The Afghan Ministry of Manpower and Social Workers on Thursday said that efforts were being carried out to reduce the unemployment rate in a problematic country by creating employment opportunities through projects including Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (but).

Deputy Minister of Manpower and Social Affairs Mawdavi Makhdoum Abdul Salam Sadat in a meeting with the ministry director said that “employment opportunities will be made through the project including canal projects but and qush tepe”, Ariana News reported.

Efforts are being carried out to reduce the unemployment rate and create employment opportunities. [I ordered] the ministry director to try honestly to create employment opportunities,” said a ministry statement, according to Ariana News.

This happened after the unemployment rate in the country jumped far after the previous government’s fall and withdrawing foreign troops in August last year.

I am a street vendor, but we face a lack of work; we asked the government to provide employment opportunities,” said Ariana News quoting Muharram, a resident Kabul said.

I am not optimistic, but the government must pay attention to the poor,” said Gullam Mohammad, another Kabul resident.

Afghanistan takeover by the Taliban caused not only the political crisis in the country but also uncertainty in business and unemployment.

The private sector is “hard hit” because the business is stopped and put into uncertainty, according to the latest survey conducted by the World Bank, reported Khaama Press.

Because of lack of sales, private companies have placed more than half of their average employees, increasing concerns about the unemployment rate in this country.
