Brutal jobs landscape forces college graduates into menial work

Unemployment among young people in Aden has risen at an alarming rate due to the ongoing war in Yemen; obtaining a university degree is no longer an advantage for having a decent job. Grarduate Abdo Naji Qassem told A24 that instead of finding meaningful work after university he is selling eggs and potatoes on the streets of Aden. This led many to work in jobs different from their majors at low wages to make money, which created a gap between the outputs of universities and the needs of the labor market and led to frustration among young people that many decided not to pursue their degrees.
