Version corrigée : At present, many young graduates cannot find a job. The government has made considerable efforts, but the results are disappointing. Its policy is to raise the minimum wage and to provide more training for the unemployed. This may help in the long run, but the problem is highly complex and calls for careful thought.

(4) The politic : policy (ensemble de mesures) ; politic est un adjectif rare (« habile »). (5) rise transitif : raise. (6) formations : faux ami, training (indénombrable). (7) Eventually pour « éventuellement » : faux ami ; ici, l'idée est une possibilité future, this may help. (8) pretty complex et a large reflexion : registre familier et calque ; highly complex, careful thought. Les contractions (can't) et a lot of relèvent aussi du registre, et ont été corrigées au passage.
