Work is an essential part of life. Not only does it allow you to earn your livelihood, but it is also part of what gives meaning to life. That is why unemployment is such a serious problem in the world. In developed countries, even a .1% rise in unemployment causes leaders to squirm. A big part of the reason why Donald Trump’s toxic rhetoric was popular in America was that he promised more jobs for his followers. In Kenya today, approximately 22% of youths are not engaged in gainful work. That is a huge waste of human resources not just for the government but for the country as a whole. There is a saying that ‘to make money, you just need to solve a problem for someone.’ If this really is the case, then Africa – with problems in every sector – must be the richest continent in the world. Work is now synonymous with money.
