Abid Khazandar Al-Riyadh There are solutions to tackle unemployment but not eliminate it completely. Eliminating unemployment is impossible in light of the current global economic climate. These solutions require us to try something we have not tried before. These solutions, however, have already been implemented in the West and is now a way of making a living. One such solution is e-commerce. If it is implemented, especially among women where the jobless rate is 36 percent, then unemployment will be solved. In the West, most economic deals between the manufacturer and consumers are done through Internet marketing. There are huge companies with a combined capital of billions of dollars that are now supplying consumers with all what they want. Now a company like Amazon is delivering their goods using remote-controlled planes. After completing millions of orders all over the world, Amazon can now predict what a consumer would order, package it and put it in the truck ready for delivery. This company became widespread all over the world and has started to diversify. Lately, the company's founder entered the media industry and bought the Washington Post. Small grocery stores began to disappear because their prices are high compared to online retailers. Underneath my apartment building in Paris is a small grocery store but I rarely buy from it. Life became simple. Imagine if you woke up at midnight and could not find milk in the refrigerator. You can go to your computer and order one and it would be delivered in the morning. The capability of e-commerce is bigger than what we can imagine. If we implement it we will solve youth unemployment and put an end to cover-up businesses, run solely by expatriates in exchange for a monthly fee to the registered Saudi owner and which are widespread among small grocery shops.
