THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS AFFECTING THE YOUTH OF THE 21ST CENTURY 
  
 Abstract: The problem of unemployment is the biggest problem that afflicts the youth of Uzbekistan. About 700,000 young people are unemployed in Uzbekistan. This is 14.9 percent of all young people of Uzbekistan. This article also covers unemployment, which is one of the biggest problems that plagues young people in the 21st century. 

 Key words: Unemployment, research, jobs, economy, resources.  

 Employment of the population is an important factor in economic development and development of human potential. Ensuring employment of the population is a necessary condition for its reproduction. Because people's standard of living, the selection, training, retraining of personnel for economic sectors and branches, and their qualification improvement, employment, material and psychological support of the unemployed depend on the employment of the population. Therefore, the research of socio-economic and organizational aspects of ensuring the employment of the population is of special importance as a socio-economic problem of today. 

 Studies show that about 90% of the unemployed in the labor market feel the need for assistance in finding a decent job. Decent jobs are socially and economically desirable jobs that are interesting and affordable to workers. In order to have a decent job, the labor force must be more competitive in the labor market. As a result of the rational organization and modernization of production or management in the organization, there is a shortage of personnel. Internal labor market by timely change of workplace, retraining, suspension of admission to vacant positions, application of socially oriented selection to layoffs, reduction of personnel or planning of admission requires regulation. 

 Providing employment to the population is one of the most important aspects of human social development, and it reveals the ways to meet the problems related to labor issues and the supply and demand for labor. Employment is a socio-economic relationship in which people engage in socially beneficial work, regardless of where they work. The employment relationship is a socio-economic indicator that shows how many and to what extent able-bodied people participate in socially useful work. 

 The employment category of the population is not limited to only economic components. Employment is primarily a social relationship. Therefore, sociality as an eternal, directly occurring phenomenon is its main feature. 

 Since employment appears as a socio-economic phenomenon, it can be described as follows. Employment is an activity related to the satisfaction of personal and social needs of citizens, which does not conflict with legal documents, and which brings them salary or income.

Harmful habits that damage the mind

Today, as every field is becoming more perfect, harmful habits are also increasing. At the same time, the only thing that is required from humanity is awareness, vigilance, and at the same time, not obeying the ego.

As the other side of the coin, as new technologies are created, various flaws and dangers are increasing. Accordingly, efforts are being made to ensure security.

Nowadays digital technologies are the most developing field. For example, we can receive and transmit information on a global scale through social networks. We can make different friends, have multiple online achievements, communicate with loved ones from a distance through lighting-fast communication, in this regard, earn money from home through various business methods, and gain a profession through useful sites and applications. 

We can find useful aspects. But despite this, various fake clone sites, programs, dangerous streaming channels, hackers are poisoning people's brains and forcing them to band their heads against the wall. 

If we give an example, the above situations cannot be avoided by every person. In this case, a person should not be a slave to ego, he should be careful. At the same time, people suffered a lot, some managed to get out of this way, and some did not. 

Those who have received appropriate training are working to ensure security and raise awareness to fight against these factors.

That's why people are advised to always use social networks wisely, check their legitimacy, and not lose security. When this is followed, I think you will have a peaceful and enjoyable life.

Poetry from Jonibek Miraxmedov

CHANGING LIFE

Why our everyday is the same
It is not a blame.
It is not even gratitude
It is a desire to be improved.

Why to go to work everyday
Why to live for only salary
Why to be only in normality
Can’t we change our way?

It is zeal to improve gradually
This way will work effectively
We will be factors for ourselves
For being people succeeded perfectly.


BIRTHPLACE

In the sky, there is a white cloud
As calling you, I enunciate loud
I’ll be devoted, I could
Uzbekistan, you are my proud.

People are conscientious, genius
Fertile soils, gardens-gorgeous
All crops are, there, delicious
You have a history glorious.

Invariably, we are hilarious
Even, in period of Coronavirus
Because of your inspiration
Teenagers are inclined, vivacious!

There are incredible countries, in the world
They are said “Frabjous” in other word
Anyway, I can say that is right
Uzbekistan, you are my pride!


ADOLESCENCE

In the life, the unforgettable period is adolescence
All know that is right, from own sense
Everybody says from experience
Childhood is the best remembrance.

Ask from any oldster
“Which period do you prefer?”
They respond without hesitation
Adolescence will be the best “Option”

Adolescence is full with pleasure
I would say that “YES” for sure
If it hadn’t been rapture
People, passed from childhood would be nutter.

Briefly, do not squander childhood
Otherwise, you will be regretted
When you are oldster
Completely, you will be missed.


LOVING HER

The beauty I’ve seen ever
I will forget her, never
I didn’t feel any bother
I wanna be with her forever.

I feel her hands every night
For her, I won’t turn back from fright
I imagine being with her at sight
it’s my estimated destiny-bright.

I know nothing is impossible
In this life, everything is enforceable
What I want is reasonable
I realize I am capable.

Essay from Nigora Tursunboyeva

Teen Central Asian girl in a coat with buttons, a scarf, long dark hair, a skirt, and boots. She's outside at night in front of a concrete fountain and a variety of restaurants.

