Abstract: Employment of graduates is considered at national level as a a problem for the educational planners in diffrent countries. This is of great concern because not only the employment market is at the core of social and ecomomic development but also it gives individuals a social role to play through gainful employment. This article describes the problem, analyses the relationship between education and employment, studies the causes of graduate unemployment and suggests some solutions to alleviate the problem. The most important cause of graduate unemployment is the stagnation in economic growth. Slower economic growth in the face of a faster growth in supply of graduates from the institutions of higher education around the wold is at the heart of the problem. Social factors have effect on unemployment growth in population and labour force participation rate, espicially among women, is very important. Lack of interaction between number of graduates and demand in they labour market as well as lack of proper information about where the jobs are and how to get them are other reasons for graduate unemployment.
