Q.2.1 Unemployment between the ages of 15 and 24 has reached a staggering 71 million (ILO, 2016). Solution fluency is a guided problem solving framework that consists of six D’s. Use the solution fluency process to solve unemployment problems in your area. Provide a brief background of your area and how you intend to tackle this problem.

Q2.1

There are always people that struggle with finding work especially studying as a student from a different country as there are only so many hours you are allowed to work. However, some people may struggle because they do not have the skills required to work at a job that includes computers or any technology. The solution fluency process:

Define:  see where the problem is occurring and then deciding what to do to try fix it, however, this may be difficult as you have to try being as close to defining the right problem. This will help start trying to fix unemployment by finding solutions to help.

Discover: this is the stage where they examine the problem and see how it reached this point and maybe how it could have been avoided in the past. This stage will help unemployment problems as they can see where jobs have been lost and why and what to improve on.

Dream:  this stage is where they look at the future and what solutions can be made to help unemployment, in this case. They will look at all the possibilities as well as the problem areas that may arise.

Design: the design phase is when they see how they can get to the stage they looking for in the future and they start planning and evaluating all solutions.

Deliver: this “puts the design phase into action”, meaning that whatever ideas they come up with to help unemployment they start creating the solutions e.g. computer classes and then they start offering them to people.

Debrief: this is the final stage where you look at everything you have done and see what areas were good and helpful and the areas that may need more research. You would see if the outcome of all the research helped and made a difference in the end.
