Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Youth unemployment is a significant challenge in Tanzania, contributing to poverty and social unrest. Many young people, despite completing their education, struggle to find stable employment due to a lack of skills that match market demands. The economy heavily relies on agriculture, which employs a large portion of the population, but this sector often offers low-paying and unstable jobs. Additionally, the rapid population growth outpaces job creation, exacerbating the unemployment crisis. The government has introduced initiatives like the National Employment Policy to address this issue, but implementation challenges, such as limited funding and inadequate training programs, hinder progress. Furthermore, the informal sector, where many youths work, lacks regulation and social protection, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation.

(b) Identify two causes of youth unemployment mentioned in the passage. 1 mk
(c) What is the author’s attitude toward the issue of youth unemployment? 1 mk
