The problem [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is considered the most prominent challenge of the new Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, as all figures confirm that it is expanding, and with it the poverty index is rising in an oil-rich country, as part of a linked chain that has been exhausting Mesopotamia for nearly twenty years after the American invasion of the country.
The number of university graduates who have not been able to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is increasing , due to the lack of a real vision for the Iraqi state, in addition to the security, political and economic instability. The protests of unemployed youth continue in many Iraqi governorates, leading to the closure of state institutions and the headquarters of oil companies in southern Iraq, despite Al-Sudani's pledge to work to reduce unemployment and poverty in the country.
Ali Al-Khazali, from Dhi Qar Governorate, said that Al-Sudani's government is no different from its predecessors in terms of promises and programs, and media statements cannot be trusted unless there is actual implementation and application on the ground. Al-Khazali told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that young people followed all legal and constitutional means in order to obtain a job after years of arduous study in universities, but the Iraqi government ignores the demands of the unemployed and increases their suffering through the economic laws that have been approved, including changing the price of The exchange of the dollar, which led to a rise in commodity prices in the market.
Al-Khazali added that the increase in foreign employment, the delay in approving the federal budget, the control of the parties over employment decisions, and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] are all factors that have greatly exacerbated the suffering of Iraqi youth.
Al-Khazali criticized the government's role in not finding real solutions to address the problem of unemployment, in addition to its inability to alleviate the suffering of the Iraqi citizen, stressing the continuation of the protest and escalation until work is done to address the economic problems, reduce the problem of unemployment, and work to provide job opportunities.

And the Iraqi Ministry of Planning announced recently that the unemployment rate in Iraq amounted to 16.5 percent, according to the survey carried out by the Central Statistical Organization, in cooperation with the International Labor Organization, out of the total economically active population.
The ministry's spokesman, Abdul-Zahra al-Hindawi, said that this percentage is higher for women by more than 25 percent compared to males, which ranges between 11 to 12 percent, attributing the reason for recording this percentage to "well-known social conditions in Iraq."
He pointed out that his ministry is working to support and empower the private sector, to be able to achieve partnership with the government sector, to provide job opportunities, as well as to restart lagging economic projects that can provide job opportunities that contribute to achieving a reduction in the unemployment rate.
For his part, Abdullah al-Obaidi, a researcher in economic affairs, said that scientific studies have confirmed that the unemployment rate in Iraq reaches more than 40 percent, and that the Iraqi government is trying to reduce this percentage in order to cover up its failure to address this problem.
Al-Obaidi added, to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, that the Iraqi government's attempt to open up to government employment is a patchwork solution that contributes to exacerbating the problem of sluggish employment, while Iraq needs a developmental labor market that can provide full opportunities to reduce the problem of unemployment.

Al-Obaidi pointed out that what causes concern and anger is the government's neglect of the rising unemployment rates, which he described as a "time bomb" that angers a large segment of Iraqi society, especially with the high population growth rate and the huge numbers of graduates annually that are constantly added to an entire army of unemployed. the work.
In turn, the economist, Nabil Al-Marsoumi, stressed that the issue of high unemployment rates in Iraq to large levels is complex, and requires a great national effort, as the unemployment rate has reached more than 35 percent of the percentage of young people in Iraq. Al-Marsoumi pointed out, in his interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the importance of the Iraqi state’s intervention and the activation of the laws that were voted on by the House of Representatives in 2018, which stipulate the establishment of medium-sized projects to reduce the rise in unemployment.
He explained that there is a significant impact on unemployment rates due to the lack of a budget so far, indicating that including the treatment of unemployment within the next budget may address a small percentage of the growing unemployment in Iraq. Al-Marsoumi added that addressing unemployment in Iraq will only take place through diversifying the Iraqi economy, defining commodity and service production activities, through the development of new activities that create job opportunities and employ youth, stressing that it is not possible to continue with the prevailing patchwork solutions and treatments.
He pointed out that population growth is increasing annually by one million people, while official statistics indicate that more than half a million people enter the labor market, which requires real efforts and comprehensive studies to advance the Iraqi economic reality and reduce the problem of accumulated unemployment.
