Self-Blame: Unemployed Young Adults in Finding New Jobs
Introduction
Our topic is self-blame in unemployed young adults in finding new jobs. The problem is that previous researchers have not addressed the effect of behavioural self-blame (BSB) and characterological self-blame (CSB) in unemployed young adults on their job seeking behavior.

She said that with most corporate jobs, they get health insurance as part of their benefits, but that does not mean they get to keep it

Consequently, the unemployed do not take up existing job vacancies, and employers are unwilling to hire available candidates (Njonjo, 2010). The mismatch is more marked for school leavers and graduates who have just finished school, partly providing an explanation for the high unemployment rate among youth and new entrants into the job market. The suggested remedy is to reform the education system and increase focus on technical education and vocational training, matching them to the needs of the job market (Coenjaerts et al. 2009).
