Top 5 Timely Thesis Topics on Job Fairs and Youth Unemployment in the Philippines

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

I was scrolling through the news and saw a story about thousands of Filipinos landing jobs on Independence Day. It felt like a win. But then I stopped. Out of nearly 26,000 who showed up, only a few got hired right away. Others were told to wait. Some were told they were almost good enough. And the rest? They walked home still jobless. I imagined the long lines, the sweat, the hope, and the silence when their names weren’t called.

Here’s the problem.

This isn’t just about job fairs. This is about survival.

Every day, thousands line up with their resumes and dreams. Not because they’re lazy. Not because they didn’t try. But because they were never given the right tools. Many schools do not train students for today’s jobs. Many young people do not have access to career support. And worse, many families still see a job fair as the only shot at a better life.

This is why we have near-hires. This is why 1.94 million Filipinos are still unemployed. This is why over 10% are underemployed, begging silently for a second shift, a longer contract, or just something more.

We need to study this. We need to expose the gaps.

You can be the one to dig deep into this system. You can be the one to bring real answers, not just numbers.

Bestie, let’s stop pretending you’ve “got it covered.”

You’re here because:

• Your title keeps getting rejected

• You don’t know the difference between a “topic” and a “research gap”

• You’re guessing your way through something that decides your graduation

And let’s be real — you’ve already:
❌ Tried making titles from scratch
❌ Watched “How to Write a Thesis Title” TikToks
❌ Copy-pasted topics from other people's thesis (ooops?)

Still stuck? Exactly.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need a system.

That’s what the Thesis Toolkit gives you:

✅ YTB Thesis Title Booster – because you need legit, research-based topics based on current trends — not random ones na “maganda pakinggan.”

✅ Thesis Title Builder – because you keep forgetting na kailangan may survey source or research instrument ka rin, hindi lang title.

✅ Research Gap Finder – because most of your drafts get rejected for one reason: Walang gap.

YOU NEED THIS IF...

• You're tired of starting over

• You're afraid to open your adviser’s feedback

• You want a title, gap, and source na adviser-friendly and academically sound

This isn’t optional.
It’s either you use this toolkit...
