From the way I understand my own way of investment in a country. I saw it like something that we help the country to increase their economy because any country who invest anything in order to support and boost the country source of getting money or generating income is not way of reducing unemployment because investment is different from unemployment it is when your investment or matured is when you will talk of reducing unemployment.
I think freelancing is a also more productive - it brings in foreign currency and it is also helpful in brings work to the beginners without any investment .
Here is our country people invest in government schemes and they trust those as well. So a big deposit and investment is made in those accounts.
