**Problems resulting from unemployment **

media type="custom" key="9098110" align="right"As previously mentioned, there are a number of issues relating to persons who have been unemployed for a long time. Statistics shows that a 16-year-old who leave school costs society over £ 100 000, and in the worst cases cost over £ 300 000 throughout their lives.

Depression, psychological problems, drug abuse, crime, spontaneous abortions, poor economy, weight problems, alcohol abuse, poor health and social problems are just some of the issues relating to people who for a long time has been without regular employment.

In Britain, only 75% of young people under 18-year-of-age finish high school. Low school attendance among young people may partly lead to poor self-esteem. It has been shown that girl’s get children at a very young age just to feel loved and to be benefit to someone. The reality may later prove to be something completely different than what the girls had expected it to be, when isolation and poverty can be the consequences of their choices.

In black communities in Britain there has been grown up a culture where young men has no knowledge of what the responsibility of being a father is, they are popularly named as a "baby father". They believe that as long as they help with money, they can have as many children as they want. The families of these young men often support them in the <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">decision to have a child without taking the consequences of their actions.

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">Crime often perpetrated by people who are unemployed. The reason is that they have a poor <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">economy and steal to live a better life. Sales of drugs are also often represented by people <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">who are unemployed, where the consequences may be that they get long prison sentences. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">Prison sentences alone usually provide no lasting solution to the problem. Many young <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">people gain criminals, recruited by the older and more experienced inmates to do far more <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">serious crimes when they were released. Prison sentences for young people is therefore <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">not a good solution.[3]
