The discourse regarding the sharp increase in youth unemployment has been reinitiated by social media.

A variety of social media users believe that the current economic crisis has made youth unemployment worse.

Some internet users contend that youth unemployment is caused by laziness.

Others, on the other hand, assert that young people have a window of opportunity in farming that they should take advantage of, but they fail to do so.

Bridget Otoo, a broadcast journalist, criticized people who label young people as lazy because they don't seem to be involved in farming in a series of tweets seen by GhanaWeb.

According to the presenter, farming is expensive, making it difficult for young people to undertake.

“Farming is expensive. Let’s be honest, it is even beginning to look like the rich people are the ones doing the farming,” she stated

“People talk about farming as if they are giving out free lands, paying for labour and the youth are refusing to do it. Even me, my dad gave me farmlands, we’ve not been able to find money to put it to use. Not having money is not equal to being lazy”, she explained.
