Unemployment: It is the state where the number of people goes with no source of income. It renders them o remain idle. The idleness makes people look for other means of making themselves busy. It is known that the rate of people with no jobs in UAE lie mostly with the youths. The youths remain vulnerable. It is because of dropping school at an early age. It as well affect youths who have completed college and have not secured employment.

Most importantly, joblessness ambushes the minds of youthful natives who have been informed that instruction is the pathway to a more prosperous life just to find that their degrees are no antitoxin to a somber employment market.

Drug abuse: It is a situation where young people get into substances that make them vulnerable to addiction and loss of control.

If such a rate is so enormous, the nation is going to suffer in the long run since the youths at the pillars of tomorrow.
Question F
Strategies to Solve the Social Problems
Individual strategy
In order to deal with such issues on a personal level, I think that the most appropriate strategy is to be creative. It goes a long way in creating employment for oneself since one can create an idea and come up with it to realization in business hence earning. On the side of divorec, the best solution is not to enter into marriage prematurely when one is not ready. The right time is when ready and prepared. On the side of the married, the solution is to persevere and remain positive to the challenges of marriage.The best solution of drug abuse is to avoid engaging in unnecessary substances as they spoil the health.
The UAE government strategy
The UAE government should put in measures that can curb unemployment. Job creation must be top in the agenda of the government. Divorce cases must be minimized by not permitting young people to marry when not ready and penalty have to be imposed on youths engaging in marriages early.
Community strategy
The society at large must wake up and solve the challenge by creating jobs for the youths so that the large number of the unemployed youths. The society ought to solve divorce cases by teaching young couples to handle marriage seriously and stand up for every challenge. Adult couples must act as role models for the young couples and teach them to follow on the steps to successful marriage. The society must discourage youths to get out od drugs through social gatherings, campaigns through door to door and teach them ways of living positively in life irrespective of the many huddles.
Institution strategy
The institution I work for can stand to the challenges of social issues in the society through corporate social responsibility. It is where the organization organizes events with the people of the society. The events have certain issues to address and encourage the society of living positively in the society through avoiding unacceptable vices among the people.

Marriage is in trouble when there is not proper communication between the couples. Communication remains the key asset in solving all issues that might arise in marriage. People in many instances never allow communication to take the driving stage in marriage and this create a lot of issues and in the end divorce.
When there are problems in marriage the couples need to talk to a counselor. The counselor will give them advices on marriage and the two will get assistance and probably come out of the problem.
Marriage is broken when there is no mutual agreement in many issues of the family. The first is infidelity. It is when one of the couples is cheating on the other one. The second is failure of the husband to provide for the family leaving the wife culpable of getting all work done. The issue stresses the wife until he opts for divorce.

Life after divorce is awkward. I call it awkward because one will no longer have a home, a place to confide in incase of comfort and solitude. When the two were in close consolation, one will live a life full of desperation and losses as one will need to start from scratch again.
A divorced man is a loneliness man, even though men as most cruel and heartless when it comes to cases in the family owing to violation of simple marriage rules, they are prone to loneliness. The man will not last long in loneliness and will get to marry again.
A divorced woman as well suffers loneliness. However, the woman is the most since woman never creates problems in the family. As a matter of fact, women try all possible means the salvage marriage for the sake for the children.
