Letters: Cost of living

In recent times, prices of basic necessities such as food, fuel, housing, and electricity have risen sharply.

Meanwhile, wages have not kept pace, and many people-particularly recent graduates and young adults-are finding it difficult to secure stable employment.

This mismatch is creating financial stress, increasing debt levels, and making it harder for families to live with dignity.

The situation calls for urgent attention from policymakers and employers. We need more investment in job creation, accessible vocational training programmes, and fair wage policies. Addressing inflation and improving employment conditions are crucial steps toward building a more equitable society.

Our leaders must recognize the struggles faced by ordinary citizens and work towards sustainable, long-term solutions.
