The research also highlights the negative impact of unemployment on economic growth, poverty, migration, social stability, and psychological well-being. In addition, the article discusses the role of digital transformation, globalization, and labor market reforms in reducing unemployment levels. The study is based on analytical and descriptive research methods and provides practical recommendations for improving employment opportunities and achieving sustainable socio-economic development in developing countries.
