Air

Harare has one International Airport where a flight from all over the world arrives and departs. The city has only one airport, and thus, there is so much need to develop this air transportation. Also, tourists have to change a few flights to reach Harare, reaching here can take so much time. Hence, the government needs to think about another airport in Harare.

Train

It has only one railway station named Harare railways station, a runner by Zimbabwe's National railways. The number of trains present in Zimbabwe is less and passengers have to wait very long for the next train so government should think about developing the railway network as the population of Harare is increasing day by day. Shortly, a good railway network's requirement will increase, though Harare is connected to every nearby city in Zimbabwe.

Again, this practice should increase in every country as we all are just disposing of our waste anywhere we want to dispose of it, destroying our mother nature.

Work and Study Abroad

Harare's education system is still under development as the quality of education provided here is not up to the mark. People over here prefer To go out and study, but this procedure requires so much paperwork and all the other formalities. The population of Harare is very high and according to the population amount of work is significantly less. Hence, people over here do any job, whether part-time or full time at low wages.

Exchange Student

Exchange student means studying at a particular University, and later they will send you abroad for higher education and also getting settled there. This method is not so standard in Harare as the education system is still under development. There are significantly fewer universities in Harare, which are carrying out exchange programs, and also, there are very few seats in this program. So, fewer people let a chance to enroll. Many more deserving candidates are still left behind due to seats' limitations, so students here don't enroll themselves here as the competition for it is extraordinarily high, and chances of getting a seat here are very, very low.


Au Pair

This is kind of a part-time job where people earn daily. People do this when they require money and cannot find a job in any other field; under this category, works like a caretaker, homemaking, etc. are present. Due to fewer job opportunities in Harare, so many people do this kind of work to make their living and job opportunities. Harare is very low, and people never get the job of their desires. They do whatever work they get. They also get underpaid and because of this ratio of poor people in Zimbabwe is very high. However, the ratio is decreasing but not at a very rapid rate. Still, it will take so many years to remove the poverty from here, the government is trying extremely hard to employ the poor people, and they also got successful. However, still, there are more job requirements in Harare.
