The West Bank's Youth Unemployment Crisis
Only enough jobs exist for about half of the students who graduate university in the occupied West Bank. Many young Palestinians face unemployment after completing their education. Despite limited job availability, Palestinians continue finishing school. Graduations are still marked with celebration. The situation places the burden of youth unemployment on the generation entering the workforce. The contrast between educational achievement and scarce employment shapes the experience of young people in the West Bank.
