A number of young people in the capital are complaining about increasing unemployment.
They say that despite having educational degrees, there are no job opportunities available for them.
Shahzad, a 25-year-old who graduated from Kabul University's Faculty of Journalism in Public Relations, says he has turned to selling clothes due to the lack of jobs in his field, but his dream is to find a job in his profession.
Shahzad, a resident of Kabul, told TOLOnews, "Currently, my dream is to secure a better and suitable job in my field, like others who have studied and achieved their dreams."
Rafiuallah is another youth who sells vegetables on the streets of Kabul due to economic challenges. He is asking the Islamic Emirate to facilitate job opportunities for them.
He said, "The government should facilitate work; projects should open up so people can work. We have no other demands, thanks be to peace."
Moreover, Mohammad Younus Rashid, the Deputy Minister of Youth Affairs at the Ministry of Information and Culture, in a meeting with the Deputy of the World Food Programme in Afghanistan, announced the development of a solution to address the unemployment challenges of young people.
Rashid has asked the Deputy of the World Food Programme to introduce an online work program in technical centers.
The Deputy Minister of Youth Affairs at the Ministry of Information and Culture said, "WFP should also provide job opportunities for educated young people alongside those who are uneducated, as educated youths are facing unemployment and challenges."
Meanwhile, the World Food Programme has announced a reduction in its aid in Afghanistan, stating that this agency will be able to assist 5.2 million dollars people in May, but after that, the aid will decrease to four hundred thousand people.
This occurs while unemployment and poverty have forced the country's citizens to rely more on humanitarian aid.
