Mass Deportations Leave Afghan Skills Untapped
Over two million Afghans have been deported from Iran and Pakistan this year, according to Tolo News. This staggering figure represents a significant humanitarian challenge for Afghanistan.
Many of these returnees possess valuable skills, particularly in agriculture. However, they face widespread unemployment and difficult living conditions upon their return.
The Afghan government has initiated a crucial initiative to register the skills of these deported citizens. This aims to connect them with potential employment opportunities and alleviate the growing crisis.
This initiative is vital not only for the economic stability of individual families but also for Afghanistan’s overall economic recovery. The effective integration of these skilled returnees is paramount for the nation’s future prosperity. Failure to do so risks exacerbating existing social and economic instability.
