ABSTRACT Unemployment continues to be a social problem confronting numerous countries worldwide. In Lesotho, poverty and unemployment are rife in rural areas. This study sought to establish the profile of unemployed people, their challenges and how they cope with unemployment. This was a quantitative study with a sample size of 120 unemployed people drawn from Manonyane rural area in the Maseru district of Lesotho. Data were gleaned utilizing questionnaires and the data analysis was done using Microsoft Excel. This study was anchored on Amartya Sen's Capability Approach, which is suitable for the assessment of individual well-being and social arrangements. The study unearthed that most of the unemployed were young adults averaging 33 years of age and they faced numerous challenges which revolved around lack of money, limited capabilities and few functionings. Since 2010, none of the respondents reported that their level of poverty had decreased and again none reported that the level of poverty in their village had decreased. The majority of the respondents (52, 42.5%) rated themselves as poor while 42 (35%) saw themselves as very poor. This study holds that without the concerted efforts of various stakeholders, the challenges confronting the unemployed will get worse. It is envisaged that the findings will be a stepping stone for policy makers, government ministries, non-governmental organizations and philanthropists in their quest to address the needs of the unemployed people in this community. The study also proffers suggestions to Lesotho policy makers.

莱索托失业者面临的挑战:以Manonyane农村社区为例

摘要失业仍然是世界上许多国家面临的社会问题。在莱索托,农村地区普遍存在贫困和失业问题。本研究旨在确定失业人员的概况、他们面临的挑战以及他们如何应对失业。这是一项定量研究,样本量为 120 名来自莱索托马塞卢区 Manonyane 农村地区的失业人员。使用问卷收集数据,并使用 Microsoft Excel 进行数据分析。本研究以 Amartya Sen 的能力方法为基础,该方法适用于评估个人福祉和社会安排。研究发现,大多数失业者是平均年龄 33 岁的年轻人,他们面临着许多围绕缺钱的挑战,有限的能力和很少的功能。自 2010 年以来,没有一个受访者表示他们的贫困程度有所下降,也没有人表示他们村里的贫困程度有所下降。大多数受访者 (52, 42.5%) 认为自己很穷,而 42 (35%) 认为自己很穷。本研究认为,如果没有各利益相关方的共同努力,失业者面临的挑战将更加严重。预计调查结果将成为决策者、政府部门、非政府组织和慈善家寻求解决该社区失业人员需求的垫脚石。该研究还向莱索托的决策者提供了建议。没有一个答复者报告说他们的贫困程度有所下降,也没有人报告说他们村里的贫困程度有所下降。大多数受访者 (52, 42.5%) 认为自己很穷,而 42 (35%) 认为自己很穷。本研究认为,如果没有各利益相关方的共同努力,失业者面临的挑战将更加严重。预计调查结果将成为决策者、政府部门、非政府组织和慈善家寻求解决该社区失业人员需求的垫脚石。该研究还向莱索托的决策者提供了建议。没有一个答复者报告说他们的贫困程度有所下降,也没有人报告说他们村里的贫困程度有所下降。大多数受访者 (52, 42.5%) 认为自己很穷,而 42 (35%) 认为自己很穷。本研究认为,如果没有各利益相关方的共同努力,失业者面临的挑战将更加严重。预计调查结果将成为决策者、政府部门、非政府组织和慈善家寻求解决该社区失业人员需求的垫脚石。该研究还向莱索托的决策者提供了建议。5%) 认为自己很差,而 42 (35%) 认为自己很差。本研究认为,如果没有各利益相关方的共同努力,失业者面临的挑战将更加严重。预计调查结果将成为决策者、政府部门、非政府组织和慈善家寻求解决该社区失业人员需求的垫脚石。该研究还向莱索托的决策者提供了建议。5%) 认为自己很差,而 42 (35%) 认为自己很差。本研究认为,如果没有各利益相关方的共同努力,失业者面临的挑战将更加严重。预计调查结果将成为决策者、政府部门、非政府组织和慈善家寻求解决该社区失业人员需求的垫脚石。该研究还向莱索托的决策者提供了建议。非政府组织和慈善家寻求解决该社区失业人员的需求。该研究还向莱索托的决策者提供了建议。非政府组织和慈善家寻求解决该社区失业人员的需求。该研究还向莱索托的决策者提供了建议。
