Iraq's Oil Dependency Leads to High Unemployment Rates, Urgent Economic Diversification Needed.
Economic shocks from oil price changes have a big impact on Iraq's job market. The country relies heavily on oil revenue, which affects other sectors' ability to create jobs. When oil prices are high, the government didn't invest in other industries, leading to high unemployment rates. To solve this, Iraq needs to diversify its economy, reduce reliance on oil, and boost non-oil sectors to create more jobs.
