view, finding the first job is a herculean task, and the most challenging perhaps, for such youngsters just after their school graduation.
