Abstract

This study conducts a statistical analysis of the rising unemployment rate among Bangladeshi university graduates, focusing on skill gaps, qualification mismatches, and deficiencies in the education system.

It is anticipated that the investigation would identify important elements that contribute to graduate unemployment, such as a possible discrepancy between academic credentials and demands of the labor market. Employment outcomes are likely to be significantly influenced by factors like geography, socioeconomic background, and field of study. Reducing graduate unemployment is essential to Bangladesh's long-term development. The research suggests, Matching educational programs to industry needs. Growing programs for technical and vocational training. Enhancing industry-academia collaboration.
