Bibliography: ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………pg11 Analysis and Interpretation of Data From this it can be said that most of the respondents were within the age group of eighteen to thirty. The first questionnaire asked the respondents what level of education have they attained or obtained. A vast number of the participants attained a secondary education forty percent, followed by a tertiary education of twenty five percent and the minority attaining a primary education of twenty five percent. From the information mentioned above it can be said that majority of the youths in Freeland, Mesopotamia are not well educated. The second questionnaire asked the respondents how may subjects they have attained. A great majority of the participants did not obtain a subject thirty five percent. Thirty percent gained under five subjects without mathematics and English. Fifteen percent gained five subjects including mathematics and English. Ten percent gained five subjects including maths alone. From this it can be said that most youths are unemployed mainly because they do not have the educational qualifications or in other worlds they lack compulsory subjects. Question three asked the respondents have they ever worked before. The ration of yes and no is 18:7. From this analysis it can be said that the youths in Freeland have worked before or have had working experience. According to question six sixty percent of the children were found to have children. Sixty of the figures are unemployed while the other forty are currently employed. Seventy five percent of the unemployed female respondents are dependent on family and loved ones while the remaining twenty five depend on friends.
