Why does the government want to solve unemployment?

Governments are also trying to solve the problem of unemployment. They want to counter this problem as it will be destroy any economy if not reduced to an acceptable level.  The government has to pay unemployment benefits to the unemployed people and as unemployed people are both willing and able to work, yet unable to work they are actually not contributing in any way towards the economy of the country so not contributing towards economic growth.
