Underdeveloped and developing countries are more afflicted by the problem of unemployment than the developed countries in present times. Claims about unemployment in poorer countries have widened as the study by the World Bank in 2004 stated that the unemployment rate in sub-Saharan Africa is at around 30% because people there do not have access to basic amenities. The university graduates in an African country of Tunisia are facing massive unemployment as many students survive on less than $3 in a day.

This miserable state leads many to unsuitable jobs and forces them to work under a despairing work environment. Some even work at places that are dangerous for their lives, such as the factories where the vast machines can cause grievous accidents. The labor can end up being handicapped. The lack of social and physical protection persuades men to remain unemployed rather than losing their lives.

The unemployment problem is also mainly caused by discrimination between men and women, and this is mostly widespread in third world countries. The employers set job criteria according to gender so that the least number of people can get employed. He fixes the nature of a particular job that is only suitable for men and neglect talented women. Moreover, women face discrimination in the distribution of wages. This social inequality is existing for centuries and is the least addressed issue.
