unemployment means being without work. i.e.work without wages.it affects people in different ways.some try harder or use intelligence to get employment again.some try to set themselves up in business,employing others. small businesses, like the grocery shop,newsagents,garages,medical shops,bakeries, all these provide not only work ,but also allow them to dream of security. because work is basically financial security of some kind. employment or business also gives respectability.then there are the professions - law,accountancy,construction.my pet theory is self employment. i.e. business/profession of your own on a small scale. it is time to seriously encourage and support small home run businesses against the big companies.some have the courage (and also capital) to set up their own small businesses/professions. others do not . they eventually work for others,in some cases,big companies.how many professions have disappeared in the world leading to companies taking over. understand one thing. companies need people to purchase/use their products. they also are interested in profits mainly.people work for others and when their time is over,they are thrown out. but small businesses keep you and your family till the last.understand that it is ordinary people who decide their fate and not the top company heads or leaders of state..conversation about this is the first step.secondly, spread your trade to small businesses slowly and steadily. innovation is the need of the hour.but innovate with the long term view in mind. financial freedom and safety for people.joint families provide more benefits than drawbacks.think about it.in war, countries with more people in small businesses survive and are much stronger than others.recession and depression are also wars.it is time to think and reduce the hold of big business in different fields.this topic of self employment is a detailed one and requires lot of thinking.wish you all the best.