A spirit in chains

The first day of winter… This cruel season came very early and cold this year. This could be known from the fact that people changed into warm clothes in the fall, put their hands in their pockets so that they wouldn’t get cold, and even though they tried to cover their faces with scarves, their noses turned red as if someone had pinched them. Everyone hurried to their warm house, but it was surprising that Hosiyat was selling bread near the schoolyard in such a cold weather. Usually, at this time, her friends would stay for extra training after the lesson. Hosiyat was also with them. However, these 2 months completely changed Hosiyat. She was not as cheerful as before, there was no joy on his face. All kinds of rumors spread in the school. Someone said that she had a mental illness, and someone said that her house burned down and that she needed money. But who is telling the truth is unlikely.

Sometimes, her classmates used to call her “Ms. bread” during class to make fun of her. Looking at this girl with a radiant face, it would not even cross her mind that she was a girl who used to be extravagantly dressed, stood out from her peers, and was difficult to find a match for. She had changed so much that comparing the Hosiyat 2 months ago with the current Hosiyat, one could feel the difference between the earth and the sky. Why did it happen? Can this little opportunity have such an impact on a person? It’s as if she’s on someone’s trail… She looks like Hosiyat, but in reality she’s like another girl. Time has passed since then. The sun and the moon took turns guarding. It has been 4 months since Hosiyat started selling bread. But until now, no one has seen a smile on her face. The lesson is over. Hosiyat’s best friend Bashorat asked her to stay. It is no exaggeration to say that Hosiyat was one of the best students of the 8th grade. However, now her studies have dropped, and it was not known whether she was in class or not. Now Hosiyat and Bashorat are sitting together. The prophecy did not know how to ask, the thought did not leave her that what she heard was true.

Finally she asked:

– Friend, Hosiyat, why are you so upset? You never did that before. What happened? Trust me, I won’t tell anyone.

Hosiyat was about to cry. With her eyes fixed on one point:

– What can I do? If I don’t change, who will change? I know, I know everything. What they say about me, what nicknames they gave me. But I am not silent. Do you know why?! Because it is better for me to suffer from mental illness and for our house to burn down than to lose my mother. After 1 week, dad is better than stepmom. are you listening I say better. Better!!!

Hosiyat was crying inside. Until now, she couldn’t laugh, and she couldn’t cry either. She just seemed numb before. Bashorat, who heard these words, could not help herself. Unknowingly, 1-2 years rolled down her face like a necklace. She thought about what to comfort her.

Bashorat thought that Hosiyat was left without a mother very early, that all stepmothers are bad, and that they torture their stepchildren.

That’s why Hosiyat sold bread in the cold. So, her stepmother forced her.

Hosiyat could barely contain herself. Until now, she never thought that she might lose her parents. They say that 15 days of the month are light and 15 days are dark. It turned out that now there are dark days in Hosiyat.

– Well, don’t cry, friend. It happens to everyone. God, may her place be in paradise. If you want, come to our house, my family will be happy.

Hosiyat wanted to answer at that moment, but something bitter got stuck in her throat.

It has been more than 20 days since this incident happened. I think Hosiyat’s life 20 days ago was much better than now. Because now Hosiyat is not studying at school. The money Hosiyat brought home was never enough for his stepmother.  Rumors spread that he was secretly saving some to escape, fueling his stepmother’s anger. She berated his father, ultimately convincing him to abandon Hosiyat at the orphanage. In some ways, her situation is better now than when she lived with her stepmother.

However, Hosiyat was completely cut off from this world. Only black clouds were drunkenly rioting in her sky. Her mother’s sudden death, the sufferings of her stepmother, the teasing of her classmates, the fact that she sold bread in the freezing cold, and even the fact that her own father abandoned her because she was a missing wife, flashed before her eyes like a movie.  She is afraid to watch this movie, he doesn’t have the courage, but no matter what she does, her soul is chained, no matter how hard she tries, she is doomed. Her only handful of crying pillows comforted her every night by stroking her head.

Essay from Sonmin Yoongi

Three Central Asian young women's heads in the photo, two with headscarves and the other without. They're in a shawl, a blouse and best, and a striped shirt.
A person's life is completely ruined! His thoughts are confused, but his heart is comforted, knowing that his Lord will never leave him. Yes, Allah gives trials in this life only to His beloved servant. Therefore, in order not to fail in such tests, on the contrary, you should prepare yourself mentally and physically for these tests.

Choose the best for you when you walk among people! And stop using people for your purpose. Build good relationships with people! Be a little sincere, do not look for fault! And don't leave your loved ones halfway! Never do that, learn to treat them with what works for you and whatever you have or know. Everything you share is written into God's plan. How do you know that the bread you give or the knowledge you teach someone will get you to heaven? Be happy when you see people around you!

Poetry from Akmalova Zebokhan Akobirkhan

Central Asian teen girl with a serious face resting her head on her hand. She's got a black headscarf and a gray jacket and is in a classroom.
My lovely dear
I love you every moment 
I have with you and your lovely 
The only time you can do 

The right way to get to me 
I’m not going anywhere 
The left one I don’t want 
The left one I’m going somewhere 

The right one I don’t know 
What is it about the one 
Where the right is the left
The only one that how to get

Village of Navos

During my three month vacation,
I went to my village.
Sweet - sweet apple,
I ate my fill.

A heart-warming song,
The air is burning.
Apricots, cherries, apples,
A sweet moan.

And the chirping of birds,
There are few bad people.
Many good intentions,
Children always say "hope".

Ilhomova Mohichehra is a student of the 7th grade of the 9th general secondary school of Zarafshan city, Navoi region.
