Rising unemployment may lead to a reduction in the supply capacity of the economy. If workers remain unemployed for sustained periods they may lose their skills, thus reducing their human capital. High rates of long-term unemployment in the economy may mean there is a mismatch between those skills that workers possess, and those for which there is demand. Its believed that unemployment in your 20s has a huge effect on living standards for people in their 50s. This includes: increased health risks, Stress or having a healthy or unhealthy diet, and increased risk of marital break-up. The longer the duration of unemployment; the lower the chances of finding fresh employment. Also losing income involuntary has a major impact. Many people have major commitments such as mortgage and credit agreements that fall in real living standards. Other things being equal, the greater the amount of goods and services produced, the greater the labor required for production.

In dealing with the problem of youth unemployment, we deal with the problem of crimes and gangs because the recruits in these gangs and crime syndicates are the large number of idle youths. Prevention of teenage pregnancy can also decrease the unemployment level. Therefore family planning, sex education and positive values and attitude should be taught in schools. Education of our children should not begin at schools but at home. Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller says it is critical for the Government and private sector to work together on finding creative solutions to the problem of unemployment among qualified youth

To solve the problem of unemployment we need to provide a society and a macroeconomic framework that will encourage people to invest in the country. Only through investment and the creation of new businesses will we find it necessary to provide jobs for the vast numbers of persons who are now unemployed.
