Things has really changed unlike before when a graduate is coming out from the university their are job opportunities around the corners, people don't even stress themselves to acquire skills as an alternative just in case they don't get a job. Getting a job as a graduate some years back was a thing never to argue about or think about. In this recent time things have really changed, expecting so much from the government as a graduate can lead people into serious problems. The life we live now is so unpredictable, no one can be sure of practicing their desired career from what they have learnt in school.
I think if people really want to be happy in life, expecially undergraduates and young graduate they should learn not to give all expectations of having living job from the government. If people create the mindset of being creative and productive in this era they will live a more happy life than putting all expectations of getting a dream job from the government. A productive mindset is what young people needs to make life easy and worth living.
You literally misunderstand that young people directly depend on the government for jobs. It's not completely true that it's the government's responsibility to create employment opportunities for their people, even if it's not a government job, but through development and investment. If a country has no employment opportunities, then it's stagnant with its income as well. And also remember that this is the era we live in where 'quite quitting', 'great resignation' etc., so people are looking for jobs but prioritize their mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing more than a job. That means a 9-to-5 job is not ideal anymore. People are ready to quit and put their potential into another one. I believe we need to rethink the current work environment and create more friendly norms.
