Many skilled individuals today face challenges not only in finding jobs but also in receiving fair pay. Despite having qualification and experience, they’re often offered positions with salaries that don’t reflect their expertise or effort. This is partly because businesses look to cut costs, knowing there’s a large pool of job seekers competing for limited opportunities.
A collaborative solution between educational institutions, companies and government agencies could help address this issue. Schools could emphasise hands-on training to better prepare graduates for real-world roles, while companies must recognise that fair wages build a motivated workforce. Government incentives for fair-pay practices could also encourage companies to compensate skilled workers appropriately.
Ensuring fair wages benefits individuals and strengthens the workforce, contributing to a more productive economy.
