L? L distresses? future.
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Close D? a thousand D? students, in this day of academic re-entry, in this lecture theater of L? university of Yaounde which seems too narrow to contain all their ambition and all their enthusiasm. It makes nearly forty degree with L? shade, and are it piled up the ones on the others, playing of the elbows to be made place, like so here the true luxury C? is L? space. Does the professor have evil to be made hear, the microphone being except service since glosses, his voice tired N? manages more to collect L? attention of this small China which faces him. Troublion, the public L? observes and sends words to him assassinate which, accustomed, not L? air of L? to affect. C? is in a this incongruous way that L? one exempts the courses in the majority of the public schools higher than Cameroun. Many student young people start this course of the combatant knowing qu already? they will have all little chance to make career in their country. In search D? a better future, they give all in L? hope to make parties one day in their turn of L? impeccable elite which is bronzed with the monetary sun. But they know it, reality is relentless, more than 34 percent of the young people in sub-Saharan Africa are unemployeds according to a report/ratio of the International Labour Office (the ILO) of 2006 on L? employment of the young people in the world, which means qu? there is little chance qu? they can after L? obtaining their diploma to find a work decent. Is the under-employment of the young people a major concern in L? development of the policies of development.
Cameroun like the majority of the countries of L? Does Black Africa undergo a major crisis of L? employment of the young people. With the programs D? adjustment structural carried out in the Nineties pennies control of the institutions of Bretton Woods, Cameroun knew a terrible descent into Hell which leaded the standard of living of its inhabitants, especially that of the most popular classes. Lowers it wages of the agents of L? State, the revalorization of the national currency and the significant reduction in the productivity of the sectors industrial, mining, forest and agricultural increased the poverty of the households as well as the misery of the modest hearths. Did public companies have to close or were privatisées causing blow a terrible shock in the field of L? employment, and this one S? is translated by massive dismissals but also by the reinforcement D? a climate D? social insecurity.
Allocated means with L? teaching and at the national Bottom for L? employment (FNE), a kind D? Arranges national for L? were employment (ANPE) with Cameronian, revised considerably, consequently leaving at the pithead the quality of the policy D? national education and of L? employment. Was the whole education system almost destroyed and the vocational training S? is appreciably impoverishes. A situation which led to more corruption and D? opacity, décrédibilisant with the passage the national diplomas.
Are all the observers unanimous on the fact that the climate with L? is current hour morose, and that is seen partly through the rate D? failure record with the official examinations, which for these last years has plunged literally in the abyssals zone. C? is under these particular conditions that the Cameronian students, with L? instar of those of L? are university of Yaounde, confronted with the beginning of their course with the problem of the under-employment and L? inexistence of outlets. L? one can easily detect in the conversations and debates qu? they have at the hours of pause, a real anguish of L? future. Which formation for which life? Here is in short the question which taps these young people. Some acknowledge that the choice of their die is justified not by a certain vocation but by the concern of returning in the requirements of the labour market. Then, it is noted that the professional dies (economy, accountancy, management etc) are saturated while the dies more traditional as the letters are deserted. Have new fact, the right and political science had for five years the wind in poop, undoubtedly because of L? improvement of the liberal function and L? impression which the policy enriches.
And when these efforts are not enough, Cameronian young people N? do not hesitate to try their chance by the way of L? immigration, clandestine or not. All networks leading to Paris.

They are given thoroughly, C? is undeniable the Cameronian young people are large hard workers. And in spite of do the weakness of prospects, they seek with S? in leaving in the abstract sector. C? is here what L? one calls the “smartness”. C? is like L? one will find in the streets of Yaounde of young salesmen on the run, “bensikinneurs”, washers of car, however diplomas of the most serious schools. Often, in margin of this abstract in which they after a fashion try to survive, it is common that the Cameronian young people take refuge in the buveries, the prostitution and the delinquency, making urban and industrialized zones places D? a strong dangerosity. The aggressions on the people, the steerings and the offences of any kind are the daily batch of the inhabitants of Yaounde for which the persons in charge are in the majority of the cases of young people, victims of the famous evils of Voltaire: L? trouble, the vice one and the need.

This stage, a report S? imposes coldly, L? education, contrary to the generally accepted ideas, N? is not always the key of the problem. “Doesn't the formation constitute of anything a guarantee to find an employment decent” as supports it Dorothea Schmidt, economist at the ILO and joint author of the report/ratio on L? employment of the young people in sub-Saharan Africa. Aren't many young graduates found, for example, taxi drivers or agents of safety? And when well even they work, they are very slightly renumérés what in fact of the extremely poor people as underlines it says it report/ratio: “only one young person on ten gains enough for S? to raise above the threshold of 2 dollars per day”.
In Cameroun, under-employment of young N? is in fact that the emerged part of L? iceberg which hides D? other realities even more dramatic like L? incompetence and clientelism of L? public administration. What causes D? to cancel any will to reform the system and to propose fast solutions with the under-employment of the Cameronian young people. The conferences and other seminars coming and follow one another without L? one can foresee an exit of crisis. L? attack of the point D? completion, ultimate stage of process PPTE (poor and heavily in debt Countries), N? jusqu does not have? to date to bring to Cameronian the puff D? fresh air qu? one had promised to them. A qu was needed unfortunately? there are strong student's strikes, re-pressed in blood and silence, so that the budget of L? higher education is revalorized and than new infrastructures are built. An agreement with the two sides of industry and economic aiming creating and at supporting L? individual initiative through small and medium-sized companies was found. But as L noticed it judiciously? former American ambassador in Yaounde, Niels Marquadt, the problem of the under-employment of the young people resides more in the corruption, the lack of communication on the various development aids allocated by the Western countries, ONG international and the bodies U.N., and administrative heaviness that by L? absence of creativity and qualification of the Cameronian young people.
However, Cameroun would gain with S? to inspire by L? example of the other sub-Saharan African countries which set up projects which make it possible to the young people to remain in their country and to leave L? abstract, with L? instar of Senegal. With did its project Dream (Return towards L? Agriculture) bound for these young repatriated emigrants of the Canaries, Senegal offers an alternative to its youth, anxious of its future. A bet going in the direction of the ILO for which the agricultural sector “has to continue to play an important part in the strategies D? employment of the young people and in the total strategies D? eradication of poverty” in spite “D? a rural migration growing”. What would be appropriate for a country as Cameroun whose agricultural sector represents the majority of the incomes of L? State. It would imperatively be necessary to start reform the purpose of which will be to modernize it and to make it more suited to the international trade. This agricultural sector is provider of 40% of employment in the world. And in sub-Saharan Africa, C? is L? one of the principal employers, with the abstract sector, of the young people.
But it N? in residence not less than L? Does State have to diversify by supporting a climate favourable with the creation of the companies by, D? access, reinforcement of the vocational training with more D? infrastructures and D? ethics, then by L? administrative and tax lightening on any initiative of creation D? company by requiring quotas D? engage young nationals. Lastly, to allow L? innovation scientific and technical by poles or research centers, while adapting the social principles to competitiveness, dependent on universalization.
While waiting for that stated measurements are taken into account, the Cameronian young people as in this day of academic re-entry, feel funny D? is impression what all played L? advances, and that the méritocratie is a reassuring word which sounds hollow, but especially which does not arrive by their removing this anguish of L? future.
