The effects of unemployment in society
Unemployment is a big issue in our society at the time being. It has many effects in the
whole economy, not just in those who are unfortunate to be jobless. Moreover,
unemployment affects many other fields in the society. To be clearer, some major effects
will be analyzed in details.

First and foremost, unemployment makes the society unbalanced. Many people who are
out of work must experience a hard life which is in contrast with people whose job is
stable and get high income. This creates a big gap between the life standard of the poor
and the rich. There exist many problems in the way of developing economy equally
because the society can not make an advantage of labor force to produce goods for
human beings’ life.

Additionally, unemployment might increase the rate of social evils. Many people can
not satisfy with their low-standard material life. However, they can not apply any job to
have more extra income. Consequently, some will think of negative activities such as
stealing or robbing others’ property. Moreover, some people find the life so negative and
they will destroy their life with opium or even do some bad careers to last their life as
long as possible such as serving people’s need of sexual demand. As it is just analyzed,
the society has to put up with lots of bad impacts.

Apart from those, unemployment also has bad influences on educational system. As it
is known that education is always the leading policy of each country. However, when the
volume of jobless people in society is so big that they are unable to provide their children
with tuition to go to school, the civilization of human beings will be in slow
development. Those who have no condition for their study can not have a good job or
they will encounter difficulties in their work. Thus, the effectiveness of production will

be decreased. This leads to the society’s disorders about the distribution of labor force.

Last but not least, if the number of jobless people is too numerous, the quality of health
care will be extremely affected. People who have no ability to put them in a good
condition of health care will have to suffer many dangerous and fatal diseases.
Especially, people get infectious diseases if having no financial condition to have a
treatment, the disease will be expanded around the country and even all over the world.
Therefore, man will have to face up with many dangers in their life.
All things considered, unemployment in our society has many effects in every field of
the life. It is caused by many factors in economic system. In general, all effects are bad
aftermath, thus, the government needs to have suitable policy and managements for the
social development. Our society will be in prosperous and durable development if the
economy is stable and the unemployment is limited in maximum.
